Saw this in NeoGAF... Looks to be from the Game Informer article.
-Last Batman game for Rocksteady, will work on something totally new next.
-There will be a brand new villain, something made by Rocksteady that they say will be the ultimate test for Batman
-Batmobile can be called at any moment with a button.
-The city streets are much wider to allow for the batmobile. You will rocket jump off ramps and do all sorts of cool maneuvers.
-You can eject jump out of the batmobile right into a super fast glide straight through the glass of a building to knock out enemies. They said glass breaking will be a big new thing.
-New moves include being able to use all your gadgets during flight. You now have a counter throw where you counter a guy and throw him into another guy. A new quick ground takedown. A quick backflip where you then throw a batarang in an enemies face.
-For the predator sections you can now chain takedowns of up to four enemies. For instance pop out of a grate and take one guy, jump to the next and so on.
-You can now enter grates from a distance, he will automatically do a jump or roll to enter them.
-Riddler challenges seem to be car based. The first one has you enter a sort of Riddler race track where you have to activate walls and ramps, when you activate one another closes so as you drive you have to be constantly turning on and off these ramps as you navigate the course.
-Batmobile fires missles and stun guns. It destroys anything it touches so if you bump into cars the cars go flying. It's basically unstoppable.
-Story is that after Joker's death all the criminals decided to work together and their plan comes together this night where they plan to kill batman. The article talks mostly about Scarecrow, he scattered bombs throughout Gotham.
-Oracle will play a larger role, you get to visit her base and talk to her, tons of batman easter eggs included.
-Kevin Conroy is Batman, all the previous voice actors are back.
-Gotham City is 5 times bigger than AC. Split into 3 areas. NO LOAD TIMES at all, entering buildings is seamless.
-They spend a bunch of time talking about how detailed the models are, one character has more polygons than the environment of Asylum.
-Batman will start off with the old batsuit and upgrade at some point in the game.
-It says it is running on their modified Unreal engine.
- All quickfire gadgets can now be used during flight.
- Combat tweaks (note: Not enough time to go over these in detail. for example, you can throw by tilting left towards the opponent and hitting counter)
- Arkham Knight isn't just the name of the game.. it's also the name of the [new] villain.
- Fear Takedowns. ie, burst out of grate, action slows down allowing you to target another goon for another attack and so on. Can be used on groups up to 3 as long as they're close enough together and no one has already spotted Batman.
- They seem to try to tackle the old school Arkham issue of "open door - black screen loading"
- The game looks gorgeous. Huge.
-"This is a single-player game. There is no multiplayer."
- You can launch into a fast glide from the Batmobile just like the trailer.

Pimp Pinguin, bordello Harley... I see a trend here
Another thing is their faces are completely different from previous games.

I bought the digital version of Game Informer that was just released, and I'll see if I have anything for you guys.
Oh ****!!!!
Sounds amazing, and that's quite a list. I think I'll need time to think about some of those things. It kind of sucks that there's no online for this.

Indeed it all sounds amazing!
I love the part about him starting with the old suit, I much rather to see that one than that ugly new armor and Bale cowl.
Also love the part about a new Villain, let's see if Rocksteady is good enough to add to the lore.
I don't care about online though

The penguin got a nose-job and a face-lift.
And Harley got a **** reduction.

All Awesome news, Thanks for sharing
Looking very forward to this. All the new features sound promising. 
I quite enjoyed Origins as well, I guess I'm easily pleased when it comes to playing Batman.

The last time a video game tried to add a villain we got Sin Tzu. I hope the writer's are up to the task.
Everything else, looks amazing. This and MGSV just confirm my need for a PS4.

Ditto.
This is going to far surpass MGSV, it won't even be close.

Not a competition as far as I'm concerned. I am excited for both. Throw in Infamous and I can justify the cost of a new console. I love the Arkhamverse, and news of this and the DC Animated film in the same space is awesome. And MGSV looks to be amazing as well. New games in 2 of my favorite series(which is helped by not having yearly releases) makes me excited.

Add those to a next gen Uncharted and a (PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN) a TLOU sequel...
Along other great titles being made for Next gen, I can say that it is a great time to be a PS4 owner.
F$&k the Xbox1.

I can't fathom V delivering on the same level as this. AA was amazing, AC was a stroke of genius, I just can't see this doing anything but something surreal.
If it turns out V is amazing, I'll take it back. But aside from the engine and graphics, the story seems to be same hokey thing from Peace Walker.
Not trying to stoke another fire argument in here by the way

I guess the Arkham Knight was created by Geoff Johns. It's cool that they're getting creative, but I don't think originality was necessary in this case. If you're looking for an evil Batman, it's not exactly hard to find one. Off the top of my head, I can think of Prometheus and The Wrath, and that's not even counting the alternate earth variations.
