[Arkham Knight] Why don't the military get involved?

So from what I've seen from the trailers and such, it is basically Batman vs all the rogues gallery and a huge military force.

Wouldn't this be seen as a takeover by the Military of the U.S.A? Why don't they come to the aid of Gotham?

Each one of the Arkham games takes place over the span of a single night. No reason to believe this one won't as well. Which means there would be barely enough time for the military to know what was even going on, with all the confused reports that would be coming out of the city, much less mobilize any sort of force to counter it.

Though, to be fair, it isn't like the government hasn't simply abandoned Gotham to it's fate before. No Man's Land comes to mind, where Gotham gets wrecked by a giant earthquake and rather than provide relief and try to rebuild the government just evacuates who they can and says "Fuck it" to the rest.
