    Oh yes, Rocksteady is back! It's official: the very awesome studio is giving us its third Batman game. Not only will this be their grand finale for the Dark Knight, but it's also introducing a huge gameplay element: the Batmobile. As if gliding and leaping across the rooftops of Gotham City wasn't fun enough, you'll now be able to speed through its streets. Apparently Harley Quinn will be playable in challenges and we'll see the return of quite a few villains (e.g. Scarecrow, Two-Face, Penguin). Also, Kevin Conroy previously stated he was working on a Batman game, so it's safe to assume he'll reprise his role as the Caped Crusader in this one. (Watch the trailer HERE if you haven't already watched a dozen times)

    Needless to say, it's a thrilling reveal, but we want to know what has you the most excited. So, please click the link below and cast your vote!

    The fact that Rocksteady is back at the helm as Developers makes me even more excited. Origions was good but left me out in the cold (pun intended). Rocksteady knows how to respect this franchise and license this is how i like to wake up in the morning. Pay Day = Pre-Order

    Looking forward to see Nightwing, Robin and Catwoman hopefully make a return to at least the challenge maps. Also, getting to view the glorious character trophies with glorious next-gen graphics!

    Well I know it doesn't have any Multiplayer and I dont think it has Co-op either they said they want to bring the best single player experience so I doubt it

    I am excited for The Scarecrow's return.

    He was the best part about Asylum IMO.

    a Batman game that doesn't revolve around the joker... he's not like centre point of the batman universe.

    Scarecrows return is a good idea, his sections where best bits of the original Arkham Asylum. Although I suspect he won't actually be the main villain.

    • Open world Gotham
    • Guess who's back, back again, Scarecrow's back.
    • Playable Harley and her costume isn't as objectifying as it used to be
    • Batmobile
    • Rocksteady developing
    • pretty much everything

    @novemberx2: I suppose for some it's that, for me it has more to do with the fact that she's never been playable outside of fighting games and lego batman. Not really sure there's much of a fan obsession though.

    @flameboy298: it's probably has to do with the fact that she's a fan favorite who's been steadily rising in the past few years. I'm not saying Red Hood shouldn't be playable though.

    " "Arkham Knight" is apparently the name of a new archrival in the game. It's an entirely new character being created from scratch by DC's Geoff Johns. Interesting. "

    This is Rocksteady's third game. They weren't behind Arkham Origins.
