Developer Rocksteady has released the first episode of its new weekly community show.

In episode 1 of "Arkham Insider," Rocksteady dug deeper into the design created for the upcoming Caped Crusader title. According to Liam Ashley, community manager for the company, the community show is for hardcore fans who want to know the nitty-gritty details on "Batman: Arkham Knight".

Ashley said, "We've been cape stunned by calls from across the Arkham community to know more about the finer details of 'Batman: Arkham Knight' and to learn more about Rocksteady Studios, so we've created this new show in order to bring our fans what they've been asking for — more details, new gameplay, and a window into the world of Rocksteady Studios." 

The video, available on the official Batman Arkham YouTube channel, then proceeded to get into some of the finer points of the game. 

Simply put, the dual-play feature to be introduced in "Batman: Arkham Knight" will allow players to switch controls to the many allies Batman will encounter and team up with. Assists will come from some of the popular faces in the Batman world, including Robin, Nightwing, and Catwoman. 

In other related news, WB Games will be offering a bundle for pre-orders of the upcoming game. Currently, Amazon lists the "Batman Arkham Knight: The Serious Edition" for the Playstation 4, and there are reports that the comic bundle will also be available for Xbox One players.
