batman arkham knight the official novelization

The book is based on one of my favourite Batman stories. This is set in the game continuity, the have loosely refer to fact from the main DC universe, which they have tweaked for the purposes of this story. There are touches in the writing where a Batman switches between targeting and stealth mode, or 'detective lenses' which are right out of the game and fits perfectly with the game play. It is very fast paced, I am not a gamer any more, but I talked to you younger cousin about the story points of the game snd they are very similar. Lastly as I have completed the game on the PlayStation 4, the book did help piece together a few things that I either missed or did not understand in the game so kudos to Wolfman for linking these together.Excellent book. Furthermore, the book expands key storylines from the game and gives readers a better insight into all the characters motivations, especially the mind of Batman himself with his tribulations.īatman Arkham Knight by Marv Wolfman successfully bridges the gap between video game, comic and novel which takes readers on an insightful journey into the psyche of one of the world’s most popular fictional superheroes, the Dark Knight Batman. The story also serves as an excellent compendium to owners of the game, however given that this book touches upon all the events, players may want to wait until they have completed it. Without spoiling the story, Wolfman creates a gripping story that not only reads well but flows extremely well which should take most readers just a few days to complete. Who is the Arkham Knight and why does he want Batman to pay? These questions are answered in the novel and needless to say, Batman is taken on a deadly game of cat and mouse with his rogue’s gallery always one step ahead of our hero.

Unfortunately, a new villain has risen from the destruction, the Arkham Knight, a leader of a criminal paramilitary organisation who wants the caped crusader to pay for his past crimes. With the majority of the citizens from Gotham City fleeing, only Batman and the Gotham PD attempt to hold its criminal underworld at bay but they are losing the battle. Set in the final game of the series, Batman’s nemesis Scarecrow has unleashed a toxin on Gotham City which sees this metropolis on the verge of chaos. The novel at over 300 pages is also well written by Wolfman who successfully expands on the story from the video game by Rocksteady Studios with some great twists along the way. What is interesting about this gaming universe is that the Joker died in the previous game which creates a very emotional journey for Bruce Wayne (aka Batman). Written by legendary comic scribe Marv Wolfman ( Crisis on Infinite Earths, The Amazing Spider-man), BATMAN ARKHAM KNIGHT is the official novelisation of the hit 2015 video game of the same name which gives readers a further layer of this extraordinary gaming universe.
