Batman Arkham Knight: 10 Killer E3 Announcements We Await

8. Full-Access Sidekicks

The ability to play as additional characters from Batman-lore is one of the few areas the Arkham franchise hasn€™t perfected. Catwoman did have some stellar €“ if not fleeting €“ moments in Arkham City, helping to satisfyingly mix-up the gameplay to give the Bat a breather. However, Nightwing and Robin were disappointingly only available to use in Arkham City€™s challenge mode. To really score a homerun on the extra playable characters front Rocksteady need to stop limiting our use of the non-Batman personnel. You should be able to explore the streets as the other Bat-Family members at your leisure, laying waste to thugs using their unique combos list. Azrael, Red Robin, Batgirl and Jason Todd are all characters whose attendance at Rocksteady€™s Batman€™s final hurrah would be greatly appreciated. Harley Quinn €“ who had a juicy little segment in the Arkham Knight trailer €“ is the only additional playable character who has thus far been confirmed. Though this addition is loaded with possibilities, we hope to hear more similar announcements at E3.
