The Batman: Arkham Knight release date arrived recently to excitement and applause from fans. However, the joy was somewhat short-lived when gamers got details of how much the DLC Pass would cost.

For those who haven't heard yet, the Batman: Arkham Knights Season Pass DLC from Warner Bros. and Rocksteady costs $39.99.

Price-wise, that monthly fee may not be a massive concern for hardcore games who are willing to pay top dollar for proven quality game, however for floating fans it may be a decisive factor.

In an attempt to warm fans to the new DLC Pass, Warner Bros. has released some details about the features fans may expect for the Batman: Arkham Knight Season Pass.

Among the things to expect for Batman: Arkham Knight include:

Batgirl: A Matter of Family
Gamers can venture out and see what prequel lies ahead if you play Batgirl. This will be the very first time that Batgirl would be involved in an Arkham series.

Season of Infamy
Gamers will of course choose to play Batman and can look forward to new story missions. The Dark Knight will face off against the super villains who plan to bring nothing but trouble to Arkham.

For now, those were the details revealed by Warner Bros and presumably a whole lot more.

With those minor details out and more to come, does it justify paying $39.99 for the Season Pass?
