This is clearly exhibited in the new 7-minute gameplay video that puts the spotlight on the nifty, high-powered roadster. The lengthy "Time to Go to War" trailer, apart from showing the Dark Knight battling baddies and searching for Scarecrow in style by diving and flying through the thoroughfares and even making use of his trusty grappling hook, shows how cool the sleek new vehicle is.
