It's a shame that this is the last Arkham game. I'd have like to have seen a game set in the far future in a Gotham with a "Blade Runner" like aesthetic with an aged Bruce Wayne ala The Dark Knight Returns or Batman Beyond with Terry McGuinness. It's also a shame that Harley Quinn's pregnancy was never happening as the Joker's kid would've been an awesome villain.
 
It's the last of the Arkham games but probably not the last of the Batman games.

If Rocksteady decides to move on to an IP that they're creating, I'm sure WB Interactive will have WB Montreal create the new Batman games.
 
If they give Batman games a complete rest after this game, it will be nice
A few superb games (although the opening game is good, not great) and end it at that, will keep a better memory of Batman in games

I feel like WB Montreal's purpose is new Batman/DC games...which I'm fine with.
 
Are you in your teens? How much money do you make a year? No offence , but damn! You are going to wait 5 years? Might as well not get it and save your money for a ps 5. I am not going to get a ps4 anytime soon, but if I am willing to wait 5 years to get an electronic, then I might as well pass and not get it

well just remember , Yeah it's possible he's a kid, but there are also people that are on a budget these days and we did have a recession that ended not so long ago well I shouldn't say it ended as not every one has fully recovered from that thing and people are adamant to staying to their budget due to this event out fear we'll fall back into it . its about priority's and needs for people now and days that are on those budgets.

lets be happy the recession didn't hit every that works for a living so hard that they can buy a new system if they want. not every was so lucky.

Good luck to them then
well while up set spider fan was arguing he did say this that WB montreal needs more time to develop their games the same time rock steady was given and I've said so to prior as well too. they do need to take their time with their work and do so even if that means pushing back.

But they need to do so. As long as they have the same development time as rock steady did in this series. They will do fine. No rushing or having to put it out cause you want to stay to a dead line (what ever boss that was obsessed with that.) and hopefully they will be given the same freedom's to speak up, and so "No" boss , when they feel what they're doing isn't ready and they need more time.

Alot of these studio especially of their new need to be able to do this no matter who they're working for. other wise.... it'll like this and alpha protocol all over again. full of bug's and screwed due to that fact.

But that's what needs to be done with them.

Just as with the Nolan series, it won't be the end all be all of Batman in the media. Something else will come along and we'll be wowed.

I'll believe that when it happens
We need to be wowed by Snyder's movie first
 
New character would be kind of boring to be honest, if they were to keep it a mystery

I can understand why some wouldn't be interested but it would be interesting to me and be cool if they add him to the comics
 
What if the reveal in the game is that the Arkham Knight is Bruce Wayne? I think it could serve as a red herring for Hush, who in AC left a dangling plot thread after taking on Bruce's face
 
I still prefer others but Hush would be good

I'm already wowed by Ben Affleck(yes I fully support Bat Fleck)casted as Bruce Wayne/Batman and Jeremy Irons as Alfred(I'm betting he will be Earth One inspired and I like that)

I love Man of Steel and believe Snyder will do Bats even better than Supes
 
So, did they explain how the graphics in this game will be like?

I like Ben Affleck as DareDevil, so I think I will like him as Batman as well
 
The graphics in the screenshots look awesome and GI says the gameplay demo they saw was great including graphics
 
I actually hope this the last Arkham game. As much as I adore this franchise, I really think it got milked with all the tie-in comics, filler game/DLC's, the upcoming film, etc. It's something that started a couple of months after Arkham City was released.

I'm only speaking for myself here, but I never needed an "Arkhamverse". What I loved about the first two games is how ambiguous they were in terms of their location. They felt as if they could take place in regular DC continuity; just another two Batman adventures in the Batman canon as we know it. Maybe they were in their own universe, maybe they weren't. Maybe all events from the DCU took place, maybe only some of them did, maybe none of them did. Now we know how certain things in this universe came to be, how certain things outside of the games in general came to be, etc.

I'm not saying that's a bad thing narrative-wise, but I much preferred the original ambiguity Rocksteady was originally going for. Especially since the Arkhamverse always felt too straight-off-the-page to need all of this. If they would've done this with a universe that felt and was more different to begin with though, such as the Nolanverse, that would have made a bit more sense. Just my opinion.
 
Arkhamverse was always pretty unique case, especially since things always change all the time in the comics medium. With dumb Bane as a good example, Hugo Strange as Ras' al Ghul's pupil, and the list goes on.
 
With Hugo's obsession with Batman, it's very fitting for him to be chosen as a pupil of Ra's

Yea id agree, i thought it was unique enough due to the fact it pulled from so many different takes on Batman. It was kind of a mesh of all the popular Bat media.


As for this being the last Arkham game, id be surprised. The sales overall for the series have been close to 20 million and I doubt WB is ready to hop off that gravy train.

Well similar to the Nolan films coming from the mess that was the Schumacher era, the Arkham games arrived from a history of mostly sub-par batman games.

We're still waiting at the moment to see if Batman after the Nolan era can indeed wow us and the post Rocksteady Batman games will have a lot to live up to as well.
 
the most I can see them doing is stuff with the prequels, and for anything after this, Nooooo they better just do normal titles for it fallowing batman cause there's only so much you can do with title with arkham in it. and only so many thing's to tell story wise from there as a story. sequel wise. it's very limiting .

Not really, that name is just a name. Look at Arkham Origins for example. To the people calling the shots at WB the "Arkham" name means sales as its associated with a popular product.
 
No it's was like that show prison break and they were stuck in a rut there cause they went back to the prison part story wise in nother area/ form on occasion once most of the main characters were out trying to clear their names. After you break out it's time to find another name title wise and tell a story of being on the run like the fugitive's not stay with that title. Half the time that series was losing it's self cause of that. And it can happen here too. time to move on where batman is concerned with the sequels minus origins
