Gotham Knights: Gameplay trailers, features, expected release date, and more

sportskeeda.com:

Warner Bros.' upcoming Gotham Knights has been on many DC fans’ radars since its 2019 debut. Developed by Warner Bros Games Montreal, this upcoming action RPG revolves around the descent of Gotham.

The basic synopsis is that Batman and his partner-in-law James Gordon (also Commissioner for the G.C.P.D.) are dead. With new criminal threats surfacing and terrorizing the city, a new band of heroes come together to restore the law.

The focus this time around is on the Court of Owls - a shadowy criminal organization known to kidnap individuals. They turn victims into mind-controlled assassins known as the Talons.

Our heroes - namely Red Hood, Batgirl, Nightwing, and Robin - must fight both the Owls as well as the other criminal entities lurking around Gotham.

DC has provided fans with three trailers so far:
