News: Warner Bros has released some new content for Batman Arkham Knight featuring Batgirl and set before the events of Arkham Knight.

Warner Bros has revealed that new downloadable content is now available for Batman: Arkham Knight. Batgirl: A Matter of Family is now available for download for fans who have purchased the season pass for Batman: Arkham Knight. This content can also be purchased separately beginning on July 21 for $6.99 on Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network.

Set prior to the events of Batman: Arkham Asylum, Batgirl: A Matter of Family will allow players to take on the role of Batgirl for the first time in the Batman: Arkham franchise. When The Joker kidnaps Commissioner Gordon and holds him hostage at the Seagate Amusement Park, Batgirl and Robin must fight against the odds to save him and avoid falling victim to The Joker's sinister plan. Trained by Batman, Batgirl's combat combines with unparalleled hacking abilities to take down enemies, manipulate the environment and solve puzzles.

The Batgirl: A Matter of Family add-on content was developed by WB Games Montréal and was created using the Batman: Arkham Knight engine built by Rocksteady Studios. The remaining Batman: Arkham Knight Season Pass add-on content is under development by Rocksteady Studios. The Batman: Arkham Knight Season Pass includes an exclusive Flashpoint Batman Skin and delivers regular new content for six months featuring new story missions, more Super-Villains invading Gotham City, new legendary Batmobiles, advanced challenge maps, alternative character skins, and new drivable race tracks.

In the near future Warner Bros has also revealed that new season pass content will be coming in August including:

1989 Movie Batmobile Pack: Battle through the streets of Gotham City with this pack that includes the Batman skin and Batmobile from the 1989 Batman film, as well as two tracks inspired by the film’s sequel.
