PC version of Batman: Arkham City release date confirmed

Finally! This is what I've been waiting for-- the actual release of Batman: Arkham City for PC.

"After weeks of speculation and a couple of false starts, Warner Bros. Interactive finally sets a solid date for the PC edition of ‘Batman: Arkham City."

Warner Bros stated that the release date of PC version Batman: Arkham City is November, 22. 2011 in North America and November, 25 in Europe. But the bad news is that the release date in Asia is not yet announced. I hope that they will release it here someday.

About the DLC there no word yet on it, as stated by this article.

"There has yet to be any word on when Arkham City’s many DLC packs (Joker’s Carnival,Nightwing, etc) will see release on the PC, nor any news of when the OnLive version of the game will see release (though we expect it will launch alongside the PC game). Nevertheless, PC gamers have a lot be excited about. Batman’s latest adventure is one of the best-reviewed games so far this year (you have read Game Rant’s Batman: Arkham City review, right?), and has already snagged a Game of the Year nomination from Spike TV’s VideoGame Awards."
