WB Montreal

With Gotham Knights just a couple of months away from its October 25 release date, WB Montreal has also been liberally releasing new details and trailers, and its latest drop, compliments of SDCC, offers a brief glimpse into Batgirl’s character. “If there’s one thing I’ve learned about Gotham City it’s that people need symbols,” Barbara Gordon says before heading off into the night to knock some heads (the studio recently overhauled her backstory following some controversy).

The trailer shows Batgirl sporting a nightstick that can transform into nunchucks, as well as the standard staple of batarangs and grapple hook attacks. It also lingers a moment on some metal fins on her gauntlets, and ends with a massive ground-pound attack. In the game proper, she’ll be teaming up with Robin, Nightwing, and Red Hood to take back control of the city, level up skill trees, and compare loot stats. I’m not sold on that last part, but I am eager to get back into a Batman game, especially one where Batgirl is playable again (she previously made her debut in Arkham Knight’s DLC).
