Review: 'Gotham Knights' has some bright spots, but doesn’t carry torch to 'Arkham' video game legacy


The chief beauty of Gotham Knights winds up being its story. The tale takes place in a Gotham that’s Batman-free, and it explains this explicitly early on, leaving you no room to await some random Bruce Wayne cameo. — WB Games Montreal/TNS

This is not the Arkham universe. The title of the game, Gotham Knights, is your first giveaway of that.

Let’s be clear about that from the very start. When developer WB Games Montreal set out to develop the latest Batman (ish!) video game, instead of setting it in the Batman: Arkham world that’s given WB Games so much fruit in recent years, Montreal went elsewhere. And yet Gotham Knights will always exist in the Arkham shadow. It’s impossible to escape that.
