Which game in the series introduced the Batmobile as a drivable vehicle?

Batman: Arkham Knight introduced the Batmobile as a drivable vehicle in the Arkham series. Released in 2015, the game lets Batman summon and drive the heavily armored vehicle throughout Gotham City, making it a central part of traversal, combat, and puzzle-solving rather than merely a background prop.

The Batmobile has two main modes. Pursuit Mode is designed for high-speed travel, races, jumps, and vehicle pursuits. Battle Mode transforms the car into a tank-like platform that can rotate in place and move laterally, allowing Batman to target drones and other threats with non-lethal weapons. Players can also use the vehicle remotely in certain situations.

The Batmobile is integrated into many of Arkham Knight's systems. It can smash through barricades, deploy a winch, scan environments, disable enemy vehicles with an EMP, and help solve Riddler challenges. Batman can eject from it into a glide, creating a seamless transition between driving and rooftop movement. Earlier games featured Batmobile sequences or references, but Arkham Knight was the first to make it directly drivable.
