Bleake Island
Batman™: Arkham Knight guide · Returning to the initial island for main story progression
← All areas in this guide
Returning to Bleake Island during the main story involves re-securing the island, often to access the Gotham City Police Department (GCPD) lockup or disable militia checkpoints and watchtowers. You will navigate the dense, rain-slicked city streets and rooftops using both Batman's grapnel mobility and the Batmobile's heavy weaponry. Objectives in this region frequently center on defending key locations from Arkham Knight militia assaults and tracking down leads on Scarecrow's operations.
