We are one year after the explosive events at Arkham Asylum that shook Gotham City. The correctional facilities Arkham Asylum and Blackgate Prison have closed. Quincy Sharp, former director of the asylum, takes credit that Batman would have earned for defeating the Joker and runs for Mayor.

After being elected, Sharp constructs a walled-off district in an area of the city's slums and names it Arkham City. It is a prison where inmates move freely under the watchful eyes of armed security forces and an enigmatic character: Dr. Hugo Strange. In Arkham City, the most ruthless criminals reign, while the weak hide in their desperate daily struggle to survive.

When Two-Face and his thugs imprison Catwoman, Batman has no choice but to infiltrate Arkham City to save the petite thief from the clutches of Gotham's former white knight. Wear Batman's fully equipped belt, grab the wireless controller, and get ready for one of the most thrilling adventures of 2011 for PlayStation 3.

In Batman: Arkham City, alongside the main campaign mode, there are various missions that you can play as Catwoman, which you activate with the special coupon code included in the game's packaging. Since Catwoman is a character diametrically opposed to Batman, it will take you some time to get used to her whip, speed, and vicious scratches.

In the numerous side missions you are called to complete, you will find yourself rescuing politicians who have fallen into the hands of mobsters, facing the hundreds of challenges from the Riddler, and answering calls in phone booths where you will be asked to take on smaller but equally enjoyable missions, some of which will co-star the psychopath Victor Zsasz. Additionally, in these side missions, you will encounter familiar faces from the Batman universe, such as the dreadful Bane from Arkham Asylum and the ruthless assassin Deadshot.
