Rocksteady Studios and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment (WBIE) finally revealed the much-hyped Battle Mode for the Caped Crusader’s Batmobile in an all-new PS4 gameplay trailer for Batman: Arkham Knight at E3. The clip sees Bruce Wayne donning his armoured metallicy suit, and then moving from his office (in Wayne Tower ?) to locate the Penguin, giving us a sense of the large scale of the city – which appears to be more detailed and vibrant – as he glides around it.

After landing on the ground, he instantly summons the Batmobile and traverses the streets of Gotham, and then using the Battle Mode to strafe and shoot enemy vehicles with the cannon and lock-on missile launcher, and yes a combo appears in this mode as well. Finally locating the villain, he stylishly takes down three opponents and proceeds to interrogate the Penguin, when he is rudely interrupted by the Scarecrow.
