Sneak Peek of Batman: Arkham City from Comic-Con 2011
The long-awaited sequel to Arkham Asylum, a free-roaming videogame allowing players to engage with the dark knight's rogue's gallery in new ways. All of the material I have seen for this game is simply stunning. The detective aspect has been amped up and the physics are astounding.

The video features interviews with the cast and crew including Kevin Conroy (recognized as one of the most of not THE definitive Batman), writer Paul Dini and Mark Hamill (the Joker and some guy from Star Wars). If you haven't pre-ordered this yet... do it now.

Details via MTV's Multiplayer Blog:

Some rumors were milling about the last couple days about a collector's edition for the upcoming "Batman: Arkham City." Well, it turns out the $99 price-point was accurate, and thanks to an announcement from Warner Bros. this morning, we get our first look at the premium package's content. It doesn't include a plastic Batarang, but there's plenty of great stuff inside.

If you're willing to pay the premium cost, the "Batman: Arkham City" collector's edition is packed full of stuff that should please both fans of the videogame franchise and the comics.

First, there's the collectible Batman statue, designed by Japanese toy company Kotobukiya. I wish the image released by Warner Bros. today had a more detailed close-up of the sculpture, but given Kotobukiya's usually high-quality craftsmanship, I'm willing to bet this will look great next to all your other gaming paraphernalia.

The collector's edition also comes with an art book, a copy of the DC animated-film "Batman: Gotham Knight," early access to the Iceberg Lounge Challenge Map, a "Dark Knight Returns" skin, and four collectible cards. Also included is an "Arkham City" album from "hit artists." There's no indication who these "hit artists" are, but it doesn't appear that this is a soundtrack, either. Weird.

The press release this morning also noted that the collector's edition will be available in "limited quantities," so if this is something you're interested in, now may be a good time to visit your favorite retailer. "Batman: Arkham City" releases to Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC on October 18.
