We also know that Gotham Knights will see the team take on the Court of Owls, a mysterious organization that seems to be behind the crime wave in the game’s vision of the city.īut the biggest difference from what we’ve seen so far in the trailers and the main Battle for the Cowl series is that Jason Todd seems to be on the side of his Bat-siblings. The Arkham games have always featured a veritable smorgasbord of Batman rogues, so it’s likely we’ll see a ton in the new game, too. With Batman gone, Tim Drake and Dick Grayson call upon other Bat-universe heroes like Oracle, Huntress, Cass Cain, Spoiler, and even the lesser-known British superheroes Knight and Squire to take down a criminal cabal of Gotham’s most famous villains seemingly led by Black Mask. The new Gotham-set video game sees a spate of gang-violence spark a huge crime wave in the city, which is exactly what happens in Battle for the Cowl. Should he become Batman or keep on protecting Gotham as Nightwing? Just like Gotham Knights, we get plenty of Bat-Family action with multiple versions of the heroes starring in the miniseries and surrounding tie-in issues. With Bruce seemingly dead after a fight with Darkseid, Dick grapples with the realities of his role as the oldest of the Bat-Family. Taking place directly after Grant Morrison’s smash hit Batman RIP arc and the massive Final Crisis event, the story centers on a Gotham terrorized by the absence of Batman and a new hero using the mantle of Azrael. Now, where might we have seen a story like that before…īatman: Battle for the Cowl was a 2009 miniseries written and drawn by Tony Daniel, with inks by Sandu Florea, colors by Ian Hannin, and letters by Jared K. Gotham Knights showcases Barbara Gordon’s Batgirl, Jason Todd’s Red Hood, Tim Drake’s Robin, and of course Dick Grayson’s Nightwing teaming up to protect a Gotham that’s left defenseless after the apparent death of Batman.


The Bat-Family are back baby! Well, they’ve never really been gone but despite their occasional appearances in the smash-hit Batman: Arkham games series we’ve never gotten a dedicated game focused on Batman’s numerous wards until now.
