Yesterday saw the release of the newest Batman: Arkham Knight trailer €“ €œEvening the Odds€, which finally showed us the first glimpses of gameplay from Rocksteady€™s first next-gen release.

Shockingly, there has been a mixed response from the online community of Bat-fanatics to the trailer with some criticising Rocksteady and Warner Bros. for branding this a gameplay trailer when it contains clear cutscene elements. Thankfully, the majority have been able to appreciate the trailer for what it is and get suitably amped up for what is an incredibly tantalising trailer. With some 5-months to go until the game€™s projected release-date, no one should be expecting Arkham Knight to get a complete gameplay trailer. A group of incredibly talented individuals still have a lot of work to do €“ we€™re just thankful that what they have chosen to show off looks so incredible and promises so much.The trailer isn€™t just intensely remarkable because it shows the rich detail Rocksteady are able to produce on the increased horsepower of the PS4 and Xbox One though. We are treated to several glimpses of some of the most exciting things we know to be included in the game; namely Scarecrow, the Batmobile and €“ most importantly €“ the Arkham Knight. Here are the 8 things we learned from the Evening the Odds trailer:
