It’s been a few weeks since we last posted an edition of Trailer Madness, and we’ve got a ton of video to catch up on. To start things off, we’ve got the Arkham Asylum sequel trailer that premiered at Spike TV’s video game awards show. We follow that up with a “Battlefield Moments” segment from Battlefield Bad Company 2. Then an interview with Stan Lee about Super Hero Squad Show. After that it’s on to some insanity with some Muscle March gameplay footage. And those are just four of the 20 videos we’ve got this week. Enjoy!
