Warner Bros revealed a few details regarding the controversial season pass that was announced earlier this week for the game, via the official Batman Arkham Knight facebook page.
“We’ve heard from our community that you want more information on what we’ll be delivering in the Season Pass. While we aren’t ready to unveil every aspect of the content we’ll be developing, we would like to share more detail now to give you a better sense of the scope of the Season Pass,”
Many fans were concerned for the high price of the DLC and whether it offer enough content to justify its price.
“We’ll be building more narrative, more missions, more challenges and more characters and vehicles that we want players to experience, even though they didn’t fit into the storyline of Batman: Arkham Knight,”
Details on the contents of the season pass can be viewed below:

The new "Dual Play" mechanic lets you switch seamlessly between The Dark Knight and his allies
The new feature that Game Director Sefton Hill has been teasing is a new co-op mode which looks simply amazing with Batman teaming up with Nightwing, Catwoman or Robin and executing some crazy tag team moves on the many enemies he faces throughout Gotham. Whether the new mode is part of a different campaign or part of a challenge is unclear at the moment but it's most definitely looking quite awesome.
For the first time ever, watch Batman: Arkham Knight’s exciting new "Dual Play" mechanic in action as you switch seamlessly between The Dark Knight and his allies including Robin, Nightwing, and Catwoman in free-flow combat.
Batman Arkham Knight is shaping up to be the best adventure of the caped crusader yet.
With a mature and deep story and an incredibly advanced fighting system, as is quite evident in the "All Who Follow You: Trailer as well as in the "Officer Down" trailer, it will most likely be one of the big contenders for Game of the Year.
Batman Arkham Knight PC System Requirements were revealed, and they do seem pretty demanding.
