Batman: Arkham Knight - 12 Details In The Trailers You Totally Missed

5. Escape Takedown Grapple

It's more than likely most of us watching the first E3 trailer were too busy being wowed by Batman's Fear takedown to notice that there appears to be another new move added to Batman's arsenal during his fear attack. Shown as the Escape Takedown Grapple, this would appear to be a last-ditch escape during a fear takedown that allows Batman to rocket off into the sky and avoid an attack. As it references a Takedown, Batman may well take a thug with him as he goes. The symbol only appears briefly as Batman begins the takedown against the first enemy he sees. It then fades away as the next chain in the attack appears, implying that this can only be used once before committing to the full beatdown. Of course, any respectable Batman doesn't need to perform an escape. Much better to scare the hell out of his enemies before smashing their legs and other limbs.
