Ah, my mistake, for some reason I thought you were talking about the game. I was wondering why you mentioned shipping, yet I still didn’t figure it out…
You can get it now for $19.99 from BundleStars with all the DLCs (which I bet is what I paid, I think my above post where I say I got for $15 was a mistake)

If you’ve already got the base game (like me), Wingamestore has the season pass with all DLC for $9.99.
BTW, still enjoying the game. I’ve mostly eliminated the minor stuttering with a few more settings changes (the results of which I cannot notice, which is good), but I still get the occasional crash, usually while tearing around the city in the batmobile. I assume it’s having trouble keeping up the loading & rendering all the city sights as I’m driving like a, well, you know.
It’s not stable if you’re in the Batmobile and using a GPU with 2 gigs of RAM or less, unfortunately.
I’m old enough that occasional game crashes are something I got used to a long time ago. At least I’m not editing CONFIG.SYS to get the game to work.
BTW, do you happen to know if stability is better/worse/unknown on Windows 10 vs 8.1? I’ve been putting off upgrading to 10 forever, now that the deadline is coming up I’m wondering if I should skip it completely to avoid breaking the game.
The issue appears to be VRAM related, so I don’t think going to windows 10 would help you. Mind you, windows 10 is great and you should upgrade anyway 
The game has issues properly allocating and utilizing vRAM, so the more you have of it, the more you can turn up settings, and the more stable it will be. I think 4 GB was found to be best. My old 780ti with 3GB also ran fine, but only if I lowered texture quality down a notch or two.
Thank you. I don’t care if it’s not any better, or even just slightly worse - just want to make sure it doesn’t break the game completely. I’ve got 8 GB of system RAM (not 16 as I mistakenly posted before), and I found a few articles saying it needs 12 GB on Windows 10.
Huh, not sure about that.
I know it runs perfectly for me in windows 10 on both my 780ti and my new 1070, but I have 16 gigs of RAM.
BTW, if you get the season pass and download the DLC, it’s very existence gives away a huge spoiler.
Arkham Knight with the Season Pass is $16 from Play Asia right now. Global Steam key, works fine.
So I did wind up upgrading to Windows 10. Crashing isn’t any worse, but it definitely pauses & stutters more when driving around in the batmobile.
I don’t even understand why that happens.
One might think it’s an exacerbation of the texture/LOD streaming as you move around int he batmobile, but I don’t think the batmobile is that much faster than grappling and flying around, is it? Haven’t played the game in a while, but performance is much better while grappling and flying vs the damned batmobile.
I don’t get it either. There are articles that say WB recommends 12 GB of ram for Windows 10 to prevent paging, but according to task manager my 8 GB system never goes below 2 GB free while I’m playing.
FWIW, upgrading to 12 MB RAM improved but did not eliminate the stuttering while driving. It happens mostly in the first 4 or 5 seconds after I get in the batmobile.
Back to the initial thread question - the game is definitely worth the $15 I paid for it, especially if you’re already an Arkham fan. Jury is still out on the DLC for another $10 - so far the extra episode missions haven’t been impressive - the two I’ve played were essentially just showcases of different characters combat styles, with no real story. But I did finally get to play as Adam West Batman, which is outstanding.
