Gotham Knights debuted a second trailer during DCFandome, re-igniting interest for this Bat-Family Project. The game promises to finally put Batman’s most prominent sidekicks–Nightwing, Batgirl, Red Hood, and Robin–into the spotlight after spending years under the Bat’s shadow.

Fans already have a ton of questions about the story, game mechanics, and the plot’s impact on the Arkham universe. However, they also have some concerns, particularly over the lack of a gameplay trailer. They take to Reddit to share ideas, ask questions, postulate theories, and overall make the wait more bearable.

What’s Gotham Knights’ Release Date?

WB Games has been notoriously quiet about the game’s release date. They already delayed it once, prompting many fans to doubt if it’ll meet its apparent Spring 2020 release date. A recent post ponders if the game will make its deadline, posting a GameRant article that still mentions the Spring 2022 date.

“I hope it’s true,” Reddit user OP Accomplished_Cut553 commented, but other posters show some skepticism. Some even claim that WB’s other game, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, won’t meet its deadline either. However, user coca01 offers the most sensible response: “We’ll probably know by the Game Awards.”

Will Gotham Knights Make An Appearance At The Game Awards?

And speaking of the Game Awards, Redditor yiyonarv25 believes they might include some updates about GK. The user opened a poll, asking others if they’d tune in for GK content; out of 712 votes, 409 said “yes,” while 303 said “no.”

Since they began, the Game Awards have awarded seven major titles as Game of the Year, becoming one of the industry’s must-see events. As such, it’s the perfect opportunity for studios to release footage or trailers for their most anticipated projects. If GK does intend to meet its 2022 release date, then the Game Awards are a no-brainer for the pending gameplay trailer.

What Do Fans Want To See In Possible Game Awards Footage?

If GK does indeed make an appearance at the Game Awards, what do fans want to see from the possible footage? User yiyonarv25 asks this exact question on a thread, adding they “want to see more of the open world and how it functions.” However, they also state they are most excited to see Nightwing and Red Hood’s gameplay.

Most of the replies agree with yiyonarv25; users are desperate to see the characters’ gameplay. Story details, voice acting, NPCs, and of course, a release date were also popular choices. The game’s specifics are still vague, so it makes perfect sense that fans are starving for any news. Realistically speaking, any new footage would center on gameplay, with perhaps some extra voice acting.

Will There Be Crime Missions In Gotham Knights?

User littleman001 posted an update from GK’s PC Store page, claiming that it mentions patrolling and dropping in on criminal activity. “I hope that means crime missions similar to those in Marvel’s Spider-Man,” the user said, inciting a wide range of replies in the comments.

Marvel’s Spider-Man is arguably the best superhero game in recent years, so borrowing from it could work in GK’s favor. Most users provide their own insights into how the mechanic could work best, but they mostly agree that it would enhance the vigilante aspect that characterizes the Bat-Family.

Which Gotham Knights Character Has The Worst Design?

Unlike other DC superheroes and their outlandish costumes, the Bat-Family usually goes for more understated suits. Gotham Knights seems to be doing a decent job adapting its four main characters’ iconic looks, but not every fan loves the choices.

User JohnnySinsFan3000 outright asked which of the four MCs had the worst design, going so far as to open a poll. “I’d go with Batgirl,” the user said, claiming her mask “looks like something you’d get from Spirit Halloween.” The poll currently has 888 votes, and the undisputed winner is Robin, with almost half the votes. Most fans don’t actively hate it, but they dislike his tunic’s length; others say the costume look like something Damian would wear, not Tim.

Will Batman Be A Playable Character In Gotham Knights?

The entire premise of Gotham Knights revolves around Batman’s death, leaving Gotham City in his protegés hands. Throughout history, there have been numerous tragic deaths in Batman comics and movies. However, Bruce himself always manages to avoid meeting his maker. The question arises, then, if Batman will be a playable character at any point in the story.

Redditor Furon-37 wonders if Batman will be the game’s first playable character “to give a basic tutorial about combat and stealth” before dying and kicking the game into full speed. Users in the replies have multiple opinions; some suggest the game’s intro should be Batman’s death, while others think his character should only appear in flashbacks or video form.

Will Gotham Knights Show Bruce Wayne’s Funeral?

User lastraven85 wonders if the game will find time to show Bruce’s funeral “with the DC Universe’s heroes in civilian clothes making cameos.” The user claims this would be an easy way to establish the universe and even set up possible spin-offs.

Fans have numerous ideas for possible villains in Gotham Knights and how they’ll participate in the plot. However, NPC characters are trickier to place in any given story, especially when details are still minimal. Bruce’s funeral would be an excellent opportunity to show many fan-favorite characters. The comics have already done something similar, with Superman’s now-iconic funeral, so there’s a strong chance that Gotham Knights will do something similar.

Will Gotham Knights Get A Beta?

“Anyone else hoping for a beta before release?” asks user super-saiyan-shaan. They say it would be “cool to get a taste of the game even if it’s only the mission in the gameplay reveal.”

The question got an overwhelmingly positive response from other users, who all agreed that it would indeed be nice. Some go so far as to claim that a game like Gotham Knights needs a beta to test and give feedback. It’s uncertain if the users’ wishes will come true, but again the Game Awards seem like the most likely event to receive an answer for this particular question.

How Important A Role Will Customization Play?

Character customization is one of the best parts of any game. It allows players to inject some individuality into their playthroughs, thus enhancing the overall gaming experience. JohnnySinsFan3000, one of the most active members in the r/GothamKnights Reddit page, asks users how important they think customization will be. “I think it could be like Injustice, where you have options to change every clothing piece, and it affects stats.”

The users in the replies have wildly different opinions about customization, with some thinking the game will favor complete outfits and skins over individual pieces of clothing. Others think customization will apply to everything, including the weapons.

Will One Of The Gotham Knights Become Batman?

User Traditional-Wait4330 opened a poll asking who fans think has the most potential to become the new Batman. As expected, Nightwing is the overwhelming favorite, claiming 759 out of the 1065 votes. However, the poll also opened a new question: will any of the Knights end up taking the Batman mantle at the game’s end?

“I think no one will become the next Batman,” claimed user Batbomb1073. And JohnnySinsFan3000 suggests the game should make whichever character the player uses most the new Batman. Nightwing learned a lot of things from Batman, and he’s the one character who has taken over the mantle in the comics. Realistically speaking, Dick is the best choice out of the four Knights. Tim is too young. Jason is too Jason. However, it would be intriguing to see a Barbara version of Batman.
