Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Batman: Arkham Asylum is based on the animated adventures of the Dark Knight but flaunts the polished production values of a summer blockbuster. Imaginative flourishes punctuate every undertaking as you descend into Arkham prison for Gotham City’s criminally insane. Abilities, including use of the Batarang, grapple-hook and brilliant “detective mode” - allowing Batman to see his enemies through walls - are implemented intelligently, while epic encounters with Gotham’s villains are memorable experiences. This is not just the finest Batman game ever but an outstanding action adventure.
