11 Mind-Blowing Facts You Didn't Know About Batman: Arkham

1. A Single Character In Arkham Knight Has As Many Polygons As All Of Arkham Asylum

Batman: Arkham Knight is one of the best looking games of the last generation. It was the first time Rocksteady moved onto Unreal Engine 4, and the amount of detail they managed to pack into their version of Gotham really shines through; it's a stunning achievement.

However, perhaps the most impressive thing about Arkham Knight is the level of detail on display. The character models for Batman, Harley Quinn and pretty much everyone that appears are all incredibly impressive, and given the game released a whole six years after Asylum did big advancements were always expected.

Perhaps not to the level it eventually ended up being though.

In the build up to Knight's release, Lead Character Artist Albert Feliu spoke to Game Informer (Via Push Square) and said that "one character is as big as the polygon count of Arkham Asylum, the whole environment."

That's an incredible upgrade, and one of the most fascinating tidbits about the Arkham series.
