TheGotham KnightsCollector’s Edition is reportedly priced at $299.99, and while that may seem like an abundantly expensive price point, there are a lot of extras for fans to get their hands on.

There’s also a New Guard statue, which shows off all four ofGotham Knight’splayable characters.
There are also some Promethium Transmogs for the characters in-game, alongside an Augmented Reality Key, a collectible map, and a Jim Lee certificate of authenticity. Gamers on Twitter weren’t exactly happy with the price point for the Collector’s Edition, with one fan stating that they’d hope Batman would deliver the game to their door for that amount.
