Montreal standalone RPG adventure game Gotham Knights.

How Batman Dies in Gotham Knights?
You will watch the opening scene of the Gotham Knights glued to the screen, thanks to an apocalyptic battle between Batman and Ra’s al Ghul. The fight has a world-changing outcome.
The game starts with Bruce Wayne on tape proclaiming the ever-dreadful sentence, ‘if you are watching this, I am dead.’
Then, you are up for some epic fight moves from both protagonists. Ra’s al Ghul is on the winning side, thanks to the infamous Lazarus Pit and its powers.
Batman stops al Ghul’s sword attack. However, he stabs himself with al Ghul’s own weapon.
The next thing we know, Batman activates the Batcave’s self-destruct system, and the entire cave and the mansion end up in ruins. The Gotham Knights squad later finds his body under one of many Batcave ruins. So, here is your answer on how Batman dies in Gotham Knights.
Is Batman Really Dead?
However, the mighty hero is brought back to life later in the game. This isn’t done by Gotham Knights but by Talia al Ghul, the sinister daughter of Batman’s fearsome enemy. She reveals her master plan to dip Bruce Wayne’s body into the Lazarus Pit, flip him to the dark side thanks to the Pit’s side effect, and conquer Gotham and the world.

You fight with Bruce in the ending stages of the game, but it turns out that Lazarus Pit’s effects are short-lived. As he comes up to his senses, Talia interferes and stabs him. Injured Bruce wanders off while you are left to fight Ra’s al Ghul’s daughter.
Batman then hurdles down the Batplane with him on board into the Lazarus Pit. With this, he destroys it and kills the entire spawn of Talon minions in the area. Unfortunately, following his heroic actions, Batman dies in Gotham Knights.
Gotham Knights are available on Xbox Series X and Series S, PlayStation 5, and PC.
