Batman: Arkham Knight's brooding protagonist may cut an introverted figure, but this brand new trailer for the forthcoming PlayStation 4 foray proves that justice is best served in pairs. The clip shows the big-eared hero fighting alongside Robin, Nightwing, and Catwoman – and appears to allude to tag-team attacks. Co-op is yet to be announced for the title, so we're assuming that these are special finishers that you can perform with computer-controlled accomplices.
To be honest, there's not an enormous amount else for us to glean from this clip, but we will point out just how desperately moody the whole thing looks. Between the never-ending night and constant downpour, we are starting to ponder whether the escapade's emo-side will get a bit fatiguing. Hopefully the full game will have a bit more environmental variety than what developer Rocksteady Studios is showing in trailers, because we're starting to tire of the gritty urban setting.

If there's co-op, this game will go from "probably not" to "insta-buy." Though, I kinda doubt that, at this point of time, they would've said it if it was there in the first place. I mean, they wouldn't keep something as crucial as this close to launch.
There could be co-op in the Challenge Rooms thing, I guess. Unlikely, though.
I hope the trend of big AAA games releasing in the summer continues. 2 years ago, The Last of Us came out in June. Last year, while not huge, Sniper Elite 3 was fun. I used to play NCAA Football during the summers, but of course that isn't a thing anymore. Movies coined the term "Summer Blockbusters" and I think games could definitely do the same. They don't all have to release September-November.
Arkham Knight is looking brilliant I cannot wait to be the Batman come June.
Arkham Knight has been and still is my most anticipated release of Generation 8 consoles. I have had this pre-ordered for almost a year now...
Looks decent enough, I got bored of arkham city pretty quick though, the dreary investigative scanner and constant crawling through air vents makes me wonder why so many people didn't like black gate, I thought I that was a pretty good game.
Another one of those games that we've seen a lot of, looks great, and we just want to play it now!
I'd prefer a light hearted, colourful 60s style batman. Honestly, I've enjoyed the lego batman games more than these dreary, over stylized batman games. Lighten up Alfred!
"we're starting to tire of the gritty urban setting." Sooo, Gotham City should be the land of rainbows and butterflies?
I'm super hyped for Arkham Knight now.
I might just buy this bundle, assuming my mom let's me use $400 from my savings.
Batman: Arkham Sci-Fi...
Guess Rocksteady Studios really wish to make an Ironman game..
all those Armor suit, drones, droids and tanks...
It looks awesome but I'm done getting hyped, every time I do, it's delayed. I'll be hyped when the game is finally released.

Exactly what I was thinking. If you want sunshine and rainbows, play the Lego games. The darker themes of the Arkham series work just fine for me and I don't want it changed.
