Which I think was the best Batman game ever made. As Batman you must go into the dangerous Arkham City to rescue Cat Woman and find Hugo Strange one of the only men who know your true identity. Considering how great Arkham Asylum was this game should be hours and hours of thug beating Batarang throwing fun.
