** The fact that on consoles, the game is exclusive to XboxOne and the Playstation4, over the previous generations (Likely due to the demanding graphics) which had the three previous games. Console fans are annoyed, since it means they'll have to upgrade now to get the game.

* VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The fact that a single character model in this game will have more polygons than the entirety of the environment in past games should be a hint of things to come.

** Upon the release of the first gameplay trailer, the graphics were so impressive that the distinction between cutscenes and gameplay is practically non-existent, to the point where some people thought the actual gameplay was '''still only cutscenes'''.

** The Batmobile in general. Some fans have been hoping for its inclusion since ''City'', since driving it would be fun, while others had rejected the idea since it could easily be screwed up or because it detracted from the main gameplay, so including it now probably pleases some, and irritates others. The ones who wanted the Batmobile though, don't like its [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks redesign]] for ''Knight'' - specifically, the fact that it looks more like the Nolanverse Batmobile over the one seen in ''Arkham Asylum''. The same applies for Batman's new armoured suit.

Broken base is a split fandom, not an upset fandom or a fandom where some are upset and the rest don\'t care. If you cannot produce two opinions from the fandom, do not add it.


** The fact that ''Arkham Knight'' is PC, PlayStation4, and XboxOne exclusive means that a majority of fans who own previous gen consoles (which all of the previous games were released on) have to consider upgrading or purchasing expensive new hardware for this long-awaited sequel to Arkham City.
*** Similarly, WiiU owners who bought ''Arkham City: Armored Edition'' and ''Arkham Origins'' for that console were disappointed to hear that Warner Bros. might not even be bothering with an outsourced port for Wii U like with the last two games.
** There are also DCComics fans who are sick and tired of another Batman game, and are hoping that another DC hero like ComicBook/{{Superman}}, ComicBook/WonderWoman, ComicBook/GreenLantern, ComicBook/TheFlash, or ComicBook/GreenArrow would be given their chance to shine in the video game world. For these people, the fact that Rocksteady is leaving the franchise after this has been well received.

Unnecessary information. That\'s not really the point of the Broken Base, and is listed on the Adaptation Distillation entry.


*** The Nolanverse Batmobile was itself inspired heavily by Creator/FrankMiller's ''ComicBook/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns'', specifically the Batmobile as anti-Riot SWAT vehicle which will serve as its main purpose in ''Arkham Knight''.
