You've solved every Riddler challenge, collected all of Catwoman's loot, and conquered every challenge map as Robin and Nightwing. So, now what?

Rocksteady isn't quite done doling out DLC for Batman: Arkham City. December 20th marks the next expansion for the Batman simulator, and it appears to be a map pack.

A tweet from over the weekend details the next add-on content. Three challenge maps will be available to download: the Batcave, Joker's Carnival, and the Iceberg Lounge.

Joker's Carnival was previously available as a pre-order bonus at GameStop. You can see the map in action in this promotional trailer:

The Iceberg Lounge was previously available exclusively with the Collector's Edition. You can see the map in action here:

It's unlikely this DLC release will be accompanied by any new achievements/trophies. No pricing info has been announced yet, either. Stay tuned for more.

      I'm actually surprised no one at Shack has addressed the issues that the PC version is abysmally broken. This game sets a new standard for bad console ports, and Shack is tossing out free advertisement for Rocksteady's DLC. Nice.

        It IS a bit porty and slightly buggy (occasional out of memory crash) but it's not abysmally broken, on XP-dx9 anyway. I've sunk a ton of hours in since I got it a few days ago. I'm glad the game came out on PC, and shack's just doing it's job by keeping us posted on the DLC.

        Works perfect for me. Sucks to be you I guess.

          DX11 is *incredibly* broken.

            why did they launch it like that? crysis 2 just console ported, and then patched in DX11 (sorta) later on.

        DX11 for me no good. Everything else is flawless.

        Having one broken feature that is mostly just to enhance the graphics, and calling the game abysmally broken and setting new standards is a huge stretch.

      PC will get it 5 weeks later and it won't work.

      I think I'll hold off for the inevitable Gold/GOTY edition.
