Like DLC and then in-game purchases, the Season Pass has become a release must-have for publishers, and Batman: Arkham Knight is being slapped with the same buy-in system. Warner Bros has also revealed details on a 'premium edition'.

You can pre-order both now. The season pass is some AUD$59.95 while the premium edition of the game which comes with a season pass is slated to drop at AUD$159.90 for console and AUD$139.90 for PC.

The Batman™: Arkham Knight Season Pass will deliver regular new content for six months post-launch including new story missions, additional super-villains invading Gotham City, legendary Batmobile skins, advanced challenge maps, alternative character skins, and new drivable race tracks.

The Batman™: Arkham Knight Premium Edition includes the main game and the Season Pass.

There's no other word on whether or not the PE comes with any collectables, art books or the like, but there's a good chance there's still a special edition yet to be announced. Which really leaves the only separation between buying the game and season pass individually a point of money -- fork out a wad of cash now and you're set for content later or, wait and see if the content is actually what you want or worth the extra $60.

I'll let you guys and girls talk it over in the Comments.
