The Knight of the Night returns in the second installment of the popular action game series for home appliances: Batman Arkham City.

Developed by Rocksteady Studios, Batman: Arkham City expands Batman: Arkham Asylums intense gaming environment as players find themselves in Arkham City, Gotham Citys new high-security prison for villains, gangsters and crazy criminal geniuses, located in the heart of Gotham, fortified apart from the rest of the city. An entirely new story is written in the long-awaited sequel to Arkham Asylum, which brings together a group of familiar characters and murderous villains from Batmans pages. Game features have also been revamped to allow players to experience the Knight of the Night at its best in the world.

You are the Knight of the Night. Batman: In Arkham City, you get to play the character of the Batman holistically, from fierce street fights to nerve-wracking sneaking, diverse criminal investigation, epic battles against superstars, and the psychological struggle of the tortured protagonist with himself.
