Very seldom I'll get a false game startup. Before you click Play again, open the Task Manager. Next time the mini-splash screen loads but the game doesn't, check to see if the game is running in the Task Manager. If it is, give a click in the TM display and the game should load. Let us know your results.

Which Windows OS (7, 8.1, 10) and NVidia driver series do you have?

There are two more redistributables that you might try installing. Do these separately, then test the game for improvement between each installation:
Steam \ steamapps \ common \ Batman Arkham Knight \ _CommonRedist \ DirectX \ DXSETUP
Steam \ steamapps \ common \ Batman Arkham Knight \ _CommonRedist \ DotNet \ 4.5.1 \ NDP451-KB2872776-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU

How much actual VRAM do you have?

i've tried them both, still...
2GB VRAM

2GB VRAM might be too low to launch Arkham Knight. Wait for other players to share their opinions.

Okay, Thank you for you help
I'm really appreciated

2GB of VRAM should be enough to let you launch the game, although at 1920x1080, you will have to stick to low settings to avoid VRAM overcommitment.

I see you've already tried reinstalling redistributables, have you also tried verifying the game cache? https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335

I have the same issue as well. I have
> redownloaded the game
> checked the game cache
> reinstalled redistributables

if you are using a laptop, run it in windowed mode...add
'-windowed' to your Steam launch options
also try an older GPU driver the 37x versions seem to have many bugs
v.368 seems to be the last 'stable' driver for this game.
make sure to select CLEAN INSTALL
If you have Windows Defender....disable it
