Batman Arkham Knight is getting the BEST batsuit

I’ve mentioned before how much I love the new look that the dark knight sports in Batman Arkham Knight. It’s the kind of suit that would work in real life, if one had decided to get some closure on their childhood mental trauma by punching out their depression on criminals.

But as much as I love that batsuit, it’s not my favourite. Nope. In my officially endorsed opinion that may have been bought off by Tim Burton so that I could finally afford to buy screen-used Penguin underwear from the set of Batman Returns, the best batsuit comes from the best Batman movie, which was released in 1989.

And that suit will be joining the bat-closet, in the ridiculously-priced season pass. It looks great! Almost as good as some other fat South African cosplayer who ran around filling the Dome at rAge with bat-sweat and screams of make-up that was running into his eyes. I wonder who that dork knight was…

The 1989 Movie Batmobile pack will also see the classic dragster version of the Batmobile in action, although how that car transforms into a mobile weapons platform with that design, is beyond me.

There’ll also be some musical love, with two tracks from the rather brilliant Batman Returns flick from 1992, inspiring some melodies to deal out some justice.

Along with the Keaton-skins, there’ll also be new threads for the supporting cast: 1990s Catwoman, One Year Later Robin, Arkham Origins Batman, Iconic grey and black Batman, 1970s Batman and the original Arkham Nightwing.

BAK (2)

I’m also a huge fan of the Arkham Origins batsuit and yes I’ve seen that big chap dressed up in the armour stop sending me that link dammit.

The game is running juuuust fine on console right now. Maybe one day, PC players can get in on this action when Batman Arkham Knight is re-released.

  1. I love the classic blue-grey suit. Michael Keaton’s is also a legendary suit. But my personal favourite is still the one from The Dark Knight Returns. Love that look.

    Man I am glad I did not buy the season pass for this rubbish I read the review for the Batgirl DLC also apparently it’s only an hour long!

    Game was really good I would recommend it to anyone however after finishing everything there are a few things that are really wrong with the game 1. Too much Batmobile, it is by far the coolest ever accessory in a game but when every boss fight is in it not to spoil anything! 2.No boss fights whatsoever!!! 3.This DLC rubbish…

    Keaton > Bale. Curious to see how Batfleck does. Also Jared is shaping up nicely as The Joker in the new suicide trailer

      I was so disappointed in that trailer.
      Harley looks like she’s really pulling it off. But I cannot get into that ridiculously generic new Joker.
      And that line he has in the trailer….ugh…we’ve heard just about every gangster in every action movie say something in that line.

            I’m excited for it, no doubt. And I don’t want to judge beforehand, but from everything I’ve seen there’s not a single thing about the new Joker that gets me excited about him.
            I thought Jared was a great pick for the role, but I think they’ve messed up the idea. They keep trying to go the “believable realistic” way and losing all the things that make these characters great. Harley seems really cool though.

        He looks like a younger rendition of the Joker. This seems like DCs version of Guardians of the Galaxy and I think it will be the better movie as well.

          I hope so. I am looking forward to Suicide Squad. Even if it is to only see more Harley Quinn. However, since they announced Leto as the Joker I’ve become a sceptic.

        I’m actually starting to see why they picked him. If you watch the interviews and such, it’s a pretty nice approach. Almost like the whole Dark Knight Returns thing.

        with the latest trailers, my attitude is changing, much like my attitude towards the Jarred Leto Joker.
        if anything, he’s going to make an awesome Bruce Wayne.

            the shots we got of him befor the trailers had no context.
            and the drastic change from the previous jokers had most people thinking it was too much.

            July 15, 2015 at 09:42

            I didn’t care then about that. Jared is a decent actor, I thought he had the ability to do a good job.
            Change I don’t mind. Ledger’s Joker is still a more drastically different take with that dark look.
            The new one just looks generic to me. Kind of expected there to be a “thug life” tattoo on his back.

      Leto joker is starting to look good, sounds almost exactly the same as heath ledgers joker though, which im OK with, even if its not a totally original take on it.
      but the punky look hes got for joker is pretty good, much more accurate towards the comics.
      he’s got the insanity part locked down though, damn.

      Not convinced with Margo Robbies Harley though, overdone and too skinny.
      she’s no Jessica Nigri, but she’ll have to do i guess.

        If you google thug and check under images you pretty much get a thousand pics of the new Joker, only without green hair. I think the new Joker looks terrible. Jared will do a good job, but he’ll be let down by the bad design

    Finally started playing this on my PS4 last night. Really good so far – fun to play, looks great and runs buttery smooth.

    But I also saw the season pass for sale – it’s R589!! It’s, literally, the price Batman: Arkham Asylum was when it was released!! Seriously?! Wow, just wow. There is no way I’d pay the price of another game just for an online pass – one which will net me a few skins and, maybe, some decent story missions… From what I’ve read online so far, the Batgirl dlc is really short – how can they justify that price?! And I thought the Mortal Kombat season pass of R489 was bad (both WB published, I might add)!
