Rocksteady announced the Arkham Trilogy's port at the June Nintendo Direct, showcasing the collection with a montage of footage that showed the series' best and baddest villains including the Joker, Two Face, and more.

All three games were received very well, with Arkham Asylum setting a new precedent for superhero games. "Batman: Arkham Asylum is the greatest comic book videogame of all time," IGN said in our 9/10 review.

It's sequel earned a 9/10 too, as IGN said: "Batman: Arkham City isn't just better than Batman: Arkham Asylum, it's better than most games on the market." The final game received the same score: "Batman: Arkham Knight is an impressive game on almost every level, with non-stop variety and great action."
