Batman: Arkham City Collector's Edition Revealed

Batman: Arkham City, the new open-world, third-person adventure title from Rocksteady Studios and Warner Bros., has just received the official confirmation of its Collector's Edition, which will be available in limited quantities later this year alongside the regular title.

Batman: Arkham City is eagerly anticipated by a lot of people, as it will try to improve on the already impressive features of its predecessor, Arkham Asylum, while throwing in lots of new characters from the Batman comics, including Catwoman or Robin, not to mention villains like The Riddler or Two-Face.

Batman: Arkham City sees the Dark Knight take on a whole district of his native Gotham city controlled by criminals and some of his most famous arch villains, including Dr. Hugo Strange, The Riddler, Two-Face or The Penguin.
