Let’s be frank: We’re all extra-nervous about this one, since it’s the first canon “Arkham” series installment without developer Rocksteady or longtime Batman writer and fan favorite Paul Dini’s guiding hands.
A prequel to Arkham Asylum and City, it mines Batman: Year One territory thematically, depicting Bruce Wayne as a less experienced crime-fighter tangling with mainstay Bat-verse rogues — the big bad looks to be Black Mask, though who knows — for the first time in an expanded, snow-filled, creepy Christmas-lit version of Gotham City.
