Developed by Rocksteady Studios, Batman: Arkham City builds upon the foundation of Batman: Arkham Asylum, sending players soaring into Arkham City, the new maximum security “home” for all of Gotham City’s thugs, gangsters and insane criminal masterminds.

Set inside the heavily fortified walls of a sprawling district in the heart of Gotham City, the sequel introduces a new story that draws together a new all-star cast of classic characters and murderous villains from the Batman universe, as well as a vast range of fresh and enhanced gameplay feature, according to the developer.

Features include:
