Happy holidays! Here, have some deranged psychopaths.

Batman: Arkham Knight is one of our favorite games of the year, and it gets bigger this week with The Season of Infamy. Four new "Most Wanted" missions add a group of long-time Gotham baddies to the game: Killer Croc, Mr. Freeze, Mad Hatter and Ra's al Ghul.

Most Wanted missions are among Arkham Knight's more elaborate optional activities, giving players an opportunity to track down noted comic book villains as the World's Greatest Detective. They're not central to the main story, but cleaning them all up is required to see the game's true ending.

Rocksteady Studios offers a look at the Infamy add-on in the latest episode of "Arkham Insider," an insider-focused YouTube series that peers behind the scenes. Give it a watch to get a sense of what to expect from each of the four new stories.

There's also a vague hint from director Sefton Hill that this isn't Rocksteady's final work on Batman. There's not much to take from the brief cut to static, but it looks like some shady individual -- possibly the Scarecrow -- is due for a return.

The Season of Infamy packs -- which also adds the 2008 movie Batsuit for Batman to wear -- arrives on Dec. 22.
