The 'Arkham Knight' Trailer Pretty Much Rules

The Internet is abuzz right now about a blue and black dress (or is it white and gold?), but my favorite thing online this week was easily WB Games' "Gotham is Mine" trailer for Batman: Arkham Knight, which hits consoles on June 2. Not only does the preview show off the stunning graphics of Rocksteady's conclusion to the Batman: Arkham Trilogy, but the huge role The Scarecrow will have in the anticipated title. Sure, Dr. Crane was a huge part of the first game in this franchise, Arkham Asylum, but he's never quite been portrayed as being this powerful outside of the comics before. I dig it.

Regardless of how you feel about the quality DC's comics and movies these days, their TV (Arrow and The Flash) and particularly their video games have been on point. Check out the latest trailer for Arkham Knight below.

So is this blog weekly now? It’s certainly starting to look that way. I honestly meant to post an update days ago, but then South Park: The Stick of Truth happened and, well, you can piece the rest together yourself.

By the way, it’s worth pointing out that The Stick of Truth — developed by Obsidian Studios in collaboration with South Park Digital Studios — is one of those rare licensed video games that’s simultaneously faithful to the source material and wholly engaging as a stand-alone piece of entertainment. South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker were hands-on during the game’s production, and it shows throughout the crude, disgusting and oddly charming experience. Whether you’re a casual fan or one of those kids who was rarely seen without a South Park shirt in the late 1990s (ahem), The Stick of Truth is a hilarious must-have.

Speaking of kick-ass licensed games, Game Informer gave us our first look at Batman: Arkham Knight, Rocksteady Studios’ latest installment in its critically acclaimed Arkham series. I’ve been holding off on fully embracing next-gen gaming consoles, but I think this was the push I needed. Because Batmobile, that’s why.

Check out the trailer below.
