Whether or not you like Arkham Knight's Batmobile, there's no denying the sheer effort that went into its creation. It's one of the most immaculately modelled designs in video game history, and it alone possesses enough memory to fill up an entire Xbox 360 game. With such a massive level of detail on display, it only makes sense that Rocksteady would aim to capitalise on it, even if it did end up having an oppressive focus in Knight's main story. However, the level of variety we've seen with the Batmobile today was never originally intended. Indeed, the car was initially limited to a few custom resprays and not the incredible re-imaginings that have now made their way into the game, which is very impressive again, even if they too were given a little too much attention in the season pass. Irrespective of whether or not you thought the Batmobile had a negative impact on Arkham Knight, there really isn't anything to stop you admiring the effort that went into its creation. Rocksteady clearly made a huge effort in its creation, and continued to build upon it each time a new batch of content dropped in new and inventive ways. So, whilst the Batmobile isn't really a boon to Knight's efforts in making a Batman game for everyone, it certainly showed off some truly extraordinary talent.
