Last week Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, WaterTower Music, and DC Entertainment announced the soundtrack for Batman: Arkham City, the highly anticipated follow up to the immensely popular 2009 Batman: Arkham Asylum video game, will be released on October 4, just two weeks before the North American release of the game.

Soundtracks to video games have never really been that common with the exception of a handful of huge franchises, so this was a bit of a surprise for me when I saw the news. And what surprised me even more was the soundtrack description and track listing. In keeping with tradition of Batman soundtracks (1989-1997), the soundtrack to Batman: Arkham City boasts brand new music for a wide variety of artists whose work is either inspired by the game or Batman in general. Music about Batman from established artists? That’s the best possible scenario that can be imagined. But for me, it gets better.
