October should be a good month for fans of the Batman. In addition to Halloween, ever the perfect excuse to don your finest Bat-ware, the end of the month will also be playing host to the release of Batman: Arkham Origins, the latest game in the ongoing Arkham series. Now, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has unveiled a new special edition version of the game that’s likely to spark the interest of many a fan of the Dark Knight.

The Batman: Arkham Origins Collector’s Edition, in addition to the game itself, will contain a smorgasbord of collectibles and extra content. Fans who buy the Collector’s Edition will find themselves privy to the following goodies:

Exclusive statue of the Joker.

Anarky stencil.
