Batgirl’s Identity Revealed in BATMAN: ARKHAM KNIGHT
Rocksteady recently revealed that Batman: Arkham Knight will include a prequel DLC that lets gamers play as Batgirl. Thanks to Rocksteady's Sefton Hill, it has been confirmed what version of Batgirl will be featured in the game.
Barbara Gordon will be wearing the cape and cowl in the game. The New 52 Comics features Barbara currently in a wheelchair after having undergone an experimental surgery to repair damage to her spine and restore full function of her legs. It will be good to see her back in action!
Players who purchase the DLC pass can take control of Batgirl in the prequel story expansion “A Matter of Family.” There aren’t many details about what the prequel DLC will include, but fans are speculating that it will be set after Arkham Origins, but before Arkham Asylum. There’s also word that it was inspired by the 1988 graphic novel The Killing Joke, which featured the Joker capturing and Barbra and torturing her. There’s no confirmation of that, though.
Batman: Arkham Knight will launch June 23rd on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
