Test Chamber – The First 30 Minutes Of Batman: Arkham Knight's Batgirl Prequel DLC
Batman: Arkham Knight's big story DLC, A Matter Of Family starring Batgirl, is available now for season pass holders, and we played through the first half-hour.
If you haven't beaten Arkham Knight yet, don't worry. There are no spoilers in A Matter of Family (at least not during the first 30 minutes) as the DLC takes place before the events of Arkham Asylum. In the DLC, players, as Batgirl, must take on the Joker and Harley Quinn without Batman's help after the two fiends kidnap Commissioner Gordon. Robin, however, is able to make an appearance. We'll have written impressions of the DLC soon, so make sure to keep an eye out for that.

And finally, for the feature I reference in the Test Chamber talking about the Batman Begins video game's influence on the Arkham series, head here.
For non-season pass holders, A Matter of Family will be available on July 21 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
