Watch the trailer here:

Here is a synopsis of the video game:

Scarecrow returns to Gotham City to unite the Rogues Gallery in a master plan to destroy the Batman once and for all. When the citizens of Gotham are forced to flee, the remaining criminal gangs converge to take control of the city. Undermanned and overpowered, Batman aims to even the odds by bringing his legendary Batmobile to the fight. This showdown between criminal masterminds and the Dark Knight will decide the future of the city that Batman is sworn to protect.

Meanwhile, Rocksteady marketing director Dax Ginn recently spoke about the newest gaming feature: the Batmobile.

"It's really nice to be able to say, 'If you get turn slightly wrong as you're making a right turn and you're going to run into the side of the building, you're just going to rip that corner of the building off,' rather than something that just stops the Batmobile, which totally kills the power fantasy of the Batmobile," Ginn said.

"I think there are a lot of driving games where we could have kind of borrowed gameplay mechanics just because they're easy. For us, the focus was: 'What's the Batmobile all about? How do we make the experience feel really unique?' And so destruction is a big part of that-the power and speed of driving the Batmobile," he said. "We really were very concerned about the Batmobile experience feeling like a bolted on driving mode, and we did not want that. That would have been a real failure for us."
