Game company Rocksteady vows to make the Batmobile as grand as it can get in "Batman: Arkham Knight" in recognition of the title being the epic conclusion to its celebrated video game trilogy. 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.

The vehicle is incredibly nimble, which makes it the perfect companion for the Caped Crusader as he looks over his beloved home. Its usability comes in handy in the game's sprawling Gotham City map, which is five times larger than Arkham City that took players 50 hours to explore. It remains to be seen how the vehicle's speed will impact this but the Batmobile, nonetheless, is one Rocksteady is proud of and most excited about, and it will be something players won't get enough of. 

Meanwhile, with the game's release fast approaching, Rocksteady is working hard on scaling up the hype further. New promotional posters for the game have been released. Following the release of a cool snap of Robin is a poster of Catwoman who looks ready for a throwdown. 

The full achievement list for the game, which totals to 69, has also been released. The highest gamescore players can scoop up is 50 and it definitely won't be easy netting 100 percent. For the entire achievement record, visit this site.

Those who pre-order the title will get a Harley Quinn Story Pack, which will allow gamers to play as the villain in a different environment. Other bonuses include for Harley Quinn challenge maps and a special skin inspired by Batman's first appearance. PS4 players will also snag the Scarecrow Nightmare Missions for free, allowing them to play in surreal driving levels as well as endowing them three skins, namely Batman 3000, Classic TV series (Adam West), and a Classic TV skin for the Batmobile. Retailers have several other exclusives on offer, too.

"Batman: Arkham Knight" will be released on June 23.
