There’s more to Gotham Knights than just that live service angle though! After putting the latest trailer and gameplay videos into the Bat-Computer, we’ve pulled details from the reveal that point towards a very new and exciting era in crime prevention ala bat-themed vigilantism. Here’s what we found.
