In October, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment released Gotham Knights, which is the latest title in the Batman: Arkham series of video games. Unlike past games in the series, which starred titular superhero Bruce Wayne, Gotham Knights takes place after Batman’s death – yes, really – and players can choose to play one of four of his protégés: Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl, or Red Hood.

As any or all of these heroes, players will attempt to protect Gotham City in the immediate aftermath of their mentor’s death, which is as difficult as it is painful. There’s little time to mourn their loss, especially when criminal activity in Gotham is steadily increasing in the Dark Knight’s absence. Classic comic book villains including the League of Assassins and the Court of Owls plague the Bat Family, and ghosts from Bruce’s past just keep cropping up.
