Batman: Arkham City has a new "Calendar Man" Easter Egg discovered

Over three years have passed, and Batman: Arkham City remains one of most memorable if not THE BEST Batman game ever created. Developer Rocksteady Studios broke new ground with their 2011 sequel to Batman: Arkham Asylum, and allowed players to truly immerse themselves in Batman's world as he explored and interacted with a cornered off portion of Gotham City that became the new correctional facility for the criminally insane, which was headed and overseen by the manipulative Doctor Hugo Strange.

Now, it seems that more surprises still come from this critically acclaimed title, as a fan has discovered a BRAND NEW EASTER EGG that is associated with the date and holiday obsessed villain known as Julian Day, aka the "Calendar Man". Players could visit his cell during the midst of playing Arkham City, and if timed with a corresponding holiday in the calendar, he would tell one of his "grim stories" to The Dark Knight associated with the date itself.

Behold, via the official Batman Arkham Facebook page Calendar Man's new "Secret Message", and learn how the people who found it discover that it ties to, strangely enough, Rocksteady itself!

Batman: Arkham City is currently available for the PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U, PC, and Mac OSX!

Batman: Arkham City turns Three Years

It's hard to imagine one of the most critically acclaimed games in Batman history is already three years old... And it still has so many memorable moments that it deserves every kind of praise and nostalgic nod it gets just because it's that damn good to play and replay any chance you get.

Turning the big three this weekend, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, DC Entertainment, and Rocksteady Studios sophomore video game entry in Batman: Arkham City celebrates it's third year as a certified classic, as anticipation for the next game in the Batman Arkham series builds for next year's release in Batman: Arkham Knight for next generation consoles. As the sequel that dared to go beyond Arkham Asylum and into uncharted territory within Gotham City, Arkham City was the proverbial "middle ground" to explore when it came to testing Batman's ability to fight against some of his notorious enemies within the confines of a brand new institution for the criminally insane and dangerous, which was being controlled by one Dr. Hugo Strange. There's more going on behind-the-scenes however, as The Dark Knight's greatest enemy in The Joker planned to strike back at his archnemesis and achieve his greatest revenge for the current mess The Clown Prince of Crime is in after the events of Arkham Asylum.

If you own a PC, Playstation 3, Xbox 360, or any gaming device carrying this title, Batman: Arkham City is definitely worth playing if you're a big Batman fan and want to experience what it's like to play and be the Batman. Chalk full of action, mystery, suspense, and the kind of references that would make any Batfan giddy, it's a true testament to the Caped Crusader's legacy, and something that will please Batman: The Animated Series fans especially, as Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill reprise their epic roles as Batman and The Joker respectively. If you want a good Batman game to play for the character's 75th Anniversary, look no further than this.
