Batman: Arkham Knight Gets a Prequel Comic: Developer Rocksteadys upcoming Batman: Arkham Knight game will get a prequel comic book which follows the events of Batman: Arkham City, DC Comics has announced. The comics story begins right after the events of Arkham City, as Bruce Wayne recovers from his injuries and wonders if Gotham still needs Batman to survive. But as the sun rises in Gotham City, dangerous new threats emerge from the shadows…and the Arkham Knight is just beginning, DC said. Unlike the previous Arkham games, titular villain the Arkham Knight isnt based on a character that appeared in the Batman fiction previously, so this prequel comic could help introduce him. The comic book will be written by Peter J. Tomasi with art by Viktor Bogdanovic and Art Thibert. Dan Panosian will be the cover artist for the series. The first issue, on sale March 11, will include two variant covers, one by Gary Frank and the other will feature art from the game. Arkham Knight launches in June 2015 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. The game was originally targeted to launch this fall, but developer Rocksteady pushed it back to add more polish.
