BUY ME: Batman: Arkham Asylum


Batman: Arkham Asylum's final release date has been set to August 28. Hopefully it won't be pushed back any further. So it's time to check out what bonus goodies you can get for this game.

First off, the game has a collector's edition that includes a 14" Batarang along with:

* Arkham Doctor’s Journal

* 48 pages of notes on Arkham’s inmates
* Embossed leather dust jacket

* 2 Sleeve Digi-pack, including:

* Game disc
* Behind-the-scenes DVD

But the extras don't end there. Depending on where you buy the game, you can get some bonus material.


On Amazon (only in America) you can get a limited edition comic book that serves as a prequel to the game.


The Road to Arkham is a 16-page comic written by Alan Burnett, illustrated by Carlos D'Anda and produced by DC Comics specifically for the launch of Batman: Arkham Asylum.

The Road to Arkham Story:

Batman has captured his greatest foe, The Joker, and is escorting him to Arkham Asylum, Gotham City's home for the criminally insane. But a series of anonymous tips has put Batman on alert; still, he does not realize that he is speeding toward the darkest journey of his life, one that will test all of his abilities in the chaotic depths of Arkham Island.

If you're going to go to your local Gamestop, or buying it online from them, you can get an bonus in-game challenge map involving the Scarecrow called "Dem Bones." You'll also get a "Time Alley" challenge map that can be unlocked using an exclusive code.

Also, as mentioned before, if you have any trouble deciding what console to get the game for (360 or PS3), remember that in the Playstation 3 version, you will be able to play as the joker. That makes the decision quite simple.
