It’s a big day for the caped crusader.
With Warner Bros. revealing the official title, logo and new details for the upcoming Batman vs. Superman movie, we now get our first glimpse of the the caped crusader in virtual form for the fourth and final installment of Rocksteady‘s highly-acclaimed Batman video game series, Batman: Arkham Knight. This will mark Batman’s debut in next-gen graphics as Arkham Knight will premiere exclusively on the Playstation 4, Xbox One and PC — and he’s never looked better.
Batman: Arkham Knight takes place a year following Batman: Arkham City with the Dark Knight coming to grips with the apparent death of his long time arch-nemesis The Joker. Scarecrow is now in control of Gotham City with his voice threatening the civilians to “abandon the city, or I will unleash your greatest fears” using his newly concocted scare toxins. Two-Face, Penguin and Harley Quinn all seek to combine efforts to kill Dark Knight once and for all with a new mystery villain “Arkham Knight” joining the cause as well. Luckily for Batman, he’s not alone this time.
The Batmobile will act as a sidekick to Batman and be a focal point of Batman: Arkham Knight’s gameplay. Not only will it be drivable but, Batman will have the ability to summon it to his location to provide cover fire and protection. Yes, we all were hoping for Robin or Nightwing to finally be added as a playable character in the storyline, but the gameplay trailer proves Batman and the Batmobile are perfect dynamic duo.
Check out the “Evening the Odds” gameplay trailer below and get your copy of Batman: Arkham Knight for the Playstation 4, Xbox One and PC when it drops on October 14th.
