Subject: Batman: Arkham Knight--<<UPDATED WITH COMPLETE DLC LISTING TO THE END OF 2015>>
Starting a new thread for this since the old one was last posted in November.
For the first time ever, watch Batman: Arkham Knight’s exciting new “Dual Play” mechanic in action as you switch seamlessly between The Dark Knight and his allies including Robin, Nightwing, and Catwoman in free-flow combat.

Reading the comics for "Arkham Knight"(which lead in to the game),
Spoiler:
Joker is very much dead dead dead.
That should probably be spoilered (which I've added to my quote)...
In any event, I'm pretty confident it's not him. I know I wasn't the only one feeling a bit fatigued with a certain character after Origins, and I suspect that the developers know that the fans would like to see someone new in the spotlight. I've no clue who it is (could be a Scarecrow fear-induced illusion, for all I know), but I'm confident that it's not him.

Reading the tie-in comic to Mortal Kombat X, another WB game, the book might as well not exist for all it has to do (or not do) with the finished game, so I wouldn't trust that.
The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

True, yes, I don't think they'd go to this much trouble to say "Totally not the Joker!" only to turn around and go "LOL! He was totally the Joker all along!".
Doing that would just piss everyone off, and I say this as someone who loved the Joker reveal in Arkham Origins.
Details released by Warner Brothers/Rocksteady on their forums regarding the Arkham Knight season pass:
Batgirl: A Matter of Family
An all new prequel story expansion in an entirely new location where you play as Batgirl for the very first time in the Arkham series – check out the first render of Batgirl.
The Season of Infamy
Play as Batman in all new story missions featuring legendary super-villains invading Gotham City, with new story arcs, missions and gameplay features.
Gotham City Stories
Play as Batman’s key allies in narrative missions extending their storylines, from both before and after the events in Batman: Arkham Knight.
Legendary Batmobiles with Themed Tracks
Drive the most iconic Batmobiles from Batman’s 75-year history, on custom-built race tracks, each themed to that Batmobile’s specific era. Every Batmobile will be drivable across every race track.
Crimefighter Challenge Maps
Engage in a series of new challenge maps utilizing the unique play styles of Batman and his allies.
Character Skins
A variety of skins from across the eras for Batman, Robin, Nightwing and Catwoman.
They released this information in response to backlash from fans regarding the $40 USD cost of the season pass when the item was listed. No details have been released yet as to how the DLC will actually be released, aside from the content being spread out over "a six month period".
I thought Stephanie Brown was just Robin and Spoiler? I don't remember her being Batgirl.
Is Barbara Gordon confirmed as being Oracle again? It's possible that they've pulled her out of the tower as they've done in the comic books, and have Alfred operating as mission control this time around.

She's confirmed as Oracle, but the specific details of the Batgirl DLC is that it is a "prequel".
Whether that means a prequel to the series before Barbara becomes Oracle or to Arkham Knight? Nobody knows for sure yet. Warner Brothers/Rocksteady said they will release more details as we get closer to release.
Cassandra Cain would be the most interesting option, imo, and my personal choice if Barbara Gordon (who is the "prime" Batgirl, so to speak) is out. But she's got a distinctive costume - particularly the mask - and the Batgirl in the image isn't wearing her outfit.
Regardless of who she turns out to be, I hope she's playable within the game proper, and not just a stand-alone chapter. And if she turns out to be Barbara Gordon, then I hope they have a rational reason for her to be both acting as Oracle, and running around in the cape and cowl.
I've been reading that it's a standalone DLC type thing. - It's also mentioned to be a prequel. Although it's unclear just how much of a prequel it is.
So, it could be Barbara (though in that case, I thought the red hair would be more distinctive), if it's an early prequel.
