Batman: Arkham Knight – Premium Edition (2015): A Complete Review
If you are a fan of Batman and video games, you have probably heard of the Batman: Arkham series, one of the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful superhero game franchises of all time. The series started with Batman: Arkham Asylum in 2009, followed by Batman: Arkham City in 2011, and concluded with Batman: Arkham Knight in 2015. In this article, we will focus on the last installment of the trilogy, Batman: Arkham Knight – Premium Edition, and review its gameplay, features, graphics, performance, DLCs, and season pass. We will also compare it to the standard edition of the game and help you decide whether it is worth buying or not.
Introduction
What is Batman: Arkham Knight – Premium Edition?
Batman: Arkham Knight – Premium Edition is a bundle that includes the base game, Batman: Arkham Knight, and the season pass, which grants access to all the downloadable content (DLC) released for the game. The base game was developed by Rocksteady Studios and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. It was released on June 23, 2015, for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. The game is set one year after the events of Batman: Arkham City, in which Batman defeated his archenemy, the Joker. However, Gotham City is still under threat from a new alliance of villains led by Scarecrow, who plans to unleash a fear toxin on the city and expose Batman’s identity to the world. Batman must use his skills, gadgets, allies, and a new vehicle, the Batmobile, to stop Scarecrow and his allies from destroying Gotham and his legacy.
Why should you buy the Premium Edition?
The Premium Edition of Batman: Arkham Knight offers several advantages over the standard edition. First of all, it is cheaper than buying the base game and the season pass separately. The Premium Edition costs $39.99 on Steam, while the base game costs $19.99 and the season pass costs $19.99 as well. Therefore, you can save $10 by buying the bundle instead of the individual items. Secondly, the Premium Edition gives you access to all the DLCs that were released for the game, which add more content, variety, and replay value to your gaming experience. The DLCs include new story episodes, playable characters, skins, maps, missions, challenges, and more. We will discuss them in more detail later in this article.

The Batmobile
One of the most notable features of Batman: Arkham Knight is the introduction of the Batmobile, a fully drivable and customizable vehicle that can be used for transportation, combat, puzzle-solving, and exploration. The Batmobile has two modes: pursuit mode and battle mode. In pursuit mode, the Batmobile can reach high speeds and perform maneuvers such as drifting, boosting, ejecting Batman into the air, or launching missiles at enemy vehicles. In battle mode, the Batmobile transforms into a tank-like vehicle that can fire machine guns, cannons, rockets, EMPs, or non-lethal rounds at enemy drones or turrets. The Batmobile can also be remotely controlled by Batman using his cowl or his wrist device.
The Batmobile is not only a fun and powerful tool for Batman but also an integral part of the game’s design and narrative. Many
