Last month, rumors were floating around the internet about a possible collector’s edition for Batman: Arkham Asylum. According to the rumors, the CE was going to be packed with a 12″ Batarang, soundtrack and other goodies. Edios was mum about the gossip and since that time, nothing else was talked about. Today, the publisher has confirmed that there is indeed going to be a collector’s edition and will sell for $100. The CE will include:

*14″ Batarang on a stand, which will resemble the in-game version.

*48 page Arkham doctor’s journal, which will cover in detail the inmates of Arkham Asylum. The journal will be protected by a leather dust jacket.

*2 sleeve digi-pack and feature a behind-the-scenes DVD, as well as the game.

*A code to download an exclusive level titled “Crime Alley.”

Everything bundled with the collector’s edition will be packed in a case that looks like a bat… How clever! Although it’s a tad expensive for most gamers, hardcore Batman fans are probably going to eat this up.

Batman: Arkham Asylum is scheduled to be in stores on June 9, 2009.
