A new skin from the movie The Batman has been officially confirmed for Arkham Knight, a month after it was accidentally added to the PC version of the game.
The new skin lets players use the suit from The Batman, the 2022 movie starring Robert Pattinson as Batman.
It was made for Batman: Arkham Trilogy, which is releasing on Nintendo Switch on December 1. This compilation includes Arkham Asylum, Arkham City and Arkham Knight in one package, along with all the DLC previously released for those games.
The Switch version of Arkham Knight featured in this compilation will also be the first to get the new skin from The Batman, which will be available from the December 1 release date.
Warner Bros Games says the suit will then be added as a free download to the PS4, Xbox One and PC versions of Arkham Knight on December 15.
Some PC players have already had a taste of The Batman suit in action, however, after it was accidentally added to the Epic Games Store version in October for a brief period.
Players spotted that the skin had been added to the game, in what at the time was thought to be a stealth release, rather than a mistake.

The suit was simply called The Batman – 2022 and came with the description “I am the shadows.”
However, as quickly and quietly as the suit was added, players started reporting that it had been removed again, presumably when the error had been spotted.
Arkham Trilogy was originally planned to release on Switch on October 13, but was then held back for two months.
“More time is needed to bring players the best possible experience on Nintendo Switch,” the game’s official Twitter account read at the time. “We apologise to fans who are excited to play this version of the trilogy. Thank you for your patience.”
The trilogy is being developed for Nintendo’s console by Turn Me Up Games, which previously handled Switch versions of It Takes Two, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2, and Borderlands Legendary Collection.
Co-chairman and co-CEO of DC Studios James Gunn has said Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League won't be the last we see of the Arkham Universe.
James Gunn isn't ruling out more games in the Batman Arkham universe. This comes after some fans feared that after Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League future DC games would be centred around the films, not the long-running gaming series developed by Rocksteady.
Batman: Arkham Knight owners can now cosplay as Robert Pattinson’s caped crusader from The Batman, with a free skin available for all versions of the game. If you’re having a bit of déjà vu right now, it’s because that Batman costume was released (and then retracted) in the Epic Games Store release of Arkham Knight way back in October, and was also made available in the Nintendo Switch collection that just came out.
After a decade in Early Access, Planet Management God Simulator The Universim is finally set for its full 1.0 release. Developer Crytivo revealed today that the God Sim will leave Early Access on January 22, 2024. Alongside a ton of improvements, the full release also introduces the space age which gives players access to advanced technology including the all-new planet cracker.
After some speculation, the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) has confirmed that it is officially cancelling E3 after nearly three decades of the iconic LA video game expo.
Batman: Arkham Knight is being updated next month with the suit worn by Robert Pattinson in last year's film The Batman. Arriving on 15th December 2023, the suit will actually be available first in the new Nintendo Switch version of Batman: Arkham Trilogy, but will then be offered as a free download to PS4 players and PS5 owners using backwards compatibility.
The Switch version of Batman: Arkham Knight is an “unmitigated disaster”, according to a new technical analysis by Digital Foundry.
December is here, and that means some of you might be going for video games that are “on your wishlist” or possibly thinking about getting games that you weren’t sure about before but want to take a chance on since there are no big releases across the main systems for this month. There was one release that kicked off December, though, and that’s the Batman Arkham Trilogy for Nintendo Switch. The port of the beloved Rocksteady games had gamers curious, if nothing else, when it was announced. But when you see the comparisons to other systems, it seems the Switch port has once again come up short.
Batman Arkham Knight and embarrassing ports are terms that seem to go hand in hand, as those who played the PC version of the game at launch know well, but it seems like the final entry in the series by Rocksteady reached a new low with the recently released Nintendo Switch port.
Even though it's a pretty great game, Batman: Arkham Knight has a very rough history when it comes to its performance. It ran so badly on PC back at launch that developer Rocksteady Studios had to delist the title to fix the issues and apologize to fans for its release. Fast-forward over eight years, and it seems as though Rocksteady hasn't learned its lesson, as Arkham Knight is reportedly "unplayable" on the Nintendo Switch.
The first comparison videos of Batman Arkham Knight on Switch have been posted.
