The final chapter to Warner Bros. and DC's Batman Arkham returns its story to the aftermath of Arkham City in the present. The original now famed technical studio, Rocksteady, is back as well, after being replaced by Splash Damage for the development of Arkham Origins. Over 4 years in the making with several delays in its release date, the companies have made quite the effort to ensure that the beloved franchise's finale is an explosive one.
The lack of Scarecrow's appearance in Arkham City proves to be no accident. After his disfigurement at the hands of Killer Croc in Arkham Asylum, he has been recovering and orchestrating his vengeance. He seizes the mantle as the main antagonist now, alongside a mysterious private army commander known as the Arkham Knight. Scarecrow's public demonstration of his lethal fear toxin and the threat to unleash it on the entire city incites a full evacuation of its people, leaving it vacant for occupation by the Arkham Knight's forces.
With the city under occupation, the criminals that remained in Gotham now roam free. The police attempt to maintain control, but prove ill-equipped to asses the overwhelming hostile takeover. Fortunately, there is someone who is. Between a variety of upgrades to the infrastructure of the Batsuit, and the presence of the especially redesigned Batmobile, Batman just might be able to even the odds and reclaim his city.
