Batman: Arkham Knight Live Action Trailer Calls on You to Be The Batman

It’s a little cheesy but it does its job.

Rocksteady has released a new live action trailer for Batman: Arkham Knight, which encourages people to "be determined, be confident, be feared, be the Batman".

The video shows several people in different scenarios, passengers on a train watching as thugs beat up an old man, a man in a dark alley about to be pounced on by thieves, and an athlete getting ready to enter an arena.

Naturally, they're suddendly inspired to stand up for themselves and what is right.

At the end of the trailer there is some gameplay and we get brief glimpses of the Dark Knight, Catwoman, and Scarecrow, as well as explosions, gunfire, and the Batmobile.

Be the Batman was directed by Tim Cronenweth and Jeff Cronenweth (director of photography for Gone Girl, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and Fight Club), while Trent Reznor worked as music consultant on the video, which features “The Wretched” by Nine Inch Nails.

Batman: Arkham Knight launches for PC, PS4, and Xbox One June 23rd, with a $40 season pass also available.
