Gotham Knights Trailer Reveals Nightwing's Glider And Red Hood's Mystical Leap
Gotham Knights has a brand new, 15-minute, in-depth gameplay trailer that focuses on Red Hood and Nightwing, the two ex-Robins turned Bat-Family veterans. We see them traversing the rooftops of Gotham, fighting petty crime, and infiltrating the Court of Owls while also driving down Gotham's crime-laden streets in the new Batcycle, flying from point to point with the Fast-Bat.

The Fast-Bat, for reference, is part of the fast travel system, a giant black mechanical bat that brings our heroes to and from locations.

We also got a glimpse at two of Nightwing's abilities - Elemental Shock ignores armour and deals direct damage while Cryostasis freezes enemies to knock them out of action, giving you more
