Paid off Arkham City today from Gamestop. Best Pre-Order bonuses in the US, IMO:

- Joker's Carnival Challenge Map
- B:TAS Skin
- Gotham Knight movie (Yeah, I already have it, but who cares)

Picked up my CE of Dark Souls.

The tin is pretty slick, but the included items are slimmed way down. Its kind of ridiculous. The art book is poorly condensed, killing the presentation. The UK release has a larger format book, seemingly, which also holds both the making of DVD and the soundtrack. This release has no tangible DVD or soundtrack. The original plan was to have the mini guide be a physical book, but that was abandoned to get a digital copy. Well, this went further in the US, with the digital copy voucher being for the soundtrack, making of, and the guide.

Awesome! I pre-ordered this as well but from Best Buy. I'd say their pre-order is better. It comes with Robin. Last I checked the Gamestop one only has the Joker map and a digital copy of the movie. The TAS skin is awesome though, I hope it's unlockable in the game. The CE comes with the Dark Knight Returns skin and hopefully a Bluray copy of the movie but it'll probably just end up being a DVD. I kind of wish it was Under the Red Hood instead.

The CE should come with Batman Year One. It comes out the same day as the game, and for $30 extra dollars, should have it in there rather than Gotham Knight.

I beleive the Best Buy bonus is a few extra maps and costumes for Robin. I'm pretty sure he's playable in the maps that don't come in that pack.

That would be cool as well. The Robin bonus is a pack. You get him, a skin, and the maps. BB claims he is exclusive to people who pre-ordered the game from them. He's useable in challenge mode so I wonder if his maps can be played as other characters as well.

Nightwing has also just been announced as a DLC pack too.

Know what was the best part of Arkham Asylum? The challenge maps.

Wait. No.
