Gotham Knights gameplay confirms major Batman villain death

A good chunk of Gotham Knights gameplay reveals some important facts, including the death of a big Batman villain players will know from Arkham Knight

16 minutes of new superhero game in action but also reveals the fate of a major Batman villain – who fans will from what is arguably Batman: Arkham Knight's most famous moment.

Despite the action-adventure game, with an updated look at Batgirl gameplay.

While there's plenty of new information, the most significant is the confirmation – spoiler for the start of Gotham Knights – of the death of Kirk Langstrom, a.k.a. Man-Bat, the source of the death of Batman – but discovers that he's been murdered too. So, in this universe, both Batman and Man-Bat are dead.

The new gameplay has a good look at Batgirl's detective skills and some stealth takedowns too, confirming that Gotham Knights isn't just an RPG-brawler – although there's plenty of that in the video too, such as Batgirl taking on a huge bruiser-class enemy.

Langstrom is unlikely to be the "big" Batman's son Damian Wayne is indeed in Gotham Knights.
