Our Take
Collector's editions are now an inescapable part of high-profile game releases, so it's not surprising that Batman: Arkham Origins would get the red-carpet treatment. This edition packs in a lot of goodies, including that amazing statue. Of course, that bonus content won't likely remain exclusive forever, but this'll hold you over until the inevitable game of the year edition arrives. It's definitely one of the more impressive collector's editions I've seen, though I can't help but wonder if that stencil is going to bite Warner in the backside. The Joker would surely be proud.
