Batman: Arkham Knight – 9 Things You Didn’t Know You Could Do

7. See The Alternate Intro

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdK2hjnqICY Although worthwhile New Game Plus content is becoming something of a rarity outside of titles like the Dark Souls/Bloodborne games - where replaying the game multiple times on the same save will open up more content - Arkham Knight has a surprise in store for those who finish and dive back in. If you're wanting to avoid spoilers then only know you trigger this by simply triggering New Game Plus, but for the rest who've finished the main campaign, you get the standard depiction of Joker's cremation, until about three minutes into the above video he bursts back into life in one of the best jump-scares in the whole game. His words echo what Gordon states at the beginning of the regular intro, except they're changed to "This is how it happened. This is how the Joker died" - something that anyone who's been through the campaign and that terrific final level can attest is more than applicable. Let us know in the comments if you think this would've been a better intro cinematic, as everyone was waiting for him to wake up anyway, and it would've only really came full circle when you had the entire picture at the end.
