'Ice' to see you again

I appreciate that Gotham Knights is being up-front about how it isn't a "Batman" game. Bruce is gone, Bats isn't even part of the title -- and whether or not Knights incorporates any stealth, the footage so far is clearly more focused on combat.

Arkham Asylum was an excellent Batman simulator, while its follow-ups City then Knight gradually added more open-world superheroism. I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing if Knights iterates specifically on the latter, especially since this dev studio has some relevant experience from the Arkham Origins spin-off.

That said, the dialog in the demo trailer... ugh. I would have hoped Batman & Robin was a low narrative bar to clear, but dramatic banter like "We'll see about that" has me nervous.
