Bat to the future
Although they may not be quite as revered as Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy, Tim Burton's Batman films will always have a special place in the hearts of anyone who grew up during the eighties and nineties. Moodily shot and dripping with gothic atmosphere, many fans still consider Burton's take on the character to be the definitive big-screen Batman.
Quarter of a century later, those same fans will finally get the chance to steer their very own virtual Michael Keaton around the mean streets of Gotham, playing through the entire Arkham Knight campaign as Batman '89 in all his black clad, stiff-necked glory. That's not all; they'll also be able to get behind the wheel of the Keatonmobile, chewing up the roads on some Burton-inspired downloadable racetracks.
From what I can gather, this version of the Batmobile will only be playable in races, lacking as it does the battle-mode found in the main campaign. The pack will be made available in August and will be free to anyone who's already opened their wallets for Arkham Knight's pricey season pass.
Aside from giving Batman an eighties makeover, August's Arkham Knight DLC plans also include a raft of new skins, including 1990s Catwoman, One Year Later Robin, Arkham Origins Batman, Iconic Grey and Black Batman, 1970s Batman and the Original Arkham Nightwing.
