Gotham Knights invites players to assume role of one of the four other members crime-fighting partners of The Dark Knight and video playthrough embedded above features major Bat-Family member Batgirl in primary role alongside Robin.
In response to a call of emergency, Batgirl hops on her Batpod and heads over to Elliot Center that has suddenly been covered in ice. Her walkthrough begins halfway through storey arc of Mr. Freeze and twelve hours into gameplay.

You can either finish a campaign playthrough as single-player or join in for a two-player co-op action. Robin joins her shortly afterwards by teleporting as he recently found access to Justice League satellite for short-range transportation.
Batgirl takes down a goon by jumping on him from above with a similar technique used by her mentor. Aside from serving as her primary weapons, she can instantly turn her batons into a pair of nunchucks and switch between them.

She gets up to a ledge where Robin accompanies her as they start clearing out Freeze's lackeys deep inside Elliot Center. Thugs will usually present regular level of challenge and to indicate damage, enemies have mini-health bars now.
Soon as she reaches to weather machine and places a disruptor, Mr. Freeze shows up out of nowhere and a boss-fight ensues. As you gain abilities and power-up, your enemies will keep up as well to match with your experience level.

In between missions, players will often receive information from detective Renee Montoya who works for Gotham City Police Department and Wayne Family butler Alfred Pennyworth, who is now called Belfry by members of Bat-Family.
WB Montréal is trying to break out of Batman: Arkham-style gameplay that was revolutionized and popularized by Rocksteady. For first time in franchise history, co-op gameplay is introduced and occasionally you can toggle to split-screen.

Batman is not returning for Gotham Knights or that is what WB Montréal claims even though evidence suggests otherwise. They never finished saying Bruce Wayne is "dead" during intro of the trailer and he can also fake his own demise.
There is obviously a larger plot involving Court of Owls and their reach throughout Gotham is far-deep than one can imagine. Realizing that they can come after him or Bat-Family, he clearly staged his death so he can investigate further.

Fans were almost certain that latest Batman game will be titled Court of Owls but WB Games ended up naming it Gotham Knights. However, key-focus of its storyline is still unclear despite showing off a dreaded secret society of Gotham.
Although lot of hype were built regarding a reveal event, Gotham Knights does very little to impress with its display of co-op gameplay. WB Games can certainly win over fans if they avoid a live-service model stay focused to main story.
