He's teamed up with the enigmatic Arkham Knight, who seems to have rather intimate knowledge of the Dark Knight. Without spoiling much, series villain Scarecrow has threatened to unleash a dreaded fear-causing toxin across Gotham City. You'll quickly find yourself gliding across the morbid, dystopian cityscape of Gotham, swinging from one building to the next with consummate ease. It's a welcome change, putting the focus on the game's slick traversal and combat. In fact, Arkham Knight gets you into Batman's cowl and cape in an exceedingly quick fashion, with much less exposition before you start compared to earlier games in the series. While even casual fans of the series will know all those names, you don't need to know much DC lore to get into the game. And if you ponied up for the pre-order downloadable content (DLC), then you'll also play as Joker's partner in crime, Harley Quinn. It again has you in the role of the caped crusader, with occasional jaunts as one of his many allies, including Catwoman, Robin, and Nightwing.
