Batman Arkham Knight: The Official Novelization

Playing the Arkham Series has filled many hours of endless enjoyment, especially during the beginnings of the Covid-Pandemic. This book version of the Arkham Knight was pretty straightforward but no less fun and intriguing to read. Highly recommend to anyone who enjoyed the Arkham Series or just simply loves Batman.

Excellent book. 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. 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. 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. The book is based on one of my favourite Batman stories. For spoiler reason I an not going to say which one. However there are plenty clues along the way that anyone would a decent knowledge of the Bat family to story is going and who is the Arkham a Knight. This book is a lot better than it's prequel the Riddler's Gambit. The best thing about this book is Marv Wolfman wrote Batman spot on. He does not just jump into situations is has a plan a,b,c all the way to z. He is methodical, practical, logical and always prepared. With just the right touch of his bossy controlling nature driving a wedge between him and his younger partners. The story the Joker is dead, for months there has been a power struggle in Gotham to fill the void he left. However he has played one last joke. Five individuals have been infect by the Joker's modified blood. This is causing their genetic to be overwritten to the Joker's complete with his memories. Also the Scarecrow is on the verge or releasing a new fear toxin over the whole of Gotham. Also a number of other Bat-villeins have been drawn into this schemes along with a private army of mercenaries and drones/tanks. Even Batman is not 100% and among other things feeling his age is he up to one last epic adventure. This book has it all action, mystery, detective work as well and revelations you would probobly never thought you/I would see outside a stand alone story. I highly recommend this to Batman fans and gamers alike.

Me gusta mucho la novela del video juego

Very Enjoyable. Everything I loved about the game in book form.

The story barely follows the game and completely disregards the story leading up to Knight. For example, Hugo Strange is alive and working with Zsasz. Quite disappointing
