Gotham Knights: 7 Major Changes From The Arkham Series

7. Not An Arkham Game

The first and most shocking revelation is that this title is not linked to the previous Arkham games released by WB and Rocksteady.

Initially, the trailer opens up with sirens and news reporters talking about an explosion at Wayne Manor with the discovery of a body seemingly belonging to Bruce Wayne. All signs seemed to point towards the ending of Rocksteady’s Batman: Arkham Knight, where a similar situation occurred.

The camera then cuts to several members of the Bat Family discovering the news and we get our first looks at Jason Todd, Barbara Gordon, Dick Grayson, and Tim Drake.

Not only is this 100% not the Tim and Barbara that were introduced in the Arkham franchise but Jason Todd is more accurate to his earlier comic book depiction, with a white streak and all.

We also learn that not only is Batman gone but so is Commissioner Gordon. Old Jim seems to have passed away some time before the events of the game as it is mentioned by Bruce in his broadcast to the Bat Family.

The Jim Gordon of the Arkhamverse survived the events of the game and eventually went on to see his daughter, Barbara, marry Tim Drake.
