With the first playthrough of Batman Arkham City complete, the main menu will then play host to a New Game + option, where you can play through again with all the gadgets and upgrades you acquired the first time around intact.
“When you finish the main story mode, you can then restart that with all of the gadgets and all of the upgrades you got in that first playthrough,” Rocksteady’s Dax Ginn explained to GameTrailers at PAX.
