A new trailer for "Batman: Arkham Knight" is set to give fans a firsthand look at some exciting new additions to the game, including a returning character, and an exciting new feature. The news of the upcoming trailer and what it may contain came directly from the Twitter account of the game's director, Sefton Hill.
Not to rub it in but I reviewed the latest edit and it's looking sweet. You might well see someone familiar from Arkham City in there.

Speculation about who the character may be and what the feature is has been rampant ever since Hill's tweets.
The character in question could possibly be revealed as the villainous Hush, according to Game Informer. There are other possibilties for who the trailer may re-introduce fans to. The "Batman" universe certainly has a deep roster of unique individuals to choose from in terms of being a hype man for the newest game.
Other possibilities for this role include Robin, Two Face, and none other than the iconic Joker. The latter of the three could be tougher to pull off however, given that the man who voiced him for the previous games of the franchise, Mark Hamill, is seemingly unavailable because of his role in the upcoming "Star Wars" movie, according to WCCF Tech.
Unfortunately, no one knows what the feature could be as of yet, but it is expected to be a significant addition considering the hype. While the news surrounding the game at present is mostly about yet to be revealed game elements, there are aspects of the game that have already been confirmed.
The game is already confirmed to feature a new main villain, to be played by the "Arkham Knight." Much is yet to be known about the villain specially made for the game other than his brutal nature, according to Tech Times.
"Batman: Arkham Knight" will also feature a more fully-realized Batmobile. Unlike in earlier games from the franchise when the famous car was little more than just a prop, the latest installment will integrate it more seamlessly into gameplay while also giving players more chances to use it.
"Batman: Arkham Knight" will be available on the PC, Playstation 4, and Xbox One beginning June 23.
