Batman Arkham City

Developed by Rocksteady Studios, Batman: Arkham City builds upon the intense, atmospheric foundation of Batman: Arkham Asylum, sending players soaring into Arkham City, the new maximum security "home" for all of Gotham City's thugs, gangsters and insane criminal masterminds. Set inside the heavily fortified walls of a sprawling district in the heart of Gotham City, this highly anticipated sequel introduces a brand-new story that draws together a new all-star cast of classic characters and murderous villains from the Batman universe, as well as a vast range of new and enhanced gameplay features to deliver the ultimate experience as the Dark Knight.

The big highlight of this particular CE is a custom Batman statue made by Kotobukiya, which has produced Star Wars and Dead or Alive statues, among other things, in the past. It also packs in a collectible art book, digital album, copy of animated movie Batman: Gotham Knight, and early access to both the Iceberg Lounge Challenge mode map and a Dark Knight Returns skin.

The game disc, as seen in the image above, is located in the front flap of the art book. It's a questionable place to put it, as many people would prefer either the same box that buyers of the standard edition will get or an exclusive, CE-only box -- not a sleeve in the front of the art book.

The album isn't a soundtrack from the game; it hasn't been decided if that will be released. What the album instead includes is music from "other artists, inspired by the game," according to Rocksteady European Community Manager Sarah Wellock. .
