Batman: Arkham City collectors edition official in UK [update: headed to US too]
Where does he get ... that one wonderful toy? If Batman were a resident of the UK, he'd have access to one in the collectors edition of Batman: Arkham City. WB confirmed the existence of the bundle (due on October 21) for that region in a press release, including the single image above of the layout.
The CE includes a Batman statue by Kotobukiya, an artbook, a downloadable soundtrack, early access to the "Iceberg Lounge Challenge Map" and a Dark Knight Returns-style skin, and a copy of the Batman: Gotham Knight animated movie.
Americans suffering from envy of that exclusive swag (if not the game disc unceremoniously tucked into a paper sleeve) shouldn't worry; the details of this UK bundle match up with those posted last week by GameStop. We'll just have to brood in our caves for a bit — we're sure it will be made official for North America soon.
Update: Warner Bros. has confirmed that the collector's edition is slated for the US as well.
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment today unveiled details and images for this Autumn's hotly-anticipated Batman: Arkham City Collector's Edition. The package will be available in limited quantities beginning 21st October 2011 in the UK for Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, and Games for Windows PC.
