So this happened...

I personally can't decide if it's a teaser or a joke. I'm not fully down on my Batman info, but Arkham World seems like some impossible type shit (in terms of making a lick of sense).

Also I have no idea if we should get spoilery for Arkham City, even though there's nothing that specifically correlates with this.

Arkham city was already such a bad name... But Arkham World... SMH

Does Batman ride around on a dinosaur friend eating bad guys in this one?

Just waiting for Batman: Gotham City for next gen

Some men just want to watch Arkham World burn

I figured it was a joke. Surprised everyone's taking it so seriously.

Isn't that Gotham City Impostors?

I think they're mainly doing it because Arkham City got teased at the show twice, including right after Arkham Asylum released.

HTuran · Dec 11, 2011

Arkham is a city.

World is The World.

Just thought I'd clarify, in case you missed it.

I'm pretty sure it was a joke, guys. Not saying there won't be an Arkham City sequel, but I reeeeally doubt it'd be called Arkham World.

arkhamworld.com is available.

Someone shut this bitch down (also buy it).

hamchan · Dec 11, 2011

Comes with Superman DLC for new purchases.

NateDrake · Dec 11, 2011

100% certain it was a joke.

snoopeasystreet · Dec 11, 2011

Arkham World of Batman: Gotham City

Htown · Dec 11, 2011

They could do it. Based on the Batman, Inc concept.

But whatever, the sequel to Arkham City would be Gotham City.

ULTROS! · Dec 11, 2011

So...

Arkham Asylum -> Arkham City -> Arkham World -> Arkham Solar System? -> Arkham Galaxy -> Arkham Universe

And the prequel of Arkham Asylum will be called Arkham Cell?

Luigi87 · Dec 11, 2011

A sick joke, by a sick man.

Buckethead · Dec 11, 2011

Definitely a troll.

I want a new IP, non-superhero game from Rocksteady.

It's probably a joke

But remember, Dr. Strange before he died talked about a similar 'brand' in Keystone and Metropolis for Arkham City. I can't see it happening what, with Dr. Strange & Ra's Al Ghul dead and all.

Zeal · Dec 11, 2011

Don't think this one is anything.

Akrham World 2099.

All criminals have been transported to a alternate world to live out their sentence

It is called Arkham World as a nod to the now 100 year old prison

Batman gets sent there by the Joker

Video games!!

2014!

Biggest-Geek-Ever · Dec 11, 2011

Obviously a joke. They wouldn't skip right over Arkham State and Arkham Country

Zero-Crescent · Dec 11, 2011

Dammit Governor Sharpe, Batman knew rounding up Arkham's prisoners and placing them in an abandoned theme park was a bad idea!

Bossniak · Dec 11, 2011

We all know there will be another batman game. World or not.

IllumiNate · Dec 11, 2011

Please be nextbox PS4 exclusive

Psy-Phi · Dec 11, 2011

Two shouldn't have been named Arkham City, Rocksteady needed a unique name, though I understand they wanted to make sure people could look at it and realize it was a sequel to their game. Can't exactly call it Batman: new subtitle and get that kind of recognition.

Too bad they can't retcon the titles and call the first Rocksteady presents: Batman Arkham Asylum, and Rocksteady presents: Strange City. Just give the games Comic Book style titles.

But sure, this title is too bizarre to be real.

Loxley · Dec 11, 2011

I figured it was a joke. Plus, y'know, it's the Joker, that's sort of his shtick isn't it? Zing!

I think you guys might be reading too much into this and Rocksteady is pulling off a good troll.

You heard it hear first.

Fuck DCUO, right?

Dabanton · Dec 11, 2011

In the game don't the thugs actually talk about where they are going next.

Also spoilers

Azrael tells Batman that Gotham will burn so for the next game i suppose we'll have the whole of gotham to explore +Scarecrow is cooking something up on his hidden lab on the boat and Hush also has plans as he tells you before escaping into the city

No one is ever actually dead, but it was definitely a joke.

Actually Arkham is a family's last name in Batman.
Only a city for the game.
Just to clarify.

The sad part is people falling for it and now reporting it.

just add a Super and here we go

giant_frying_pan · Dec 11, 2011

It was a joke, very obviously so and nothing more. The next Batman game (Imposters excepted) won't revolve around anything called Arkham.

IllumiNate · Dec 11, 2011

It was not a joke of that I can assure you

STOP SHITTING ON MY MOTHER'S HEADSTONE

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
