This game is out on 6/23/2015.

Editor's Note*

I'm glad it's Rocksteady back in the controls for this 1.  The cast of characters look dope.  I wish there was a 2 player concept where we could run around as Batman & Robin in a co-op.  This trailer kinda teases something like that, but I haven't heard anything definitive.  I'll still be on this new Batman when it drops. 

Rocksteady is back & they are bringing the M!

I can only imagince Batman gonna be railing fools left & right!

The first of 3 new gameplay videos, now with actual gameplay.

So this is what Rocksteady's been doing for the last 3 years? Looks pretty amazing. Coming in June 2015!

From the youtube description:

ACE Chemicals Part 1: Infiltration the first of three new gameplay videos from Batman™: Arkham Knight. All feature Batman learning about his new foe--- the Arkham Knight---as he enters ACE Chemicals. The video highlights new game features including the new “Fear Takedown” maneuver, as well as the seamless integration of the Batmobile into gameplay and Combat Mode.

Watch as Batman takes on Arkham Knight’s henchmen to rescue the remaining ACE Chemicals plant workers and stop Arkham Knight from executing The Scarecrow’s plans.

A new trailer showing the offensive capabilities of the batmobile. Also the game has been delayed to 2015.

Wait, what? Didn't we just learn of this game a couple of months ago and get a release date? Slipping already? Damn.

Also, don't expect to see any of the actual game mode in this video. It's just a teaser. I wouldn't even have posted it if it hadn't contained release date news. See you in 2015.

Don't expect too much gameplay in your gameplay videos these days...

Cool video, would've liked to see some acutal gameplay in a video with "gameplay" in the title though.

Gameinformer reveals their April cover, and we finally know what Rocksteady's been up to for the last couple of years.

Another Arkham game? Yup. But this time Rocksteady's back... also, drivable Batmobile. Oh, and did I mention, no last gen support... PC, PS4, and Xbox One only.

Check out the cover art:

In the explosive finale to the Arkham series, Batman faces the ultimate threat against the city he is sworn to protect. The Scarecrow returns to unite an impressive roster of super villains, including Penguin, Two-Face and Harley Quinn, to destroy The Dark Knight forever.

Batman: Arkham Knight introduces Rocksteady's uniquely designed version of the Batmobile, which is drivable for the first time in the franchise. The addition of this legendary vehicle, combined with the acclaimed gameplay of the Batman Arkham series, offers gamers the ultimate and complete Batman experience as they tear through the streets and soar across the skyline of the entirety of Gotham City.

Be The Batman.

And another surprise... It's due out this year. There's a trailer up too... it's just CG, no actual game play. It does show the roster of villians and the Batmobile though, and pre-order bonus of playing as Harley Quinn (in the challange maps).
