Batman: Arkham City Release Date, Reveals, Rumors and Review: Arkham Knight to be Quite a Handful for the Players

The London Based Developer Rock steady Studios are currently working on the latest installment of the Arkham trilogy which is Batman: Arkham Knight. This is the fourth installment of the game series and has been slated for a 2015 release date, but the exact time has not been confirmed. The game is going to be available on Playstation 4, X Box One as well as PC platforms. This installment of the game will include the Arkham Knight who will be a formidable foe on the same level as the Gotham Knight in terms of physical power, tools and mental ability.

As such, the Arkham Knight will be a militarized version of Batman and it is going to come with a distinctive A logo on his chest which symbolizes the Arkham Asylum facility. There are reports that the Arkham Knight is so much more than just brawn and attitude. He is going to a psychological force as well and this makes him the best match for Batman because he faces up to him in all capacities. He is thus the exact opposite and a dark reflection of the caped crusader. The Arkham Knight wears the same armor but with more edge in terms of restraint. He does not have any. The pointed ears on the villain serve as psychological attack on the hero as well as a transmitting device which allows the villain to relay commands to the ground units.

Some of the other accessories and innovations that are available for the enemy include camouflage deflective chest plates, as well as a mask that comes with a super computer display. The game's storyline takes place after the year 2011 "Batman: Arkham City" and the death of the arch nemesis, the Joker. Though the joker is dead it seems that the Arkham Knight might prove to be just as equal an adversary. The Arkham Knight is also going to allow the players to use the Batmobile.
