Moon Knight is back after failing to secure a second season for his TV series, but he’s not in the Marvel Cinematic Universe anymore.

That’s right. There’s amodyou can download forBatman: Arkham Knightthat swaps the world’s greatest detective for Moon Knight instead, a fitting swap as Moon Knight is essentially Batman if he existed in the Marvel universe, and hassomesuperpowers.
He fits into the game like a glove with his cape swaying behind him as he perches on rooftops and getting his hands dirty as he pummels Gotham’s crime into a bloody red pulp.

For those wanting to experience the story ofBatman: Arkham Knightwith Moon Knight instead, you can do so for free via NexusMods, and it’s worth a new playthrough if it’s been a while as it’s arguably the best game in the trilogy.
