There's been a lot of talk recently about collector's editions, but it seems that the $200 Batmobile Collector's Edition has been cancelled at the last minute

Dear Batman: Arkham Fans,

We regret to inform you that we are not able to release the Batmobile Collector’s Edition of Batman: Arkham Knight due to unforeseen circumstances that greatly compromised the quality of this extremely limited run of product. We are deeply apologetic for this unfortunate outcome. If you did pre-order the Batmobile Collector’s Edition, please go to the retail location where you pre-ordered the product and you will receive a full refund of your deposit or it can be rolled over to another Batman: Arkham Knight edition or another product of your choice. We will be providing everyone who purchases Batman: Arkham Knight with the New 52 skin pack, including Batman, Robin and Nightwing, free of charge.

Kotaku

For anyone who ordered the Batmobile edition, have you gotten a cancellation notice?

In other Pre-order news, WB has announced the "exclusive" pre order content will be released later

Second, as I know many people have been asking about the details and content of Season Pass and if or when people will get the content. I hope the following makes things clear:

Throughout the 6 months of additional Batman: Arkham Knight content, Premium and Season Pass owners will receive all in-game content that is offered through various retail pre-order incentives. This includes the Harley Quinn and Red Hood Story Packs, as well as any Batmobile or Booster Pack that was available as early bonuses for pre-order of the game. For those who did not receive the content with their game, these items will become available when their respective exclusivity windows expire in August/September.

I wasn't planning on keeping mine anyway and Amazon gave me $20 as compensation. It's a win-win for me.

That sucks because that Batmobile looked pretty tight. I never got a chance to order it, but I never planned to anyway. Still it looked awesome and it's a shame that a lot of people are going to be disappointed about the cancellation.

I was at Gamestop today to preorder the LCE of Halo 5 and their preorder list showed the Batmobile Edition was still available. I tried to preorder it and the associate (a cool guy and great employee for GS) told me that it was no longer available. I was planning on passing on the game all together so this is no big loss. But that sucks for everyone expecting to pick it up next week.

I'm bummed as I had it reserved...but I also had the other limited edition reserved as well. This makes my choice easier...

Always look on the bright side of life *whistles*

Wha....? How.....?

Less than a week before release? Damn, I had two fully paid off, both to resell to suckers too slow on the trigger. Eat it haters. Possibly to open one for display, but I'm playing this on the PC anyway. So a minus and a plus: no Batmobile and no taking advantage of slowpokes, but then again, a huge influx of cash ($416) I'd written off. Perhaps I'll pick up a regular edition for all the DLC.

Too bad, so sad. I'm surprised this wasn't seen until less than a week away though. Someone's head's going to roll.

Feel sorry for those who had it pre-ordered for ages... especially so close to release.

I wonder why this announcement was so close to release? At this point, manufacturing would've been far along, shipments and allocations would be in process, and stores would more than likely begin receiving stock.

I can't help but feel that WB knew long ago something was not working but refused to come out sooner for fear of negative word of mouth that would've had time to build and otherwise possibly hurt sales more than if it announced mere days beforehand, only to be soon forgotten in the furor of the game's release and reviews (not to mention E3). The timing is a bit too convenient and abrupt for this not to have been foreseen a while ago.
