Free roam with all playable characters would have me playing the game much more often

Or even just a decent amount of challenge maps with characters playable on all of them. I probably won't bother playing the game until the first add-on for that comes out. But even then, the challenge maps are too limited. Origins had a nice amount.
 
Another story based DLC challenge pack where you can play as all the characters in their own story
Like the Initiation DLC
Free Roam seems cool but there are already mods for that
 
free roam with Cass as the new Batgirl.

oh, yes please!!
then you'll have wait for the remaster cause rock steady said they don't have plans for free roam at all while they are currently doing this games DLC. I can see this being a feature with the remaster though. unless they change their minds and Convince WBE before their done. That's the most likely thing to happen.
 
WB Montreal, please please PLEASE take over.

I second this. PLEASE let them take over. Woukd love to see what they could do after Origins with next gen hardware. Someone please make it happen.

NO.. No more Batman games. Move on WB. Stop milking the series WB after you guys hyped Arkham Knight to be the final game in the Batman series. The series began with Rocksteady, let it end with Rocksteady.

You have the rights to DC Comics. There's more than just Batman. It's time to let him have his time among gaming greats....

Let's just wait for them to announce the super man game first and see if that's still happening at all. They have expanded and can handle more then one project as they've shown us already

Seconded. I'd rather other characters got a shot, but seeing as we're certainly getting more Batman games, WBM would be a great choice. I would like though if they got a big enough team to have two projects going, so they can have a Batman team and a team that rotates between different properties.

I already seconded it, you have to third it :o
 
Guys, fill out this survey.

Rocksteady made it and it's about DLC you want. You want Deathstroke playable? Free roam for all chatacters? Azrael DLC? The Court of Owls?

I could tell it's not official because they treated Cassandra Cain as a serious choice. :csad:

For real, though, I do think some of the skins listed there will eventually make it, due to the leaks and the concept art (Damian Wayne, Morrison Red Hood, Jim Lee Batman, etc.)
 
I would rather see Monolith take over.
Give them a chance if they have more time they'll surprise what you asaw of their work the last time nd if they fail with all that they really need to prove them selves worthy, Then your justified and you'll have Monolith. Which I'm sure they very busy with their personal ip's at the moment like the next installment of shadow of Moldor.

There's absolutely no doubt in my mind that WB Montreal was formed for the express purpose of taking the reigns after Rocksteady finishes. Absolutely we'll be getting more Batman.

Yeah I agree, and as someone who absolutely loves Origins I am all for more from them.
 
So has anyone played GCPD lockdown? All five minutes of it......
 
Did anyone play Nightwing DLC yet

Just played it a few hours ago and like people say it is really short and really not much of a story really. On the bright side I just finished my 100% play though on the game.

I really don't see what was so brilliant about it. The only stand out moments was when we got to see him re-enact famous moments from the comics like crippling Barbara and killing Jason. Because they served a purpose. Batman was remembering how he failed to protect his allies/friends before.

We didn't need Joker to call Batman out on what he was doing wrong. We already had Alfred doing that when he was chastising Batman for things like not telling Tim the truth about Barbara's abduction. Listening to Joker go on and on and on and on about Batman putting his allies in danger, when Scarecrow says the same things to him, too, was so redundant and obnoxious. Scenes like that crime alley one were utterly redundant. What was the point of having dozens of Jokers in Crime Alley? No reason. It was just a 'Oh look we're revisiting Batman's parents death again, and Joker is here, too, and for some reason we're fighting dozens of them now'. What was so well done about this? What plot point or character development did it serve for Batman? Not a thing.

The Batman with Joker's blood in him plot also served no purpose. Batman went through all that crap in Arkham City for him to still end up not properly cured at all anyway. He just swapped one form of disease for another. It cheapened Arkham City's story. Which is saying a lot considering AC's story isn't strong to begin with. The only good thing to come from the Joker victim plot was it addressed something fans criticized AC for leaving the poisoning Gotham plot in the air, never telling us how that got sorted, if at all.

Now we're wondering did he cure himself of the new Joker disease in the end, because AK never told us. Henry provided no cure for it either since he turned out to be infected himself.



I think Asylum, City, and especially Origins Joker were way better than AK's because they actually served a purpose, and were not a redundant presence that spoiled so many good scenes, and the finale of the game, too. In fact I'd put Penguin in AC, Scarecrow in AA, and Poison Ivy in AK over Knight's Joker, too. Those other 4 villains you mentioned, too.

Couldn't disagree with you more. Joker in knight was amazing best in the franchise and scarecrow was amazing to. Man I swear origins is the most overrated yet underrated game at the same time. The game its self is so underrated has it is basically city but with a game that is 2 times has big. Maybe I fell that way because I was the only 1 that had like no glitches in the game. I had like 3 glitches in the game and none of them where that bad and only happened like2 times each out of the like 100 hours I have played that game. Yet its story is one of the most overrated things I have ever heard in my life no matter if you are talking about games, music, movies, perfecial athlects it may be the most overrated thing I have ever heard!

Joker in origins was just bad. It was the only game that I fell like he was forced into the game and the only black mask being the joker was so predictable early in the game even more then who the arkham knight was in knight and joker being black mask made way less sinces then the way joker was used in knight. The only thing that surprised me at all origins was bane finding out who batman was. Ever thing else was so predictable. Knight and city's stories are so much better then the lame story in origins. I love origins but the story was the only thing keeping it from being better then city.
 
I actually thought Joker was really brilliantly done. I mean grant it, I am a bit Joker out in these games and was hoping for more of an end boss cameo from Joker then what we got.

But what we got was really genius. I mean I grew up with Hamill as Joker. I grew up on BTAS and the movies and JL he was Joker in and all the stuff and really Joker in this game IMO rivals Batman Beyond Return of the Joker. This was one of the best takes on Joker since TDK but even then in all Batman media. I love how they integrated stuff like Killing Joke and Jason Todd's "death" into the Joker flashbacks was really well done. I loved how he really was basically a troll. A demon to Batman. He called Batman out on his ******** numerous of times which was great to see. Involving Joker in this way gave this game such a psychological twist that felt different from previous games. Joker really pushed Batman mentally into trying to prove Batman would kill given the chance. Scenes like when Batman had the gun with all the Jokers around and also the scene in Crime Alley was just handled so well. Also playing as Joker in witnessing Batman's worst fear then playing as Joker in his own worst fear was really well done by Rocksteady. I really feel that the sort of final level they did was better than any generic boss battle. Though wish we got a Scarecrow boss battle like we did in the Batmobile missions.

It's funny since at first I though "Batman turning in Joker doesn't make any sense" only because we saw Batman cure himself in City but when thinking about it, he cured Joker's blood in City. He still has Joker's blood in him just it's cure free now. Basically they are doing Batman Beyond Return of the Joker but instead of a microchip (which let's be honest, how the hell would Joker figure out how to implant a microchip into a 13 year old's brain) it was his blood.

I was completely burned out with Joker before the game. I love AA and AC but even when I played Origins I felt that Baker's Joker and WB Games Montreal's Joker was better than Hamill's Joker in the Arkham series. While I didn't like how it came at the cost of making Black Mask, who we thought was the main villain of Origins, he was just done so well. Then of course AK came out and I just loved how Joker was used in this game. Having him as this demon who keeps pushing Batman and calling him out on his ******** was great.

When it comes to Scarecrow I do agree that besides Joker, the game is lacking villains. I mean no one is bad. Some are great like Pyg, Man-Bat, Penguin (really love the Arkhamverse Penguin) while some are just meh (Deathstroke, Two-Face, Hush).

But I do feel when it comes to the Arkham series, the 5 best villains in no particular order are:

Joker (Arkham Knight)
Scarecrow (Arkham Knight)
Bane (Arkham Origins)
Mr. Freeze (Arkham City)
Deathstroke (Arkham Origins)

Nicely put couldn't have said it better about joker in knight :db: and the joker in origins was one of the worst villians in the 4 games.
