Pictures and Final Details of Batman Arkham Asylum.

I’ve been reading a lot of SpeedHunter’s lately, also Kotaku has quickly become my favorite resource for gaming news. I really like the photo-blog style of Speed Hunters and the down to earth commentary on Kotaku. With that in mind I decided to add a little more flare here and there to the photos for this release and I’ve added a bit of personal commentary.
I’d appreciate some feedback as to whether this is something you’d like to see more of in the future or if you’d prefer the more no-nonsense approach that I’ve taken in the past.

A Guide To Recognizing Your SteelBooks
January 21st, 2009 TwistedsymphonyOk so Maybe the title is misleading but I couldn’t help myself. First Look Studios apparently really liked what I did with the last SteelBook pre-release they sent me, Sukiyaki Western Django, and decided that they’d like to send me another.
This time around I received a Limited Edition SteelBook for a movie called A Guide To Recognizing Your Saints. To be perfectly honest I had never heard of this film and after the initial confusion over the name wore off a brief glance at the cover led me to believe that this looks like quite the interesting film. It took home some Awards from the Sundance Film Festival (always a good sign in my book) and it stars some well known talent too, Robert Downey Jr. being the most prominent name on the list (and the cover art).
Of course I haven’t actually had a chance to WATCH this film yet (I’ll be sure to check back in here once I do) so in the mean time lets take a closer look at the case.
Both the front and back covers make good use of bare metal, sometimes this kind of thing works and sometimes it doesn’t, but here I think it really works fantastically. The front cover really had an interesting mix of bare and colored areas that give the cover as a whole a very rugged and raw feel. The back cover design utilizes the bare metal in a different way; it juxtaposes an image from the movie against a back drop of bare metal, combine with the angle of the shot gives it a real 3D quality despite being completely flat.
On the inside we’re treated to one of my favorites features of most SteelBooks and that is the almost panoramic scene that stretches across the inside of the case. It’s like an Easter egg in your case as it’s usually hidden behind the disc and booklet. The inside of this case features another shot from the film in a cepia tone to mach the front cover.
Perhaps the most interesting quality of this particular case design is the film title on the front of the case. I attempted to capture it in this last shot but really the way it’s designed it has to be seen with two eyes as opposed to the single eye of a camera. The title is embossed into the case and the way they’ve utilized the reflective properties of the metal against the dull wash of the surrounding images it looks almost like the text is floating above the surface of the case. I’ve probably stared at this cover for far longer than is healthy but it’s really an interesting effect and certainly something I haven’t seen accomplished (albeit possibly attempted) on a SteelBook before.
Case aside I’d like to applaud First Look Studios for giving the Limited Edition SteelBook treatment to yet another indy film. As someone who tends to appreciate films with vision and good writing over the latest big budget explosion-polloza I find it heart warming that films with attention to detail in their content are receiving attention to detail in their packaging as well.
This SteelBook is slated for release on February 3rd at a price of $14.98. Judging by the case design alone it would make a welcome edition to any SteelBook collection.
