Justice is coming, and it's apparently saving space for next summer.    

WB Games has confirmed a release date for the final chapter in Rocksteady Games' Arkham series, Batman: Arkham Knight. The game will make its debut on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC on June 2, 2015. And, yes, that's worldwide.

In addition, two special editions of the game have been announced, and will release on the same day.

The Limited Edition of Arkham Knight will run you $99.99 and comes with a custom art book, a limited edition Steelbook case, a limited edition DC Comics Batman: Arkham Knight #0 Comic Book, an exclusive New 52 character skins pack, and a Batman memorial statue, featuring Gotham's protector, the Dark Knight, in a crime-fighting pose.

Those of you who want to go the extra mile can invest in the Batmobile edition for $199.99, which comes with all those goods, but replaces the Batman statue with a fully transformable Batmobile statue, recreated in exquisite detail by TriForce. We've included a picture of the pack below, so you know what you're getting.

Expect more coverage on Arkham Knight in the months ahead.

      I missed out on the Arkham City statue so I'm not gonna miss out on the Batmobile. Hope the PC version comes with the Batmobile.

        That Batmobile looks fucking sick. I wish I could justify the purchase.

          It's a great blend of comic/TAS classic look with the modern tactical/military look from Nolan's Tumbler.

      So far away. :(

      Will probably nerd out and get the statue again like I did with Arkham City. :)

      That really sucks. This was the next big title on the horizon for me after Dragon Age: Inquisition.

      I'm skeptical after Origins. I liked the first, loved the 2nd, but Origins was the exact same game. I bought it on the steam sale for $10 and still feel ripped off :(

        Different dev did Origins. And I didn't feel ripped off at all, even if it didn't bring much new.

        DUDE That other Batman "game" was handled by Warner Bros. Games Montréal so throw your skepticism to the curb because we are going to get the third Arkham game we deserve!!!! I don't acknowledge the existence of that other imposter "game."

      That's a long way away, but they've done a great job so far.
