#BATMAN ARKHAM KNIGHT UPDATE REVIEW MOVIE#
As a Batman fan, I've longed for a movie that was a more accurate reflection of the comic books, and I think Arkham Knight is as close to the mark as it gets.

Truly, the crown jewel of Arkham Knight is its story. Batman has always provided us with a warped, nightmarish reflection of Western living, and Arkham Knight's Gotham is no different. From Poison Ivy's scientifically-questionable mutant plants to meta-human hybrids like Man-Bat, Rocksteady's Arkham Knight revels in the wackiest elements of Batman lore and emerges credibility unscathed. Arkham Knight, like the other games, side-steps the gritty realism of the famed Nolan movies, opting instead to remain firmly in the comic book realm. Throughout my time with Batman Arkham Knight, I haven't encountered a single crash, a single instance of screen tearing or slowdown. The sheer amount of detail found across the game's locations and characters place Batman: Arkham Knight among true new-gen games.

The draw distance is positively insane - a dive from the top of Wayne Tower reveals the full breadth of play-space available to you, which is equal parts daunting and enthralling. Gotham is rendered in Unreal Engine 3 and proves that the aging engine still packs plenty of wallop. Throughout my time with Batman Arkham Knight, I haven't encountered a single crash, a single instance of screen tearing or slowdownīatman: Arkham Knight is PS4, Xbox One and (eventually) PC only, and that new-gen exclusivity shines.
