After a series of "Court of Owls" tease, developer WB Games Montréal and publisher Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment finally announced upcoming action role-playing Batman game titled Gotham Knights at DC FanDome event.
Following reveal of world premier trailer for Gotham Knights, gameplay walkthrough footage was released. Though a brief glimpse of split-screen feature was shown, WB Games won't be including it, according to official press release.

During official gameplay showcase for Gotham Knights, it was implied that you can switch to a split-screen for co-op experience. However, it turns out that WB Games Montréal has no plans to add such feature to main game at launch.
Regardless of split-screen option having great potential for a Batman game with playable Bat-Family members, WB Games simply used it during DC FanDome to show off two-players in same gameplay space but not in same living room.

Split-screen would put a huge technical challenge on any gaming system that has to render two gameplay worlds simultaneously. It may take only half of your screen but there is a lot going on behind the scene that once can't even imagine.
With a chance to play as Bat-Family members Batgirl, Nightwing, Red Hood and Robin, there are scopes to see some dynamic teamwork. You can also expect unique dialogue exchange and interaction between these young vigilante heroes.

In a briefing, creative director Patrick Redding has mentioned that players can either finish up entire playthrough solo or in two player co-op. Although not supporting up to four players is a letdown, many are still happy to tag a friend in.
Gotham Knights is likely to disappoint many players with lack of split-screen play but will offer co-op gameplay experience online. If they had couch co-op feature, WB Montréal would have highlighted that point in gameplay trailer though.
