Bet you spend most of your time as batgirl.
Surprised not forced to play as black character like batwing, maybe batman mantel will be taken over by some black guy? If not this gameis going to get roasted by the gamming press for none of the heros being black.
As it is only having one female character is going to get them in trouble.
Whats the betting red hood is gay because all games havd to have gay characters these days.
Sounds like are as sick of what they are forcing on us via games as I am.
A pretty unexpected announcement by WB. But like most games released these days, I'm cautiously optimistic. I'm also not sure how I feel about the premise. I'm pretty happy to see Nightwing finally get some time to shine, but I'm worried how good the story could possibly be with its attention divided by multiple leads. The other games all had stories that I really enjoyed, though. Plus, the Court of Owls should make awesome antagonists if done right. The comic storyline for the Owls was one of the better stories Batman has had in many years and I'm hoping they can do it right in this game.
Same
No Batman, no buy.
Sorry, but I couldn't give less of a shit about the bat family. Having a whole game dedicated to them is not my idea of a good time.
10 to 1, Bruce Wayne is gonna be revealed as an upper level member of the Court and faking his death was part of the plan
Nightwing has been critically under used by DC when you consider he's known by damn near everyone.
Do you know if they are going to ALLOW you to play as one character throughout, or will force you into the different roles? I'm guessing they will force you into the different characters as the story progresses.
In the first minute: "This mission is halfway through the Mr. Freeze story line. And we're playing Batgirl a dozen or so hours into her character progression."
I hope they let you play anyone through the whole story. I guarantee they will not.
The fact the whole gameplay walkthrough had her as the focus is what's called a 'tell'.
I REALLY HOPE I AM WRONG!
LOL!

What's a "major comment"?
Eh, not interested.
The new Gotham looks atmospheric as all get out, and expanding the playable characters and allowing them full access to the city with civilians in the streets is a nice change of pace, but as soon as player and enemy levels in conjunction with the XP was introduced and co-op was clearly the focus of the game, all my interest died off. It's like the Division, but with Batman.
I saw the numbers flash on screen with every blow, how barely-effectual each strike seemed to be (TBF, this could be attributed to the game's pre-alpha state and rougher animations and the like) against the enemy, in tandem with the clearly-simplified Freeflow-inspired combat system, and I checked out.
I get it: the Arkham series is done, and you can always play those if you want to -- they're not going away.
However, it also feels like a huge betrayal of expectations to introduce the Court of Owls within a post-Batman continuity*, but remove it from the more mature and established Arkham universe in favor of an online co-op action-RPG with in-game resources that are most assuredly hinting towards MTX implementation. They could have gone post-Knight -- maybe even planned to until it was decided to remake the game into its own continuity -- and had the Bat Family keep the peace and combat the Court, until the new Knightmare Batman hinted at in the post-credits Knight scene made his formal appearance, or something.
*As if he's really dead, though. Batman actually being dead in this story is about as likely as it was that anyone other than Jason Todd was going to be the Arkham Knight.
Ah, as I suspected from the look of the trailer, this is made by the studio that made 'Arkham: Origins'. Good. I enjoyed it almost as much as 'Arkham City'. Except that friggin' Deathstroke fight.
