Get ready for ARKHAM ASYLUM series 2 from DC DIRECT

You've played the game, but why stop there?

Today, we get to unveil the second wave of DC Direct's hyper-detailed ARKHAM ASYLUM figures, based on the bestselling game, which pits the Dark Knight against his deadliest foes -- on the frightening Arkham Island.

With the Joker inciting most of the inmates, Batman faces a riot from a cadre of Gotham's most wanted killers and nutcases.

Based on designs of one of the most critically-acclaimed Superhero games ever, the second wave features POISON IVY, ZSASZ, BATMAN (ARMORED) and BANE. All four figures feature multiple points of articulation and include a display base. Character-appropriate accessories are also included.

Look for these to hit stores in February 2011.

Zsasz returns in the pages of STREETS OF GOTHAM #4

Writer Paul Dini and artist Dustin Nguyen continue to tell tales stories from Batman's city in the latest issue of BATMAN: STREETS OF GOTHAM. And with Batman's recent "Bruce Wayne" issues somewhat contained, Gotham's new Dark Knight must now deal with someone far more frightening -- the frightening psycopath Victor Zsasz.

Meanwhile, in writer Marc Andreyko and artist Jeremy Haun's MANHUNTER co-feature, Kate faces off with Jane Doe, as she tries to determine why the villain offed the last DA. Will Jane flip on her boss the Black Mask? We're not telling. But the pages below might have some clues for you.

BATMAN: STREETS OF GOTHAM #4 hits 9/16.
