Batman: Arkham Knight is an action-adventure game. It is released by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and developed by Rocksteady Studios. Based on the DC Comics superhero Batman, the Batman: Arkham Knight videogame is a successor to Batman: Arkham Origins. Batman: Arkham Knight is the fourth instalment in the series.
The plot for Batman Arkham Knight is a continuation of the previous game Batman: Arkham City, which was released in 2011. It shows Batman at the helm of his powers when he sets out to confront the Scarecrow. Scarecrow has returned to Gotham City in a ploy to bring together all the enemies of Batman and put an end to the night crusader.
Scarecrow, or Dr. Jonathan Crane, as he was formerly known, was once a respected doctor who turned into a rogue scientist after being bullied for his troubled childhood days. He makes an entry into the title after having disappeared in Batman: Arkham Asylum. He has returned with three other notorious criminals – Harley Quinn, Two-Face and The Penguin. These four are joined by a fifth villain – the Arkham Knight – in Batman: Arkham Knight. The five evil minds team up in an attempt to end Batman.
Fans are speculating that the identity of the Arkham Knight has been revealed. James Horan is a voice actor for the Arkham Knight. He has previously voiced for other characters in the video game. One character he would constantly lend his voice to was Jack Ryder.
With the same actor lending his voice to two important characters in the series, fans are hopeful that maybe Jack Ryder will be the central antagonist in Batman: Arkham Knight. Jack Ryder is the reporter who always gets himself in trouble and is ultimately saved by Batman. Just like Bruce Wayne is the real identity of Batman, what if it’s the same with the Arkham Knight-Jack Ryder, and getting into trouble and being saved by the Batman was his plan all along?
There’s big news for the fans of Batman: Arkham Knight. The presence of Superman has been confirmed in the game. There are reports that this title has a radio report on the Man of Steel and his exploits in and around Metropolis, but fans are hopeful that Rocksteady includes a challenge mode between Batman and Superman.
Kevin Conroy is again going to voice Batman for Batman: Arkham Knight. Official news state that the voice of Superman will be given by the voice actor, George Newbern, who has previously done the voice for Superman in other games.
Batman: Arkham Knight is scheduled to be released worldwide on June 2, 2015.
