CE's are getting better. That statue actually looks pretty damn good. I like that the base opens so you can store the game there. The Alien Bluray set is like that too. I love the extra costume too it's pretty awesome. I look forward to playing it, I just hope I have time!

Oh hell yeah... if this game is even slightly better than AA, I'll love it.
Thanks for posting the CE! I hadn't seen it yet. Badass.

Man. I just got the DCU CE Batman statue...I don't NEED another one. But that looks pretty neat.

But I'll probably save the extra 40 bucks and pick up the Arkham Asylum Bat-figure.

Hell, if I wait a day or two I could probably save $20+ on the game itself, considering the ridiculous deals/****ups that surrounded the first game.

It looks as worthless and retarded as every other "CE" that's come out this generation. The game itself has potential to be awesome as long as it addresses the major issues the first game had.

Edit: Wait...it's seriously $100? Jesus Christ. You may as well flush your $40 down the toilet.

The statue looks great and I'm sure the other things are neat but I don't really care for collector's editions. It's just a way to make more money off of a game. When I buy a game I want to just buy the game and enjoy it for what it is, not pay for extra items. But whatever, it's not like they are forcing it on us. If you enjoy that stuff and have the money for it then go ahead and enjoy it.

As for the game itself, it definitely looks like its an improvement over the first one(It is a sequel after all). The game looks better and better each time I see it and I can't wait to get my hands on it.

This is definitely my most anticipated game right now, with Demon Souls and MGS Rising, hot on it's trail.

Collectors edition comes with a Dark Knight Returns alternate costume? **** yes! I know it will be available to the public eventually, but considering the statue would look good near my game collection, that may be enough to push me to buy this version.

ONE concern: Will The Dark Knight Returns costume be available in story mode? And will it degrade and rip such as the original costume in Arkham Asylum?

Remember the Armored-Batman we could use in Arkham Asylum? Anyone remember if that degraded over time?

Not sure but the Armored one did not show damage. Kind of why I didn't like it. Still neat even if it doesn't.

I don't mind so much. I buy games so infrequently that it's not a big deal to spend a little extra when one I really want comes out. This year all I've bought was Duke Nukem Forever and besides Batman there's not other games I plan on buying. The next game I want after that is Mass Effect 3 and that doesn't come out till March I think.

If I bought games like I used to though I probably wouldn't be so keen on spending that much.

deadpoolRKO · 07-20-2011, 06:29 PM

I'm very anxious for this game , I loved the first one ( besides the few flaws like spending so much time in vents as has been pointed out many times on here )

& I love this little hype up video for the riddler

An opinion that I can't really disagree with.

Does anyone in the world really need a Batman statue to put on a shelf and stare at? It's all useless junk.

Especially Gotham Knights. That movie suuuuuucks.

I would. Batman is pretty sweet. I wouldn't exactly pay that much extra for it, though. $40 is way too much for a "special edition." All of that stuff would most likely get lost in a sea of other stuff in my drawers.

Aside from air, food, water and sleep, nobody "needs" anything... "useless junk" is 99.9% of what makes life interesting and/or bearable.

Me, I can't afford Collector's Editions but it's nice that people with money have the option. Options are nice.
