Love the Batman Arkham Knight series

I didn't get it brand new even though I purchased as "NEW", the nose on Batman has slight wear and tear as I can see the white paint begin to surface. Overall this figure is still displayable outside of the box.

The second installment in the I AM Trilogy is a definite hit. Beautifully by both Mikel Janin and Mitch Gerads, this volume has quite possibly one of my favorite Bat stories with the two part Rooftops mini-arc. This book picks up where the last volume left off, and has Bruce assembling his own personal Suicide Squad to take on Bane. King writes from multiple perspectives in this title and gives each of the squad's members a distinctive voice, and ties all the individual plot threads together until they finally cross paths at the end. It's understandable why some might not enjoy this title's dialogue as it can be very cryptic and repetitive; however, Mikel Janin's great artwork makes up for it with his dynamic use of panels, and brilliantly illustrated action. The Rooftops story follows Bruce and Selina for one night as they explore the rooftops of Gotham taking on some of Batman's more obscure villains, and reminiscing over how they met. The artwork here by Mitch Gerads is exceptional, and complements an equally exceptional story. Overall another quality volume.

Throughout the years there have been many video games based off of comic book characters. However, none of these games have been so good as the Batman series. There were a few that were flawed but most gave the player an immersive experience and that was no truer than Arkham series. Starting off with Arkham Asylum you were put in the role of Bruce Wayne trying to stop the Joker. Arkham City was another excellent entry in the series giving you a huge environment to explore. Now the third game in the series called Batman: Arkham Origins has made its way onto consoles but is this a game you should experience?

Arkham Origins is a prequel taking place five years before the events unfold in Arkham Asylum. Set in a wintery Gotham the caped crusader has only been fighting crime for only two years. The police department has no idea whether or not it is a masked vigilante or some urban myth created by people on the street. On a very blustery Christmas eve Batman is being hunted down by eight killers who want to claim the bounty set on his head. The 50 million dollar bounty put in place by a figure only known as the Black Mask wants him dead. While taking care of the black mask's minions you will run into familiar faces such as the Joker and Penguin.

Gameplay is similar to the first two games as you can take your opponents on in one of two ways. You can use stealth to your advantage as you can glide , grapple and sneak around the map to take your targets out quickly and quietly. You can also go in using a variety of gadgets at your disposal such as the batarang, explosive gel and smoke pellets. When you need to travel to a new location you can call upon the batwing to give you a much needed lift instead of going there on foot.

Also included in this game for the first time is a multiplayer mode.  One of the modes is "Invisible Predator Online" in which you can choose from one of three sides. You can choose to play on the side of batman and robin or the gangs of Joker and Bane. The gangs get points by killing off each others reinforcements while batman and robin gain points by intimidating the gang members. Earn enough points and you can play either as Bane or the Joker.

With a rich storyline, great voice acting and multiplayer modes it's clear that if you loved the first two games you need to pick this one up.

The Funko Pop! figures have become my favorite guilty pleasure. As a Batman collector I love all of the variations on the character from the Darker Knight to the campy '66 Bat, they are all fun to collect. It's exciting to see all the variations and especially the special editions through various retailers.  While it isn't always easy to locate them in the retail stores (the special editions and variants) I am fine paying a premium price for some harder to locate figures. This Arkham Batman is no exception.  The coloring (Detective Mode) gives this figure a real unique look making it a great addition to my growing collection. Photos do not do this variant justice, it's extremely impressive in person. This version of the AA Batman is a Hot Topic exclusive adding to the appeal. It arrived well packaged and in very good condition.

I hope Funko continues to add more variants to the Batman line. The anticipation of "what will they think of next" makes collecting these figures a very enjoyable hobby

lego batman is so cool and although the characters don't talk I knew the story right off the bat [get it] hoping to play 2 and 3

This comic is almost perfect. Just the send ups of Batman are worth the price of admission. Notice how his costume changes and Mr. Ennis and Mr. McCrea recreate iconic Batman scenes. I hope that the series holds up long term. I am a big fan of these two.

If Arkham Asylum was a Revolution, and then Arkham City was a Evolution, Arkham Origins is an Expansion. This is a really fantastic game, and if it didn't have two previous amazing games, I'd easily give this a five star, but because it fails to make a major jump forward from Arkham City, I have to downgrade it. Having said that, I had a blast playing Arkham Origins, as I found the story far superior to that of the previous two games. This isn't the origin story of how Bruce Wayne became Batman, but the story of how Batman became Batman. In addition to the fantastic storyline, the boss fights have become much more varied and complex, in a good way. I really enjoyed seeing a mix of new characters which breathed some new life into the franchise. They have increased the size of the actual city to double what it was in Arkham City and expanded on some of the features such as detective mode to make it a more immersive experience, but I want more.

The negatives I had were few, but they existed. Part of being a series is the luxury you have to grow from greatness. While Arkham Origins is great, I'm not so sure how much it grows from the previous 2 games. The city is cool, but I'm not sure the areas are as memorable as they were in Arkham City. And while I am willing to suspend a lot of disbelief, some things are a pretty big jump to make (basically the city has become a war zone without any regular people around). Also, this issue may be fixed with a patch in the future, but I had major freezing issues, the game would stop all the time and I'd have to restart my whole Xbox. One time my game froze and after I restarted it, it said my game had been corrupted and I needed to delete the game, so I had to start all the way over. Other than that, I enjoyed this game overall. Very easy to play, especially if you have played the other two Arkham games. I hope games in the future take some of the stories and ideas Arkham Origins had and really thrust them forward.

This is Batman and Robyn's story.  I love this couples' names this made me laugh.

This story was moving to me the way Batman thought he was going to lose his mate and would not let her go. How painful that must have felt to wait so long for your mate and then see her slipping away from you in your arms.

This book introduces more of the families including the brothers of the Spirit Mates and them all finding their place within this extending family community.

More and more secrets are getting exposed about all the couples and the families.  The stories have lots of humour in them too which I am really enjoying.

If you are a person of faith then the stories will speak to you on a spiritual level too.  On to book 6.

Great addition to the Batman games. I'm so impressed by the quality of the Batman series in the past few years of playing them.
However Arkham Origins does have some mob glitches where they spazz out or get stuck against walls and spazz if you knock them upwards.
It is still a good game and the bad rep that people give the game seem to be from people who are just too critical about certain things and blow things out of proportion.
I would recommend the game especially now that it's cheap too, a bonus during sales.

The games is brilliant if you are an Arkham Fan. However, there's seems to be a lot of bugs that are whimpering around when you play with the game. It's liked they just hurried this games out without polishing the game. Beside's that if you are a Batman fan, then it's an amazing world to play this game and enjoy. Multiplayer for me was a disappointment, if you care for the story and beginner in Arkham world this game is to buy

Game experience is very similar to Batman Arkham city. It is pretty much a sandbox style Middle Earth game.

Graphic scenes, sound effects & the real-time weather changes are fantastic.

First, this is the only Batman Game that I have ever played. Being a fan of the movies but never the comics, I always wanted to play a Batman game. This game never disappoints and it delivers. Great graphics, game play and re-play value. New and free downloaded content are available and are very challenging. The PS3 version tops if off with it's exclusive Joker maps. I highly recommend this to anyone.

Hush.......Leaves you wanting more. I have read alot of different Batman stories. This is one is top 3 maybe after re-reading it might become number 1. The story is very engaging and draws you in. The plot twist and the art work is excellent. I like a comic that candraw you in. Not to spoil anything leaves u up in the air. But like Batman said the answer is in the details

Batman: Arkham Asylum can easily be said to be one of the best games of all time.  Its graphics are gorgeous thanks to Unreal Engine 3 and a talented team.  Its original story continues the adventures of Batman that everyone loves.  Its gameplay feel is outstanding -- with few to no obvious bugs or flaws, it is smooth and immediately engaging.  It can easily be compared to Call of Duty 4 for its smooth, movie-like gameplay.  Overall, Batman: Arham Asylum deserves a 10/10.  This 2009 title is a must buy so go grab it and live out the Dark Knight you always imagined.

My only concern is the length of the story, but it appears that downloadable content will be available later on hopefully.

It's Batman, why wouldn't it get 5 stars.  This series is the best.  Batman is smart, grumpy, dark but threatening.  He's got all the toys and isn't afraid to use them.
