Free Batman: Arkham Asylum maps arriving on Thursday photo

Remember that free Batman: Arkham Asylum downloadable content we've been hearing about for quite a while now? We finally know what the content actually is! 'Bout time, right?

Coming to PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC on September 17 are two new maps. There's the "Totally Insane" FreeFlow Combat map and, what else, an Invisible Predator map called "Nocturnal Hunter."

The press release wasn't super clear on what the maps will look like location-wise, but instead described in great detail what the Combat and Invisible Predator maps are like in general. Helpful, I know.

Arkham Asylum has got me hooked, and with this DLC weighing in at the price of free, it's hard not to be excited for more.

Free is awesome. I'm still happily trudging my way through the game.

Hang on.

Free DLC for 360?

Left 4 Dead ring any bells? WTF is going on?

@XV1 The survival add-on was technically DLC from Microsoft's standpoint. It wasn't an "update". So MS gave Valve one free DLC and I imagine weren't een on doing to multiple times.

This is free because they're already getting hurt on the ps3-exclusive joker, I'd imagine.

This is awesome, but I'm dreading the lash out when they do a bigger dlc that they'll charge for.

Wait, hold on CrazyApe69: are you actually complaining about TWO FREE ADD-ONS to an already great game? Are you mad, man? It's FREE.

Let me repeat that for you: TWO FREE ADD-ONS.

FREE.

Valve: "Okay. We actually wanted to make money. We haven't released a game in a year. We're all slowly eating Gabe. He hasn't noticed yet."

the dlc is free on the Ps3 so microsoft is forced to make it free on their system too.

there is no l4d on the ps3, so nothing stops them from charging for its DLC.

"there is no l4d on the ps3"

Exactly. So people who have a 360 should be happy that they have the game, and if they don't like the DLC just don't buy it and STFU.

I like this idea of free DLC.

I'm confused as to how this is free, but the L4D map isn't...?

Free? What?! For DLC? This is an outrage! I refuse not to pay...

Left 4 Dead already received free DLC. Hell, even Halo 3 has received free DLC at one point. My point is, if it happens once, don't count on it happening again. I'm sure there will be paid DLC for Arkham in the future.

WAIT.

Something free for XBL? And it's more than just one map? Woah.

L4D and Halo 3 got free content, sure, but that content was really only limited to one new map each (Survival Mode, too).

Can't believe nobody charged for this.

Sounds good. Hell, free costumes would be awesome, but two full maps? I feel spoiled.

(Not really but it's still really nice)

Ok, now the question of the achievement whore: Will the stars related with these two challenge maps count forward the existing achievements?

I don't pay for DLC maps on principle (except all fronts GoW2), so this is great news.
