Wow, I didn't know that Eidos has licenses to that many Batman comics. This could turn out to be really cool if they reference and combine those.

Cory, I imagine you will be picking this up for the 360? For those of you who don't have 360s or PS3s yet, I suggest taking a look at this Stacker 2 contest going on where you can win the system of your choice, a year's supply of 6 Hour Power energy shots, a copy of Rise of the Argonauts, and more. All you need to do is design a 6 Hour Power t-shirt. If you're interested, check out the contest details here: http://www.brickfish.com/Entertainment/Stacker2?tab=overview

By the way, I hope I'm not overstepping my bounds by commenting on your blog. I work with them so if you have any questions just let me know. Definitely send me an e-mail if you enter as I'll vote for your designs. Good luck.
