Batman fans in Sydney and Melbourne will be doubly spoiled tomorrow, 24 June, for not only is the final chapter in Rocksteady Studios' Batman trilogy of video games, Arkham Knight, being released, but local gelato-slingers N2 Extreme Gelato are getting on board with a series of Bat-inspired flavours for the day at their stores across the two cities.
Taking place at outlets in the Sydney and Melbourne CBDs as well as Newtown and Fitzroy, the promotion will kick off at 5pm and include three special-edition flavours: The Batmobile (chocolate), Scarecrow (um… straw?) and The Riddler (...green. Green flavour). And you won't even have to turn to crime to get amongst it, because the goodies are free, as long as you stick to the "one per customer" rule.
Sounds like a pretty good deal to us — even if the choice of chocolate for Batman's flavour is questionable, 'coz we all know how he feels about chocolate.
