I can't believe this is the actual box art. WORST COVER EVER.

this is still the worst imo
Speaking of that, anyone has that gif which is an endless spiral of that box art? That had me in stitches back in the day.

I like this. Now change the blood on his wrist to Heinz® Tomato Ketchup, which he just applied from a fresh bottle. To his wrist.

...yes this needs it's own thread.
What could possibly make it better?
Change the "Batman" logo in the background to an IGN watermark.

lol I just realized that MegaMan 3 has him staring and shooting directly at the robots crotch.

Just letting everyone know how bad it is, rather thoughtful of them really.

this is truly the ugliest thing in this thread
Actually from a design standpoint it isn't that bad. It utilizes the red in the artwork for the text and the type is actually worked into the artwork rather than just slapped on where it would fit. The use of the tear to show the bonus content is also pretty well done. In other words, the artist did the best he/she could do with what was handed to him/her. I've had enough "Hovering art director" moments and "the client wants this" situations to see that this designer probably gave it a shot.
I wouldn't have used the Batman logo twice personally.

Speaking of Arkham City, did anyone who was missing materials in the 360 collector's edition actually receive replacement materials? I received an email from WB Support stating that they'd mail me a copy of Gotham Knights on Blu-ray as well as cards of some sort, but they never actually arrived and every subsequent email to their support address has been met with silence.

I would honestly NOT buy the game just because of that, it's fucking horrible...
YOU have the WHOLE back of the box to fill of crap, don't do it in the front.

Holy fuck. It's like they found someone that does promo flyers for douchey night-clubs and made them in charge of the game's cover.
10 out of 10
...yes this needs it's own thread.
Weird I never heard of that game, but the Batman magazine seems to like it

Hey now, Verbal is not ugly. Just look at that smile.

They actually made it uglier than the Arkham Asylum GOTY cover.
These box covers are some shit i don't LIKE.
So if the game is good (which it is), you wouldn't buy it or play it because of a printed sleeve that you'll see maybe half a dozen times in your life?
I'm not a collector or someone who gives a second thought to packaging since it ends up in the recycling bin anyway, so I'm not understanding the outrage.

omg, that poor graphic designer, i know exactly how this kind of shit happens....
here is the word doc of all the shit our marketing department wants to be on the box, and oh the 10 out of 10 should be in font size 10,000, everyone and their grandma needs to see it!

I can't even tell what the thing in front is. Is it his right arm and he's wiping off his face? If so his hand's bigger than his head.
Don't do it in the front, do it in the back. Story of my life

This is one of the very rare few times where an internet claimed BEST/WORST EVER has actually delivered on the promise.

Looks like Batman is getting clobbered by all those bursts.

But I wonder if someone would see that on display at a store and make the same judgment and thus a sale is lost.

That's not even 1/10 as bad.

This phrase has to be stopped. I mean seriously, why does everyone in the world have to say this exact same thing over and over again and expect it to still be funny?
Oh and that is one horrible boxart

You know how bad they fucked up when this looks good in comparison.

Thank god I own this:
Have no desire for challenge maps, and I'll just separately buy the Harley DLC by itself.
