Two Of The Best Batman Games Ever Are Now Just $1
Someone get Commissioner Gordon on the phone, because two of the best Batman video games of all time are now at their lowest price ever. That's right, you can pick up two of the Caped Crusader's most iconic items for just $1 for the pair.
We've come a long way from the abysmal days of 1997's Batman & Robin tie-in game, and following the success of Rocksteady's Arkham series, we've got the developer's Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and WB Montreal's Gotham Knights on the way. Also, what about those rumours of an Arkham Knight sequel?
Which Batman Games Are On Sale?
If you head over to Humble, you'll be able to nab both Batman: Arkham Asylum and LEGO Batman: The Videogame for a combined price of $1. For those unfamiliar, these two titles came out in what's arguably the renaissance of Batman games.
Arkham Asylum came out in 2009 and was the start of Rocksteady's brooding trilogy. In the midst of Christopher Nolan's much darker Dark Knight trilogy, Arkham Asylum cashed in our love of this darker direction - with legends Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill back voicing Bats and Mr J.
Reimagining villains like Killer Croc, Poison Ivy, and Scarecrow, Arkham Asylum was inspired by the graphic novel Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on a Serious Earth and 2K's BioShock. Here, you can get the Game of the Year edition with four additional challenge maps as part of the bundle.
On a very different end of the spectrum, the adorable LEGO Batman takes the campy themes of the '60s series and puts a typically LEGO spin on things. Hitting console in 2008, Traveller's Tales was back to deliver another comedic LEGO adventure to follow the success of the LEGO Star Wars games.
Much like Arkham Asylum, LEGO Batman spun out into a whole franchise of titles that were increasingly grand and branched further into DC Comics. It's a very different aesthetic to Arkham, but to nab both games for literally nothing is too good an opportunity to pass up on.
Are More Batman Games On Sale?
If you fancy exploring more of the Batcave, you're in luck. Humble also has a five-game bumble that has both of the above alongside the Arkham City GOTY Edition, Arkham Asylum VR, and LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes.
Finally, there's a $10 bundle that gives you EIGHT Batman games by adding Batman: Arkham Knight Premium Edition, Batman: Arkham Origins, and LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham. A portion of the proceeds will go to Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.
Sadly, these offers are only available for PC players. Still, if you part with your cash with Humble, that's a lot of bats in your belfry. For those unfamiliar with how Humble works, the suggested price is a minimum - with gamers being encouraged to donate more.
The more you pay, the more goes to developers, charity, and (obviously) Humble. At the time of writing, the eight-game Batman bundle has raised nearly $8,000 for charity. With Christmas just around the corner, we can't think of a better way to celebrate the video game legacy of Bruce Wayne's brooding alter ego.
