It’s finally June, and we have just 22 days left until Batman: Arkham Knight drops. We’ve talked about the skins, the stories, the exclusive DLC, and even criticized Robin’s buzz cut. We already know how many Riddler trophies there’ll be, and we’ve been challenged to #BeTheBatman. Are you ready to step up to the plate?
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD. They’re not necessarily going to completely ruin your game, but if you want to jump in fresh, this is not a list you should be looking at.
There is a total of 69 achievements in Arkham Knight, and the trophies are named after comic book arcs. Each achievement gives varying amounts of gamerscore (if you’re playing on Xbox One), which hints at just how big a part of the game they might be. The whole set is worth 1,000 gamerscore, if that’s something you’re concerned about. Some of these achievements sound pretty interesting:

A few of them sound a bit crazy, while others appear to be in place to motivate you to move forward in the story. Let’s see how it all turns out when we get our hands on the game.
Batman: Arkham Knight drops on June 23 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
