'Being the Batman' now includes selling Muse albums in the new trailer

We've been through a lot of Batman Arkham Knight trailers now. There's only a matter of weeks to go and the desire to hang off Gotham's gargoyles is becoming painful. Yet this TV spot somehow manages to eclipse the weirdness of the live action Batman Arkham Knight trailer and goes straight to song plugging territory. Sure there's incredible looking gameplay - ooh look at the way his cape flutters in the breeze from the helicopter - but there's also a thematically redundant new song from Muse that just screams cross promotion. We haven't had a pairing this awkward in Gotham since nipples met the Batsuit.
