Batman: Arkham Knight is about Legacy.

Rocksteady ripped out every system, re-examined every set-piece, redesigned the combat, the stealth, the gadgets, to give them a new lease of life in an open world that is proudly designed to be played, not wander through. The feeling of playing Arkham Knight is very different from the feeling of playing Asylum, City, or Origins.

And that’s not just because of the batmobile.

So let's look at Batman's legend, and the legacy of the game that said goodbye to him.
