Batman Arkham Knight has had one of the worst PC game launches in living memory, and it has pushed Warner Bros Games to suspend sales of the game until it can be fixed. The game publisher has post an apology to its fans on the official Arkham Knight forums, and has asked for patience while the game is being fixed. It has also reminded fans who bought the game that they can ask for refunds on Steam if they are not willing to wait.
The following is the apology posted in full:

Arkham Knight has experienced significant performance issues on the PC, and many gamers have seen frame rates drop into single digits computers running on AMD graphics cards. While the problems were attributed to the NVIDIA Gameworks, many have still experienced crashes and memory leaks even with the Gameworks options turned off.
