Gotham Knights has a large sandbox for players to explore, and depending on which hero you choose, Batman’s proteges all have a unique method for getting around the city. Red Hood taps into mystical powers to create spiritual platforms that he can leap off of, Batgirl has a more traditional gliding mechanic, and Nightwing takes to the sky with a device that fans have jokingly referred to as a Fortnite glider.
In a Discord A&A session, creative director Patrick Redding explained the inspiration behind the glider that’s nicknamed “the Flying Trapeze” in Gotham Knights. Developer Warner Bros. Montreal took inspiration from some of the classic issues of the Nightwing comic book series where he made use of several jet-powered gliders that echoed his circus upbringing.
