‘Batman: Arkham Knight’ Announcement Trailer Brings Buckets of Bat-Based Badassery (VIDEO)

It's the final installment of the Arkham series, gentlemen. Stop pretending to work/scratching your ass and pay attention, because this is an encore you want to check out.

Rocksteady missed the Batman: Arkham Origins party; it was developed by Warner Bros. Games in their stead. But now, the creators of the much-ballyhooed Arkham Asylum and Arkham City are back with a third slice of Bat-tastic. It's time to get our Batman: Arkham Knight on.

Who the hell knew that Thomas Wayne was just as awesome as his famous son? In the above trailer, he's giving our ol' buddy Bruce some sage advice from beyond the grave. Y'know, the usual parental stuff: stay away from drugs and hookers, don't piss your money away, and punch bank robbers in the wang whenever possible. Most importantly, if you ever become a pseudo-superhero vigilante with an ostentatious costume, don't --don't freaking ever-- include nipples in your body armor. Because one day George Clooney might play you in a movie, and he'll look like a dick.

Anywho, to sum up: all we can gather thus far is that Batman: Arkham Knight is looking like business as usual, with what looks like a new-found vehicular combat focus. Grand Theft Auto Gotham, here we come.
