About the game
Located in the outskirts of Gotham City, the infamous Arkham Asylum keeps Batman’s foes who have been declared legally insane under lock and key. Or at least that’s the idea, but whether through the Villain’s cunning or the corruption in the institution, breakouts are far too common, forcing Batman and his allies to take matters into their own hands to keep society safe from this menagerie of deranged bad guys. They’re all crazy here, make sure you don’t become too! This retail core box brings the world’s most infamous rogues’ gallery to DC Super Heroes United. Take the role of members of the Batman Family and face off against each of the worst criminally deranged Villains Gotham City has to offer. Or, for the first time ever, take on the role of these Villains in Breakout Mode, playing as Fugitives trying to escape from Arkham Asylum while Batman acts as the Antagonist doing his best to keep you locked up. This box is chock full of not only amazing characters but incredibly innovative gameplay. Its retail version will be expanded into a core box, but since all backers will already have the DC Super Heroes United core box, this expansion version comes with even more exclusives instead! —description from the publisher
