Following the earlier leak, Game Informer has gone live with its cover reveal of Arkham Knight.
As you'd expect, the accompanying write-up corroborates much of what we said below. The Batmobile is explained as a "core element" of gameplay, which means a new area of Gotham larger than Arkham City will be revealed, including wider streets to accommodate the vehicle.
According to VideoGamer.com, the listing notes that Arkham Knight is the “explosive finale” to the revived Batman videogame series started by Rocksteady with 2009’s Batman: Arkham Asylum. Scarecrow, Penguin, Two-Face, and Harley Quinn are confirmed villains that will appear in the game.

I'll be honest, the idea of a next gen Batman game makes me a little excited. I was a big fan of the first two games although not so much of the last one which was developed by someone other than Rocksteady. It's great to keep hearing about so many new games in development, I just hope they save some announcements for E3. How do you guys feel about the Arkham series?
Update: Major US retailer GameStop has listed Batman: Arkham Knight's release date as October 14, 2014. October 14 is a Tuesday -- the traditional day games are released in the US -- indicating this isn't a placeholder, but the actual release date.
