Let’s take a moment to analyze what’s going on here: It’s a scene on a train, obviously. But besides that, it’s got a “bystander” feel to it, and it looks like it could be a live action trailer in the making.
If you’ll recall, Scarecrow sent out a warning for the people of Gotham to evacuate, and this could be what the trailer will revolve around. It may not be about Batman or Arkham Knight, but it will be about the goings-on through the eyes of a civilian. After seeing all the action in the previous trailers highlight the main characters, it would be interesting to see it all happening from the perspective of those who were quietly living their lives. This would add a bit more depth to the Arkham universe that players will be moving in.
All this is just speculation, though. Adding a little extra to the atmosphere of the in-game universe wouldn’t hurt, but we’re still hoping for a live action shot of Batman or even Arkham Knight, at this point. Getting to see that would be pretty awesome, while still leaving us wanting more.
