Batman: Arkham Knight's first gameplay trailer, released today by publisher Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, focuses on the villains who send Gotham into mass panic, and Batman's most iconic piece of kit: the Batmobile.

"What are you doing?" asks a disembodied voice on the radio. "Evening the odds," replies Batman, calling forth the Batmobile into action and leaping into its cockpit. Arkham Knight makes the Batmobile a main gameplay element for the first time in the Arkham franchise, with the player able to drive around Gotham, jump in and out of the Batmobile and use it in vehicular combat. Villains featured in the trailer include Scarecrow, Two-Face and the eponymous Arkham Knight himself.

Batman: Arkham Knight, which is in development at Rocksteady Studios, is set for release later this year on PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One

I think the Arkham Knight is going to be the one Robin who was hated by the fans and came back as Red Hood or whatever. I forget his name though.

This looks beautiful.

^ Jason Todd. That's what everyone else is saying too. I disagree, I feel they would have made him Red Hood had they gone with that. Not only that, but his main goal was to kill Joker and punish Batman for not killing Joker. Joker's dead so Jason Todd wouldn't work anymore. Which I am personally glad about since I never really liked Red Hood. I thought it was a neat story but insanely overrated.

Anyway, amazing trailer. This game needs to come out ASAP. It's gonna be amazing.
