Pretty much.
I wonder if they're using this technology for the "transforming" bat mobile.

Awesome. Take time to polish it to be as good as it can get. Don't give a fuck like Rockstar and make it as good as possible. They know the game will sell anyway. Releasing it just before E3 and in the beginning of the Summer lull is a great move imho.

Does anyone know what the batmobile transforms into? Is it the statue from thr 100$ set? I really want the 100 one but am willing to get the big 200$ if transforms into something like the batman statue.

I'm so okay with this. Game looked awesome already, more time in the oven can only make it better.

Damn I was expecting it in February or March, June's a long time to wait for some Batman.

(Nearly) everything was 2015...
I hope the delay means we get to play as Nightwing aka Dick Grayson. FFS... we got Tim Drake Robin in AC and supposed to be getting DLC for Jason Todd but no love for the first Robin? Rocksteady pls...

I love the old Arkham games, but i have a feeling they focused too much on the Batmobile. I don`t want Batman: the Batmobile game.
Wait, June?
That is a long ass delay when you take into consideration that it was first said to come in october (even if it was doubtful back then). I wonder what happened for them to think they need this much more time. Not concerned btw. Maybe they thought of some awesome mechanic/thingie to implement that would really enhance the experience and need time for that?

The delay kinda bums me out because I really want whatever their next game is. I'm suffering from a little too much Batman. I will still get this but I would love to see Rocksteady focus on something else.

It might be for performance reasons and other... I read rumours it ran like ass in real time demos. We can all agree it's of ambitious scale too. I'm honestly not surprised, but that's almost a 4 year dev cycle at that point... If it doesn't crush expectations that's a waste.

a lot of delays aren't for "optimizations" like publishers try to say.
Has to do more with "oh shit, CoD/Bungie game/AssCreed/25 other titles release in these two months, lets delay so our game sells more than 5 copies"
and since February was also kind of stacked, might as well move it to a date where you'll be by yourself. Watch Dogs sold like 8 million because it was a new game where everyone was bored.
Er, Nightwing was playable in AC.

Games released early June/ Late May are always the best. Take your time, Rocksteady; make something that tops the first one.

I keep seeing this, what the hell is stacked so high in Q1?

WB Games has a impressive upcoming lineup...
Shadow of Mordor end of Sept
Lego Batman 3 in Nov.
The Witcher 3 and Dying Light in Feb
Mortal Kombat X in April
I wouldn't of been surprised if WB told them to hold off and take however long they needed to make it great. Always seems to be a drought in the Summer. It could be a great spot in June.

Great news. While the wait sucks, it coming out in June will help woth the summer drought. Plus, there's already too many games I need to buy between now and then

Das too far away.
Sounds plausible. I'll let other games soothe my pain in Q1 then.
Yeahh, Dick deserves his own DLC chapter !!!

I was thinking the same thing back when they announced they were removing it from October. The Joke's on me, cause I thought the same thing when I thought Batman and Witcher were gonna drop around the same time as well. : /
