Batarangs, dawg.
Also it was just a little jab at them shoving it on the cover.
Anyway, GameInformer has exclusive coverage, and a trailer will be going up on their site.
Edit: Soon is now!

Umbran Climax◊My guess is that, between the massive gang warfare and protocol 10, both lost so many men and equipment during the events of Arkham City that it's in their best interests to combine resources. Both tend to be amongst the more pragmatic of Batfoes (Harvey's predilection for all things binary aside). Probably a similar situation for Harley and whatever's left of the Joker's gang.
Not dark and edgy enough.
I just hope they do more with Two-Face. He was completely wasted on AC.
Latest blog update (November 5th, 2022).Pumped. Can't wait to see more. Hopefully Rocksteady has the foresight to do QA and not include multiplayer trophies.
Because that costume looks ridiculous in anything that isn't a cartoon. It's not something a person would actually wear, especially not in the Arkhamverse.
I'm surprised that Harley is making an appearance. That was one of the things that disappointed me the most about her DLC: I assumed that after sucking and failing at her own scheme that was the end of her story in this series. I won't argue, Harley is one of my favorites.
Anyway, I'm excited. Not to say anything negative about Arkham Origins, I imagine it's as high quality as the rest, I just had no interest in a prequel after the end of Arkham City and the plot points they were hinting at.
But don't give up hope. Everyone is cured sooner or later. In the end we shall shoot you.![]()
Riiiiiiiight. Batman's cape and bat-eared cowl, on the other hand? Totally realistic.
My point exactly. I also feel the argument that Harley's costume is unrealistic, impractical or not edgy enough falls apart when you consider that this is Harley we're talking about. She's the craziest, bubbliest, most devil-may-care character imaginable. What does she care if she looks ridiculous? No, given the way the series portrays most of its female characters, I suspect the developers have a different reason for not showing Harley in her outfit.

Uh, what? The Batman series has absurd villains since forever. Heck, the basic premise itself is silly. And there's nothing wrong with being ridiculous, things don't have to be uber-gritty all the time.
Hell, did you see Batman's getup in the first two games? He's got Underwear of Power. I don't see how Harley's jester outfit is that much more ridiculous. She's not some normal person dressing in regular outfits.
That said, trailer looks awesome. I've really wanted to finally drive the Batmobile; games with drivable vehicles rarely give you a supercar of that caliber. Also really digging the new Batsuit. Is it just me? Or does it look less...roided out, than previous ones?
I just find unitards really silly. I don't think it fits with the aesthetic of the rest of the series. The only time that costume has ever made sense to me is in a 2D animated context. The jester horns, specifically, don't play well in 3D. Their main use in the cartoon is expressiveness, which you can't make a 3D model do the way you can a hand-drawn character.
Anyway...back to the trailer. So glad we get to actually drive the car.
It's Rocksteady's last Batman game. Dunno about the franchise, but I'm betting it'll feel pretty spent after this one.
They'll turn your world around

Link.
In the explosive finale to the Arkham series, Batman faces the ultimate threat against the city he is sworn to protect. The Scarecrow returns to unite an impressive roster of super villains, including Penguin, Two-Face and Harley Quinn, to destroy The Dark Knight forever.
Batman: Arkham Knight introduces Rocksteady's uniquely designed version of the Batmobile, which is drivable for the first time in the franchise. The addition of this legendary vehicle, combined with the acclaimed gameplay of the Batman Arkham series, offers gamers the ultimate and complete Batman experience as they tear through the streets and soar across the skyline of the entirety of Gotham City.
Be The Batman.
Now's it's Shulk Time!
