I am IRONBAT!
Except isn't that looking like it's one of the bad guys, not bats?
Yeah, I believe that's the main antagonist of the game, who's name of course is "Arkham Knight"
Looks sort of like a Deathstroke crossed with Azrael - a Batman wannabe without the morals and sissy fear of guns perhaps?
I hope he's not just another 2 dimensional villain bent on "killing the Bat" or taking over Gotham/Arkham and is instead a flawed anti-hero that blames Batman for his morals and black-and-white sense of right and wrong.
Always annoyed the hell out of me that Batman refused to kill anyone and just preferred to continue going through the cycle of catch villain, send villain to prison, villain escapes, rinse, repeat ad infinitum. If Batman just killed the fuckers, Gotham would be a lot better off (and a lot more innocent citizens would be alive)
And I wonder if that's meant to be Oracle Bats is talking to on the holo-comm on his wrist. Havent seen or heard her mentioned in any of the previous Arkham games, have we?
And as for the car, I agree it's a bit ugly. It looks like they tried to take inspiration from the Tumbler from the Nolan movies, but it hasn't quite made the translation. I always prefered the long sleek batmobiles myself.
