Nightwing and the Tumbler Come to Arkham Knight, Catwoman and Batman '66 on the Way

As promised, there's a new update for Batman: Arkham Knight available today that brings the Tumbler from Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy to the video game. There'll be a pair of new race tracks based on those movies, too.
