"This is no movie trailer. Despite the narrator's cinematic voice, the video above is actually for Batman: Arkham Knight, the finale in the Arkham game series.\nThe trailer teases intense game-play, and most importantly, the newly-designed Batmobile will be driveable for the first time in this franchise. The game will feature an open-world Gotham that is supposedly going to be larger than the world in Batman: Arkham City.\nSee also: 3 Times Nintendo Brought Itself Back From The Brink\nIn the game, Batman must protect Gotham City from the return of Scarecrow and his gang of super villains including Penguin, Two-Face and Harley Quinn. \nThe official release date is still unknown, however the game's publisher confirmed a 2014 release to Kotaku for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.\nBONUS: 5 Video Games That Would Make Amazing TV Shows\n\n\n\nVideo Games That Would Make Amazing TV Shows\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1. Borderlands 2\n\n\nIt would be easy to cast Gearbox Software\u2019s Borderlands 2 as a cartoony action series, but it could have a better future.\nImagine instead an action-packed, sci-fi satire that, despite its genre associations, has the most in common with snarky, satirical black comedies about people making bad choices in bad circumstances. Think Weeds or Don Cheadle\u2019s House of Lies. We see shades of Firefly too, with the space western vibe.\nAnd just imagine that theme from The Heavy that appears at the end of the above intro sequence playing every week. It\u2019d be iconic in no time, just like The Heavy\u2019s other big songs; the band once contributed a theme and closing credits for True Blood.\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, CutsceneGaming\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. Mass Effect\n\n\nOngoing interstellar sagas have long been a staple of the small screen, but we\u2019ve been missing them lately. The last Star Trek series went off the air almost nine years ago, and while Battlestar Galactica was a hit, it was short-lived.\nSure, you\u2019ve got Doctor Who, but there\u2019s no replacement for a good space opera, with warring interstellar civilizations and heroic military crews discovering unspeakable threats and saving the galaxy on a weekly basis. The lack of a new TV show like that might be because from 2007 to 2012, sci-fi geeks were telling their own interactive stories in BioWare\u2019s Mass Effect saga.\nIf you\u2019ve seen shows like Star Trek and played Mass Effect, this one doesn't really need a sales pitch. It\u2019s a surefire win. Just make sure Commander Shepard is played by a killer lady -- true gamers know FemShep is the real Shepard.\n\n\nImage:  BioWare\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. Clumsy Ninja\n\n\nConsole and PC games don\u2019t have a monopoly on great characters who would adapt well for television. There are plenty to pick from -- an overwhelming number, really -- but one really stands out.\nAngry Birds might seem like an obvious choice due to its popularity, but Clumsy Ninja, whose developer was just purchased by Zynga of FarmVille fame, strikes a chord with its cute protagonist who is finding his feet in the world and stumbling more than a few times along the way.\nKids will relate, and of course there\u2019s plenty of opportunity for daring action and slapstick comedy. Ninjas never go out of style -- they wear black, after all.\n\n\nImage:  Sam Axon\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. Red Dead Redemption\n\n\nThe Western used to be one of television\u2019s most popular genres, but it has never been a big hit with gamers. That\u2019s why it was such a surprise that 2010\u2019s most critically acclaimed game, Red Dead Redemption, brought cowboys back into the pop culture lexicon for just a little while.\nWritten and produced by the same team that\u2019s behind Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption was a cynical look at the early American west. Its tragic hero was relatable for both his desperation and his dry comments.\nWe could see a serial drama in the vein of The Walking Dead or Breaking Bad that explores the darker, rougher side of the great American frontier. Make it happen, AMC.\n\n\nImage:  Rockstar Games\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim\n\n\nRemember '90s TV, when Hercules and Xena wandered a vague approximation of Ancient Greece, doing heroic good deeds for whichever town-in-distress needed it that week? That pretty much describes the gameplay experience of 2011 RPG mega-hit The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim to a T, only it\u2019s a Nordic fantasy province instead of a cheeky classical realm.\nMix that proven sword-and-sorcery formula with a catalog of lore as detailed and deep as that of The Lord of the Rings, and you can see the appeal. \nIf gamers can find more than 200 hours of content to play through in each Elder Scrolls game, then a great showrunner could easily find 10 seasons of stories to tell in Tamriel. Plus, Skyrim has sold 20 million copies. If all those gamers tuned in every week, the show would be as big as American Idol.\n\n\nImage:  Bethesda Software\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHave something to add to this story?
