Rocksteady's Next Title

Re: Rocksteady's Next Title

If there has to be another Arkham game I'd rather WB Montreal (the Origins team) get another crack at it while Rocksteady moves on to something else.

Also Batman Beyond or GTFO.

Re: Rocksteady's Next Title

Joker is awesome but he's DEAD. Arkham Knight was a disappointment for so many reasons including Joker being in the game. Easily prefer to see Rocksteady move on as they're too good to become a single IP factory.

Honestly, screw Batman and Superman.....I agree with the guy who said TMNT!!!!. Hell yeah!!! Now that would be awesome from Rocksteady.

The Joker was one of the best things about Arkham Knight.

Hi, I'd like to introduce you to comic books.

Re: Rocksteady's Next Title

Don't have any interest in the comics. In the Arkham series, Joker is dead, period. If Rocksteady keeps bringing him back, then why kill him in the first place? Makes no sense.

Regarding Arkham Knight, Joker was the second negative about the game behind the crappy Batmobile tank combat where you strafe and it feels like an arena battle. The reason I didn't like it is because even dead, the Joker overshadowed all the other characters to where again, what's the point in having other characters when Joker is still the focal point.

Personally, the series should have ended with Arkham City as the game was great. Arkham Knight was a disappointing 8.0/10 for me. Still great but I was expecting at least a 9+. Asylum is easily better and City remains the best. If it wasn't for the visuals and gameplay (excluding the Batmobile tank battles), Knight would have been a 7.0/10 at best for me. Just don't see what others see in the game but to each their own.

Back to now though, I would prefer it if WB would let Rocksteady develop a new IP based on another DC character.

Re: Rocksteady's Next Title

Technically speaking, I think Batman is dead too. At least in one of the endings he is.

I wish I could ban you for this blasphemous rambling of Joker.

Re: Rocksteady's Next Title

So basically it's I don't like the Joker because he was better than all the other characters?

Re: Rocksteady's Next Title

Joker is awesome, my favorite villain in Batman but im talking game wise, he's dead. What would they do? He's in Bruce's head again? He gets resurrected or some crap? None of it makes any sense. Besides, it's a no-win situation if Rocksteady is actually making another Arkham game. If Joker is in the game, it's going to be some weird crap that makes no sense and if he's not, people will be pissed off due to wanting him in the game.

DC has so many characters and new IP's that they could actually have Rocksteady create and develop but yet, instead we'll get stuck with another Arkham game? Meh.

The Joker being dead is part of the theme of the game considering you have 1) a character return from being dead many years and 2) Another character's death being "faked." So the idea of The Joker haunting Batman is a really nice cover and highlights Batman's own crumbling state of mind. I was thankful for this because I thought the Scarecrow as an ineffectual primary antagonist.

The best thing about these games (including Origins) was Joker and his relationship to Batman. Despite the stupid Titan Joker boss fight they really nailed Joker down. I just wish the rest of the characters had gotten the same treatment.

Re: Rocksteady's Next Title

I thought they did a good job with Penguin too. But overall, I agree with everything you said.

Scarecrow was ineffective DUE to the Joker being in the game at all. How can any other antagonist shine when they're in the shadow of the Joker to begin with and when you add him in the game in any way, the antagonist gets even more overshadowed.

Other characters will never ever get the same treatment until the focus is no longer on the Joker. If/when Rocksteady develops an Arkham game that doesn't even mention the Joker, all the other characters will just be filler which is why I don't want any more Arkham games. All the other characters will be seen as "meh" because the vast majority of gamers obviously want the Joker.

All remains to be seen. If it's a new Arkham game, I'll look into it but im really hoping that it's not another Arkham game.

Stoooooooopt it. Like, stop. One, literally, had nothing to do with the other. If Scarecrow sucked because of any character it would be Arkham Knight, but even that isn't the case. Scarecrow just sucked. He wasn't present. Arkham Asylum did him a great justice; Arkham Knight just didn't.
