Adam writes: Late last week GameStop announced a special bonus for those who preorder the upcoming Batman: Arkham Asylum at their stores, the bonus being exclusive Scarecrow Challenge Maps. But what's even better than that is how f#%king awesome the Scarecrow looks. The hypodermic needles on each of his fingers definitely reminds me of a certain baddy that tends to haunt children's dreams.
