Batman: Arkham Knight - New Villain Announced, plus New Pics & Info, and an Interview with Rocksteady

Rocksteady announced an original character, the Arkham Knight.

More info has emerged for the upcoming Batman game, and Rocksteady will be introducing a new adversary called the Arkham Knight, created specifically for this game. Not much is known so let the speculation begin on whether it is a brand new character, or a previously known character in disguise.

For more info on the game, check out this great interview with Dax Ginn from Rocksteady.

The new game sounds huge. I really hope navigating Gotham with the Batmobile feels as satisfying as it looks in other media. I'm really liking the look of the new character as well. He looks like he might be a good match for the Batman universe.

And now for some awesome new pics!

Rocksteady promises the biggest Arkham game yet.

The Batmobile looks very similar to the Tumbler from the Nolan films.

Did I remember to turn the stove off?

The Arkham Knight in action!

What little has been shown definitely has me excited. I like the Tumbler-like design for the Batmobile, which will be the primary method of transportation around Gotham City. I'm sure that also means plenty of side missions to keep us busy while we tackle the main story. Can't wait to see more.

Batman: Arkham Knight is scheduled to release later this year for the PC, Xbox One, and PS4.
