Batman: Arkham Knight #1 Review

Thus far, precious little information about the Arkham Knight has been revealed by game-maker Rocksteady. All we know is that he's a villain wearing a militaristic, Batman-inspired outfit with an Arkham symbol on his chest, he has a mysterious connection to Batman and wants him dead, and he's teaming up with Scarecrow to carry out his plan.The video game is due out on June 2, but seeing how it has been delayed several times already, that date could change again. If the game does hit on June 2, then we would get this origin comic almost two months later. That begs the question, will this comic reveal new information about his origin, or will it retell what was revealed in the game? We'll find out soon enough.Check out the full solicitation information for the comic.Written by PETER J.
