On Christmas Eve, we received a note to save the date for a special Batman Arkham New Year’s Eve surprise. Now, we’ve received the formal invitation.

Warner Bros. is inviting us to Wayne Manor to celebrate the Humanitarian of the Year. The event is a black tie awards gala and, well, it doesn’t seem like the most compelling concept for gameplay.

Surely something is bound to go wrong, much as it did in Batman Begins when Ras Al-Ghul and the League of Assassins torched stately Wayne Manor. We’ll have our eye on the Batman Arkham page throughout the day to see if there’s any further information that emerges.

Our Take

We’ve already received the Initiation DLC, and the only other piece of promised content that's part of the season pass is something that’s narrative-focused. Arkham City’s major story DLC had us wearing Robin’s domino mask. Are we about to step into the shoes of faithful butler Alfred? (Probably not.)
