* SequenceBreaking: It's possible to finish Catwoman's sidequest and fully defeat Riddler ''before'' beating the main story, which ends with [[spoiler: Batman's true identity being revealed to the world.]] In the cutscene after beating Riddler, Catwoman calls Batman "Bruce." Whether this is meant to indicate that Selina always knew Bruce's secret or is just an oversight based on the developers assuming the player wouldn't finish the Riddler sidequest until after beating the main story is a source of some debate.

The Arkham Knight [[spoiler: is eventually revealed to be Jason Todd, the [[FallenHero former Robin]] who was [[BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil horribly tortured]] by the Joker and left for the dead. Batman only feels remorse for Jason.]] Scarecrow, on the other hand, is nothing more than a vicious and [[{{Sadist}} sadistic]] criminal with no redeeming qualities, who only wants to bring down Gotham City and his saviour at all costs. [[spoiler: In the end, Jason pulls a HeelFaceTurn and saves Bruce from Scarecrow, the latter [[ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine gets reduced to an eternally scared shadow of himself with his fear toxin]]]]

Unlike the previous three games, ''Arkham Knight'' is exclusive to the Platform/PlayStation4, Platform/XboxOne, and [[Platform/MicrosoftWindows Windows]] [=PCs=].

It was released on June 23, 2015 on all platforms, then taken down from Steam for a period of 4 months, until October 28th, 2015.
A Season Pass for multiple [[DownloadableContent DLC]] packs was announced. This included pre-order DLC as Red Hood and Harley Quinn. This was followed by a {{Prequel}} set before ''Arkham Asylum'' (''A Matter of Family'') starring Batgirl, several challenge rooms and Batmobile race tracks. This in turn was followed by additional post-launch content, with episodes featuring other members of the Batfamily and a villains pack (''The Season of Infamy'') featuring Killer Croc, Mr. Freeze, Ra's al Ghul and the Mad Hatter. On December 15, 2023, the suit from ''Film/TheBatman2022'' was added to the game as the final piece of post-launch content, two weeks after debuting in the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch port.
A Platform/MacOS and Linux/ [=SteamOS=] port was also planned for release in Late-2015, and was to be released by Creator/FeralInteractive, but plans were scrapped and canned in Early 2016.
