Batman: Arkham Knight - Part 4

[Travesty]

Arkham Knight will end up being Joker, who ends up being Clayface.

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

Arkham Knight will be Ben Affleck. Yeah...just let that sink in.

 

[Travesty]

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Oh you guys.

 

[DeadPresident]

Whether Arkham Knight ends up being a pre-existing character or not I am sure there will be at least one major red herring. Just to throw even more random AK speculation fuel to the fire what about the possibility of them doing a Long Halloween scenario where

Spoiler

multiple villains end up being Arkham Knight?

I agree, I think they'll give the players at least one major twist to throw off any suspicions on another character for a while. On the LH comparison that would be pretty interesting, and would help to disguise who is involved because like LH it's difficult to pin who was where at what points.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

I know Dini wrote the last two, but are they just using their own in house people to craft this story or what?

In house... with help from Geoff Johns, I believe.

 

[Two-Face=Badass]

In house... with help from Geoff Johns, I believe.

Oh God no.

 

[Naked Shia]

Geoff Johns helped on Arkham Origins, which writing was vastly superior to the previous games. We're lucky he's back.

Which means all the prior games will get retconned out of existence? And the previous cut scene of Arkham Knight will get retconned in the following cut scene. And we'll get daily patches retconning the identity of Arkham Knight. And Joker will come back to life, because God forbid he leaves any characters dead.

He'll also have a scene where Barry Allen and Hal Jordan are not only brought back to replace actually interesting characters, but then he'll devote an entire half of the game to showing why they're the most speshal heroes evar, and have them both beat down Batman and give speeches on why he's wrong about everything. Then one of them will lose their arm, and the other will have that panel shot where he's completely fine but then a blade is stabbed right through their back and out their stomach, and preferably with lots of blood, and then a whole slew of women and non-white characters will give up their heroic mantles to their whitebread male originals and give out-of-character gushes about how the originals are far better than they could ever hope to be, and then someone else will get the arm off and stomach blade treatment. Then all this will be retconned, except for the original whitebread characters because now the entire DC universe will show up and praise them in a 2 hour cutscene, and Jaime Reyes will turn up as the Blue Beetle alongside Cyborg in order to show that DC is totally progressive. Oh, and Wonder Woman will be written so shockingly awful that her characterisation will receive government funding for potential military applications.

EDIT: I am a little harsh on Johns, and he seems to be improving, but it still hurts guys. It still hurts.

EDIT EDIT: Wait, I forget if Johns was a big mover of the New 52 or not. If he indeed was, then I was not harsh enough.

Maybe, maybe.
I agree with some of what Levitikuz said about the story of Arkham Origins, young Batman beating Deathstroke and the whole story taking place in one night.

hmm I think that was more of that actual main writer that has also writen batman tv animates series then Geoff Johns. Johns did help with making chose like the new copper head sign off for alot of stuff to happen permission wise and did the art design. So he hand a had there in those parts

 

[SlamAdams]

Stupid Copperhead. She was essentially just Cheshire

 

[zenith16]

lol Cheshire doesn't wrap her body around people like a cirq de sole performer & use's bladed weapons like sword, Sai, ETC & won't waist her time with a drawn out fight with poison if & she does use that

Besides she's too young to have been apart of that event since it was bat man year 2 shes the same age as grayson & his best buddy Roy Harper.
there's a reason why she was skipped over & it was due to age .


Too bad they won't do the same for huntress with the other mediums (which have been terrible since the did that) she's supposed to be the same deal as well .


what ever your Smoking I want some lol

 

[Naked Shia]

It's crazy the amount of Johns haters on boards. The dude wrote a lot of great stuffs, and his batman has the right balance of humanity and jerkitude without being the batjerk.

 

[zenith16]

A Rep for DC's Animation and games side made a statement to the people of EPn.tv they said from now on most of their stuff story wise will be oriial stories even thouh their main source is from the current new 52. more details ithe video below @ Mark 1:17



DC Overload in the Rundown
Marissa talks about the massive new slate of big screen DC movies, and more, in the Rundown.


source: EPN.TV


Which make it easier cause some certain writers for those sides want to do their own thing. Marvel's already doing this with some of the stuff they already have out for games . "same universe but your allowed to have your ow orinial stories" so at least they can't say they are tied down.

 

[TheVileOne]

What did I just read and what does any of it have to do with Arkham Knight?

 

[zenith16]

What did I just read and what does any of it have to do with Arkham Knight?

It's a video. It's More like future plan's of other games & video animation series "Stories post"this game the the up coming Aqua man animated movie .since most other stuff DC is making a shared universe creation deal of the their own in both animated & live action and not taking stories from the comic's book Azeril with a different spin . or in other words pulling a M night shamalon twist.

I guess it's almost the same deal with what Dc does with making mirror/ other side coin to batman with hush & verious villain's /others(when you think about it Arkham knight falls into that place to a degree)

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

WHAT?!

I didn't understand any of that.

 

[zenith16]

I did correct it I had some connection issue so some of the words were garbled . Any way this was recently said by that dc rep on video as shown there and it only kinda applies to what I and JMC were talking about a page over with the red tape of stories thing with the source comic's how most of the other medium are moving away from that issue.

They will use the same universe of thenew 52 as a reference point. but won't be tied with red tape as that man stated cause they be doinn their own original stories from now on so they claim i stead of recreating something that was doe before in the comic's

 

[TheFirstAvenger]

New screenshot.

 

[zeptron]

Right now I wish they'd reveal another villain that's gonna be in this game. It's been awhile since they did.

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

It's still over 7 months before this game is on store shelves. There will be plenty revealed and shown off over that time period.

 

[scatterax]

Right now I wish they'd reveal another villain that's gonna be in this game. It's been awhile since they did.

That's cause there's only two. Gone are the days of fan service in video games. This game is 90% extended cut scenes of th two major villains in monologue talking about there motivations. They really want to dig deep into the psychology of this game.

In other words it has nothing to do with Arkham Knight.
