Power-A Reveals Batarang Xbox 360 And PS3 Controllers
Is the next Batman movie being shot? We're hearing that it is, but a
release definitely isn't imminent. Either way, Power-A has just
announced a new Xbox 360 and PS3 controller design that they're calling
"Batarang." The controller is reportedly being issued to play nice with
Batman: Arkham City this fall, and with E3 happening this week, the
timing couldn't be better.
Both of these are wireless devices, and outside of a funky design and color scheme, they're pretty much standard-fare controlers. The Xbox edition looks more "standard" than the PS3 model, but that seems to always be the case with third-party peripherals. They'll be shipping in mid-October, but no price has been revealed yet.

"POWER A understands the high quality standard that partnering with a legendary brand such as Batman demands," said John Moore, vice president of product development and marketing for POWER A. "We are committed to making the best possible controller to amplify the experience players have with Batman: Arkham City, and the Batarang does just that. It's not just a great Batman collectible, but a high-performance controller worthy of the Batman: Arkham City game."
The Batman: Arkham City Batarang controller will be available at key retailers in conjunction with the game's October 18, 2011 North American release date.
