Without spoiling the story, Wolfman creates a gripping story that not only reads well but flows extremely well which should take most readers just a few days to complete. Who is the Arkham Knight and why does he want Batman to pay? These questions are answered in the novel and needless to say, Batman is taken on a deadly game of cat and mouse with his rogue’s gallery always one step ahead of our hero. Unfortunately, a new villain has risen from the destruction, the Arkham Knight, a leader of a criminal paramilitary organisation who wants the caped crusader to pay for his past crimes. With the majority of the citizens from Gotham City fleeing, only Batman and the Gotham PD attempt to hold its criminal underworld at bay but they are losing the battle. Set in the final game of the series, Batman’s nemesis Scarecrow has unleashed a toxin on Gotham City which sees this metropolis on the verge of chaos. The novel at over 300 pages is also well written by Wolfman who successfully expands on the story from the video game by Rocksteady Studios with some great twists along the way. What is interesting about this gaming universe is that the Joker died in the previous game which creates a very emotional journey for Bruce Wayne (aka Batman). Written by legendary comic scribe Marv Wolfman ( Crisis on Infinite Earths, The Amazing Spider-man), BATMAN ARKHAM KNIGHT is the official novelisation of the hit 2015 video game of the same name which gives readers a further layer of this extraordinary gaming universe.
