The Dark Knight Batsuit is Coming to Arkham Knight 

Game Director Confirms New Skin Due to Public Demand

It looks like Rocksteady is going to release a Batsuit for Batman: Arkham Knight that is modelled on one of the costumes from The Dark Knight film trilogy. Co-founder of Rocksteady and Game Director of Arkham Knight Sefton Hill has revealed the news via Twitter. 

"We've had a lot of requests for the Batsuit to go with the Tumbler. We hear you so we're going to make it happen!"

Alot of fans were left scratching their heads when the Tumbler pack was announced without the inclusion of The Dark Knight Batsuit. Rocksteady had previously released a Batman 1989 pack which had the Batmobile from Tim Burton's movies plus the Batsuit worn by Michael Keaton in the films. It seemed like a missed opportunity when Christian Bale's suit wasn't included in the pack based on The Dark Knight. Turns out it may have been a technical issue as Hill commented further on the matter.

"the suits take a very long time to build because of the insane amount of detail. Expect it near the end of the year."

With the speed at which Rocksteady has been releasing additional content since the launch of Arkham Knight it's easy to forget just how much work goes into all the packs. Still it's great to see a developer respond to such a passionate fanbase. All that remains to be seen ifs which Batsuit from the Nolan trilogy gets released as also asked fans whether they would prefer to see the suit from Batman Begins or The Dark Knight. Although I love the Batman Begins suit, I'd prefer The Dark Knight costume as it features more detail, has a leaner look and to be honest most of my favourite moments from the movies were when Christian Bale was wearing the second suit. What's your pick for the game?
