Monday Bat-Links from Around the Web
By Skip Harvey
It’s Monday, Batman fans. Since you successfully made it through the weekend, we at Caped Crusades want to reward you with some quick links to Bat-stories from across the innernette.
Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate HD Edition now 15% off on Steam!
"Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate – Deluxe Edition amplifies the 2.5-D game with new maps, enemy encounters, difficulty levels, batsuits, and enhanced visuals. A companion game to Batman: Arkham Origins, players can continue the storyline of the console version and discover more details of the Dark Knight’s past. Featuring stealth gameplay, free-flow combat, and Batman’s famed arsenal of gadgets, the genuine Arkham experience is reproduced in a deep, action packed side-scrolling adventure."
"I always try my best to honor every character. When you’re dealing with big iconic characters, there’s a lot of fan pressure to get it right, and I respect that and admire that passion enormously. At the same time, you can’t let your creative process be too crowded by that or distracted by it."
Collected Editions has a story about the re-release of the Ed Brubaker classic Batman: Fugitive trade paperback. That’s the book that got me back into comics in 2000. Check it out here.
"consider the Batman: Bruce Wayne: Murderer/Fugitive collections a pretty seminal part of DC Comics trade history. These four total books were something of an experiment in which DC cut-and-pasted the relevant parts of a Batman crossover together (omitting irrelevant individual series stuff), such to make a sort of collage graphic novel."
