It’s no surprise for big releases to come with Collector’s Editions. With Batman: Arkham Asylum (PS3, Xbox 360, PC), of course they’re gonna try to cash in with some Bat-goodies, and they’re charging a bit more for this one. Is it worth it?

Priced at US$ 100, the Batman: Arkham Asylum Collector’s Edition comes with:

• a 14″ Batarang, with stand
• a full, embossed leather dust jacketed Arkham doctorÂ’s journal
• a two-sleeve Digipak containing the game disc and a behind-the-scenes DVD
• a code for the exclusive downloadable challenge map “Crime Alley”
• a full-color manual

Might be tempting to some, but the hundred-buck price tag is serious Bat-buzz kill. If the game’s what you want, no need to bother with this. That’s why they call it the Collector’s Edition, not the Must-Have-For-Everyone Edition.
