The full list for this collection includes:Batman: Arkham Asylum: The Road to ArkhamBatman: Arkham City #1-5Batman: Arkham City: End Game #1Batman: Arkham Knight #1-12Batman: Arkham Knight Annual #1Batman: Arkham Knight: Batgirl & Harley Quinn #1Batman: Arkham Knight Genesis #1-6Batman: Arkham Knight: Robin Special #1Batman: Arkham Origins SpecialBatman: Arkham UnhingedThese are all great mini-series and one-shots featuring several of DC's best creators at the helm, and Batman: Arkham Unhinged is notable for being a digital-first series that has been added to this collection. While it was later reprinted in traditional comic book form, it is nice to have it included with the other series in this omnibus. Another cool thing about this hardcover is that the Arkham City series was illustrated by Carlos D'Anda, who worked with Rocksteady to create several unique redesigns for Batman and his rogues gallery in the Arkham games.It's worth checking out how these games came together, and there is a superb book detailing all this work, although it is pricey because it's out of print.

Absolute Batman: Arkham Asylum released in August and is available for 25% off at Amazon. Frank Miller's The Dark Knight: The Master Race also received the Absolute Batman treatment this month, and you can save on that hardcover, too.The premium Absolute Batman hardcover series is awesome, but it's not the only series where classic Batman stories are being reissued.
