'Batman: Arkham Knight' update: complete season pass details, Batgirl included

 WB Games

The past week was drop-big-"Batman: Arkham Knight"-bombshells week, and it was revealed that the Caped Crusader's super friends, namely Robin, Azkael, Catwoman and Nightwing, would be included in the game.  

Game publisher Warner Brothers also brought in the season pass for the title and it promises content that will get gamers occupied for six months. As it turns out, this season pass also happens to be the sole way players will be able to play as Batgirl.

It will be the first time the martial arts expert will be seen fighting crime in the wildly popular "Arkham" series. The $39.99 season pass has an "all new prequel story expansion in an entirely new location" where players could assume her role. 

Game developer Rocksteady guarantees gamers that the title will be a mind-blowing conclusion to the action-packed "Arkham" video game series, not only for its indescribably massive environment but also for its array of cool new features such as players' newfound ability to switch between characters during battle. The title brings together a cosmic roster of friends and foes from Batman mythology. 

The game studio has never been so ambitious and it had a meteoric vision for "Batman: Arkham Knight" and some of it went to the season pass, where more narrative, more missions, more challenges and more characters and vehicles are included. Here is the complete list of goodies contained on the season pass courtesy of WB Games.
