About this game
Batman: Arkham Asylum is a third-person action game set in Gotham City’s infamous psychiatric facility for criminals, Arkham Asylum.
The story begins with Batman escorting the Joker back to the institution after his latest capture, only for the Clown Prince of Crime to escape and orchestrate a takeover of the asylum with the help of its inmates.

Trapped inside, Batman must restore order, stop the Joker’s plans, and face some of his most dangerous adversaries, including Harley Quinn, Killer Croc, Poison Ivy, and Scarecrow.
Gameplay blends exploration, stealth, detective work, and free-flowing combat.
Players guide Batman across the asylum’s interconnected areas - ranging from cell blocks and medical wings to underground caverns - using acrobatics, gadgets, and detective skills to progress.
Combat is based on a rhythmic counter-and-strike system, encouraging fluid chains of attacks against multiple enemies at once.
Stealth segments allow Batman to stalk guards from the shadows, using vents, gargoyles, and line-of-sight tricks to silently eliminate threats.
Detective vision highlights objects of interest, interactive clues, and enemy awareness, helping players plan their approach.
Progression comes through an upgrade system, where experience earned in combat or exploration can unlock new moves, increased health, or enhanced gadget capabilities.
Batman’s arsenal includes staples like the grappling hook, Batarangs, explosive gel, and zipline, each of which expands traversal and puzzle-solving options.
The asylum itself is packed with secrets, including 240 "riddles" (hidden trophies and challenges) left behind by the Riddler, environmental puzzles, and lore entries that expand Gotham’s backstory.
Bonus modes outside the story campaign provide timed combat and stealth challenges for players to master.
About PC
PC gaming spans over four decades, from early DOS titles to today's massive Steam and digital-storefront libraries. Because "PC" covers everything from 1990s CD-ROM releases to current AAA titles, it's the single largest platform by game count on Gamevaro. For collectors, PC gaming splits into two very different worlds: physical big-box releases from the 1990s and 2000s (increasingly collectible, especially complete-in-box with original manuals and inserts) and the modern digital library, which Gamevaro tracks for portfolio and spending purposes even though it has no resale market.
Gamevaro tracks Batman: Arkham Asylum for PC with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Batman: Arkham Asylum to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PC release dates back to 2009.

Rarity & condition
No market sales have been tracked yet for Batman: Arkham Asylum — this could mean it rarely changes hands, or simply that Gamevaro hasn't recorded a sale for it yet. Be the first to add it to your collection.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
