There have been Joker world domination plots more subtle than the Batman: Arkham remaster rumours, and finally the leaks have been confirmed with a trailer today. Due out on 26th July in North America and 29th July in Europe, Batman: Return to Arkham will comprise Unreal Engine 4 enhanced ports of PlayStation 3 favourites Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City – but there's no room for brand black sheep Batman: Arkham Origins on the Blu-ray.
Judging by the inaugural trailer, this package will include all of the DLC add-ons released for the superhero smash hits, which means that you'll have plenty to POW your way through. For this author's money, Arkham Asylum is still the most focused of the Rocksteady trilogy. Given that each entry has built upon its predecessor, though, is this a series that you're itching to replay? Pull out your shark spray in the comments section below.

woohoo!
I just saw that trailer in my inbox and whilst it isn't a surprise, I am excited to revisit 2 of the best games of last gen! I didn't get all the DLC of the first - because I wasn't bothered by the challenge modes/maps. I ended up buying the GotY edition of 'City' for my XB360 (I already owned the steelbook version on PS3) so played the Harley Quinns Revenge DLC - didn't bother with the challenge maps or skins.
Arkham Asylum and City are one of those 'rare' games that I have on both PS3 and beat on both consoles too - so looking forward to beating it again on PS4...
This is good timing, during the slow days of mid-summer.

@get2sammyb I love the Taylor memes we always get in the comments section from you!!!!
Bane make bruised Wayne.
Id love to go through Arkham Asylum again on ps4 - my favourite game of all the times - but id rather have it as a download than disc might grab this at the end of the year
I'm usually not a huge fan of remastered games I've already beaten, but these are a must have. Plus, I didn't do all the side missions for Asylum and City, so I'll have plenty of new stuff to do as well. Asylum and City are two of my favorite games ever, and that's coming from a sports-heavy gamer!
Just give me Mass Effect already...
Taylor swift really.is she your ultimate crush wtf.why don't you ask her out haha.but come on man you could do better
Would have considered it if origins was included!
@get2sammyb you have an unhealthy obsession with taysway!
@viciousarcanum Origins should be in there imo such an underrated entry to the series
I can't get rid of the remasters somedays you just can't get rid of the remasters. 💣
Dk if to bother I finnished AA on the 360 and have bought the new one and Arkham City but hardly played either! Wanted to play City but cba with my 360 at all, just a shame origins isn't in this!
I want this just for Arkham Asylum.
Now I just need a Dragon Age Collection and a Mass Effect Trilogy and we're good.
@JaxonH Asylum is the only one of the bunch I actually liked. Concise, to the point, and didn't overdo it. Then City strayed a bit, and screw Riddler, Origins was underwhelming, and Knight was even more underwhelming. I thought they learned from 400 riddler trophies but nope. Every side quest is formatted like that. Repetitive, and dull.
Also, in the words of the PS YouTube channel, I cant wait to Return to Akrham as well.
@viciousarcanum @GlynCR. Rocksteady has gone on to say for the record Arkham Origins is not part of the series canon. It was just a cheap cash in on the series.
With that said this was one of the series I was really hoping would get a remastery on the PS4.
hahaha samy. you should ask her out.ask her if shes single.and maybe she will take you out
I'm definitely going to buy this for my sister. I won't play it myself unless there's significant improvements in Arkham Asylum compared to the original release (and that includes 60 frames per second) as that it the only game in the series I haven't played yet, but can easily pick it up on PC for $5 during the next sale. It would've been nice if Origins was included as well, though. I actually kind of liked that game
I enjoyed the games but no real desire to play again.
@Tasuki
Don't worry, it'll be part of the 'Origins' collection along with Blackgate HD.
Ehhh once is enough for me
I actually think Origins was the best game out of the 3
30$ sure. 70$ no way.
The Arkham game were some of my favorite games of last generation, so I'm happy to see this announced... although, I'll be waiting until it drops a bit lower in price to buy it.
@wiggleronacid I'm with you on that these remasters drop in price fairly quick
Their seeming disdain for Origins bugs me, I really enjoyed it, whereas I got bored with the over-hyped, over-blown, Arkham Kinght not too far into the game before I traded it in.
Have them all already so skipping.
Wake me up when the Shenmue remaster pops up.
Seems a bit disappointing from a graphical standpoint.
These have to be 60fps/1080p right?
Cause I certainly don't see anything measuring up the The Last of Us/Tomb Raider remasters right here.
More like Saints Row and Sleeping Dogs, which is still okay I guess, but certainly not impressive.
@Tasuki and yet, Origins is better than City
