A new PC mod called ArkWeb lets players web-swing through Batman: Arkham Knight’s Gotham as Spider-Man, by running Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered and Arkham Knight at the same time on one PC.
The open-source project, posted to GitHub by modder luki-1, uses Spider-Man’s own swinging, wall running and point launches while pulling in Gotham’s collision data from Arkham Knight.
Spider-Man Remastered runs hidden in the background, while Arkham Knight stays on screen. A script scans Gotham in tiles and feeds its buildings into Spider-Man’s physics, building them about 2km above New York so Spider-Man can’t invisible ledges.
Spider-Man is then drawn into Arkham’s view in place of Batman, who moves around invisibly to match his position.
Combat is handed over to Arkham Knight’s own fighting system, with Spider-Man copying Batman’s poses each frame.
The creator describes the project as experimental. Gotham’s collision can be hollow, swinging too fast into an unloaded district can leave gaps, and Spider-Man can look dark in places because his lighting still comes from New York’s time of day.
Setup involves Steam copies of both games, Spider-Man Remastered on version 4.0630, an Xbox-style controller and several developer tools.
