Batman: Return to Arkham comparison shots reveal better textures, lighting

Everything looks sharper and cleaner in the up-resed Return to Arkham.

Warner Bros. officially announced the Return to Arkham collection yesterday. As multiple leaks suggested, this bundle includes Arkham Asylum and Arkham City.

Both games have been remastered using Unreal Engine 4, and the bump in texture resolution and asset quality really shows when you put the two side-by-side. Though the upgrade still isn't massive overall, everything does look better.
