Burbank, Calif. - Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment today announced Batman : Arkham VR, the very first virtual reality experience that allows fans to Be the Batman like never before.

Delving deep into an all-new Batman: Arkham mystery, those who enter this virtual reality world must think like Batman and utilize his legendary gadgets to unravel a plot that threatens the lives of his closest allies.
