“Batman’s no-kill philosophy is pretty non-negotiable,” Ginn said. The game itself facilitates that, of course; thugs you’re speeding toward will try to get the hell out of your way, and those who don’t will be zapped by this Batmobile’s auto-taser gun.

You will naturally have car chases, but the most intriguing-looking use of the Batmobile we saw came in the form of a Riddler challenge. Mr. Nigma has this time set up a series of obstacle courses for Batman to drive through. We saw one of these, in which you must drive through the course three times under a time limit, with the trick being that the course will change a bit each time, with movable obstacle you’ll need to trigger with a button press as you go.

So at one point you’ll come up on, say a wall that you hit the action button to make it slide out of your way, but doing so brings out a second wall beyond the first, and you’ll have to hit the button again to move that second one but not until you’ve passed the location of the first one. That sort of thing is common, and there are similar spots involving moving platforms you’ll have to trigger at the right moment to cross large gaps. It’s platform-style racing, more or less.

Oh, and you can also drive on the walls and ceiling.
