No matter how dead Batman is in Gotham Knights, this game can’t escape his legacy as the best videogame superhero. Gotham Knights story is nothing short of fantastic. With Batman gone, the League of Shadows sees their opportunity to cleanse Gotham of its corruption. This secret society of Gotham’s rich and famous has been pulling the strings from the shadows for centuries, orchestrating assassinations and political sabotage for their own twisted benefits.

Inspired by the Batman: Gotham Knights comic series, Gotham Knights follows Batman’s allies as they come together to investigate The Court of Owls. In the wake of Batman’s death Nightwing, Batgirl, Robin, and Red Hood work together to solve Bruce’s final case as a shadow begins to envelop Gotham City and a nefarious force pulls the strings from the darkness. With the bat cave destroyed, Gotham’s deadliest villains on the prowl, and no Caped Crusader to stop them, the city’s final hopes rest with the Gotham Knights. Promethium New Guard Transmogs Gotham Knights.

But Gotham Knights wasn’t ready to let go of the Dark Knight. Batman’s death is the setup for a game that wants to distance itself from the Arkham series and introduce four bat protégés as worthy replacements. The game’s heroes find his body in the rubble, clutching his mask in one hand. He brawls with Ra’s al Ghul for what feels like 20 minutes and is eventually crushed by the debris of a crumbling bat cave. Gotham Knights has an excruciatingly long intro where Batman dies.
