OK, make your selection guys, because the speecial Edition for the upcoming ARKHAM ORIGINS game scheduled for October 25th will come in two editions with dramatic difference in contents.

First the UK ARKHAM ORIGINS SPECIAL EDITION that we had seen leaked from IGN: (PS3 and XBox360)

In addition to a copy of the game, the CE features an 80-page art book, metal game case, the Deathstroke Challenge Pack, and a “1st Appearance” Batman skin. Eight pages of information on the assassins hunting Batman come in a dossier as well. But the real appeal is in the 12-inch statue of Batman and The Joker. On PlayStation 3, Arkham Origins’ CE also includes the Knightfall pack.

Then this is the US ARKHAM ORIGINS Special Edition recently announced: (PS3 and Xbox360)

The special edition will include a statue of the Joker featuring LED effects, an 80-page art book, two pieces of evidence, a Batman Wanted Poster along with Prototype Schematics for the Batwing, an Anarky logo stencil, a glow-in-the-dark map of Gotham, Wayne Family Photo and Intel Dossiers on the eight assassin’s along with Black Mask’s contract.

Additionally, a First Appearance Batman Skin will be included, allowing players to appear as Batman did on his debut in Detective Comics #27 in 1939, along with the Deathstroke Challenge Pack which unlocks two extra Deathstroke skins and bonus challenge maps. Finally, North American versions of the special edition will get a feature-length documentary from Warner Bros. showcasing DC’s supervillains, while the PS3 edition will also have the Knightfall pack as exclusive content

 Which one would you get?  I can live with either one…but I like the Joker in the American one.

And I cannot wait until it gets here in October…

That statue of Batman vs Joker is worth to me the price tag of $99 dollars.  No offense to the Joker Hamilll worked with in both Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, but they made this Joker very ‘attractive’ (yes, even for a computer animated character) and modern at the same time.  I like the new concept and the new look. 

Now, here is the pic of the Collector’s Edition:
