The jury is still out on whether this will be the first really great Batman game, though it does sound promising. Today Eidos and Warners announced the (inevitable) Collector’s Edition of the game, and hot damn does it have some cool stuff. From the Press Release:
14″ Batarang with stand
Matches the Batarang’s in-game designArkham Doctor’s Journal
48 pages of notes on Arkham’s inmates
Embossed leather dust jacket2 Sleeve Digi-pack, including:
Game disc
Behind-the-scenes DVDCode for downloadable Challenge Map
Exclusive “Crime Alley” map, available immediately
OK, the Batarang and Arkham Journal alone sound more than worth the extra scratch for this version of the game. I lok forward to the inevitable injury reports from people throwing the Batarang around, though. No word on if the Journal was written by Paul Dini, who is scripting the game, but I’ll update here if/when I get a response. Regardless, it’s nice to see a Collector’s Edition that actually offers some fun pack-ins. The game is due this summer, and official Facebook and MySpace pages have been setup for fans to keep track of the latest announcements.

Well, let’s hope they’re quality items and that the price isn’t through the roof.

89.99 – 100.00 easy.

I got the collector’s edition this morning and I just have one question? Is the batarang supposed to be all scratched up like that or did someone just decided to scratch the hell out of it before putting it in the case?

Adolfog01, my batarang is also scratched up. So I guess, it’s suppose to be like that.

In some version if not all you can play as the joker.
