Batman Sucker Punched Me

Last week, Rocksteady released a cinematic teaser trailer for the new Batman video game Arkham Knight, which seemed to come out of the blue. I knew (or at least I thought I knew) that the company was working on a new game, but I didn’t figure they would say anything about it until E3. I’m happy that they did. It was a nice surprise.

Perhaps the biggest news is that the Batmobile will be in the game, and players will be driving it. In fact, developers say that it will be an important part of gameplay. I’ll be interested to see how this changes things for good (or bad).

Something else I’ve gathered from the trailer is that it looks like we’re going to get another nearly empty Gotham in terms of citizens on the street.  The only reason I say this is that the trailer shows people fleeing and villains taking over.  I might be wrong….

Anyhow, this trailer does get me excited, even though it’s still early. This was only a cinematic trailer, but it certainly got me excited.

I’ve included the trailer here for all three of you who haven’t seen it. Let me know what you think!
