That's both strange and/or worrisome. So two questions:
1. Has anyone else played Arkham City on a rMBP without issue?
2. Is the issue limited to arkham city, or do games in general crash under the rMBP's bootcamp?
Anandtech was able to run Starcraft 2 and Half-Life 2 benchmarks without issue, so this seems (at least to me) like more of an Arkham City issue.

Apparently it does work.
Still, you have to wonder exactly what they did to make the game crash.
Unfortunately, ridiculously high benchmark scores don’t translate into excellent gaming experiences. In fact, we weren’t able to get “Batman: Arkham City” to run at all on the MacBook Pro running Boot Camp. The game looked good, for the brief time that we were able to run it. Running “Arkham City” at 1366 x 768 pixels and Low graphics settings, the built-in benchmark averaged 115 frames per second until the game crashed 30 seconds in.
Like most other non-gaming laptops, the MacBook Pro struggled to run “Arkham City” with its graphics at its near-maximum; after setting the resolution to 2880 x 1800 and graphics to Very High, the benchmark averaged only 13 fps and crashed after 52 seconds. Actually playing “Arkham City” proved impossible — the game crashed shortly after launching a new game, every time.
