Only true for Professor Xavier, Scott Summers and Jean Grey-Summers.
So not Batman 666
It should be called Batman: Arkham Beyond. It's the perfect title.
Better trademark it so you get some monies.It should be called Batman: Arkham Beyond. It's the perfect title.
They should've just did Batman Beyond game set in the far future. Splicers, robots, Royal flush gang, future Justice league cameos, and Inque.
They can just use those in this damian game if it ever gets mafeThey should've just did Batman Beyond game set in the far future. Splicers, robots, Royal flush gang, future Justice league cameos, and Inque.
Morning guys.
I am not able to post artworks and 3D modells out of resepect for my source, but I will give you the little information that I have.
Indeed, WB Montreal is working on two games right now.
Suicide Squad, in which they go help from Rocksteady.
- is a brawler
- you create your own avatar, grow it out, with tiers of rewards
- many characters to choose
- coop-action
- Borderlands esque
targeted for 2017 release.
Next game is the Damian Wayne game.
- has been greenlit last summer
- 10 years in the future (I think our future from 10 years now, not quite Batman Beyond)
- Bruce is old and has a beard
- harness on his leg
- uses a walking stick
- is mentoring Damian Wayne to be the new Batman
- Damian has a Batbike
- lots of great characters and also new ones, lot's or redesigns, like Black Mask being a female
- Dick's in it, has a shaved head
- some other villains are Flamingo, Poison Ivy and White Rabbit(old, looks like a granny)
Game is starting to roll in production, so we might no see it for a while, but I am very excited.
Speculation:
Schreier had written on Twitter that a lot of developers want to go the route of announcing a game and releasing it shortly after, like Fallout 4. It's up in the air when we are going to see Suicide Squad, let alone that Damian game.
EDIT: These games are not labeled Arkham, so this is probably an alternative continuity!
And this. It really should he Dick or Terry (or Tim).Ugh fuck the "Damian is the real Batman heir" narrative.
Honestly, they're all heirs. They'll just alternate on who protects Gotham as they get older. I'd love for it to be Dick, then the combination of Cass and Tim, then Damian, then Terry and Helena (of course everyone forgets that Bruce has a biological daughter while positioning Damian as heir because he's a biological child), etc. (We can talk about Jason later.)And this. It really should he Dick or Terry (or Tim).
Really can't be the Arkham continuity if the above is true...
This isn't Batman Beyond. This isn't what I wanted at all.
apparently i'm the only person who entered this thread not knowing who Damian Wayne is and misreading it as Damon Wayans
Ugh fuck the "Damian is the real Batman heir" narrative.

Terry is literally nothing like Bruce, young or old.Damian is the fourth Batman though, wether you like it or not, and Terry is fucking young Bruce Wayne, which is pretty lame. Damian is also the only will-be-Batman character that hasn't appeared in a Batman game.

I'd feel better if it were some sorta anthology series where we play as a different heir in each installment. That'd be pretty dope, actually.Honestly, they're all heirs.

And pretty much everyone I listed is more interesting than Damian, tbh. Damian is only interesting when he's interacting with his siblings. And him being Batman while Dick is still Nightwing or god knows what is just wrong.
Ah man... I completely blocked that out. Tbh, you can say the same about Damian (kinda). I like Terry being a more lighthearted take on the mantle.Damian is the fourth Batman though, wether you like it or not, and Terry is fucking young Bruce Wayne, which is pretty lame. Damian is also the only will-be-Batman character that hasn't appeared in a Batman game.
They really need to take a longer break here. Arkham has been exhausted. A larger Arkham with even MORE Riddler trophies seems like a waste of resources because fuck that OCD bullshit "content".

Suicide Squad (how long has that been in dev now?) release
He has his DNA in the same way that Damian has his DNA. They're genetically his sons, except Terry isn't a shitbird like his dad or his comic book sibling.Terry is literally Bruce... he has his DNA. That's pretty lame.
Damian is the fourth Batman though, wether you like it or not, and Terry is fucking young Bruce Wayne, which is pretty lame. Damian is also the only will-be-Batman character that hasn't appeared in a Batman game.
Terry isn't a clone of Bruce.If this thread is going to devolve into a "who deserves to succeed Bruce" one, well, I dislike both Terry and Damian simply because it cheapens the idea that the Bat is a symbol that any Gothamite could wear and defend Gotham with.
Terry being retconned into being a Bruce clone in JLU was so random, and well, dumb. If that simple fact was ignored, Terry would go back to being interesting, imo.
Damian as an heir is super boring, but only if he succeeds Bruce and not Dick. Any story that paints Damian as more of Dick's brother than Bruce's son is a good one, again imo.
I loved that Morrison established a clean line of Batmen with Time and the Batman: Bruce, Dick, Damian, Terry, then Brane.
To me, there'll always only be one real heir to Bruce, and that's Dick. Although I love him as Nightwing, and I actually would be really excited if Tim became a teen Batman (since Red Robin is barely relevant anyways) that works alongside Bruce like Dick in 2010. That would make for some stories.
Anyways, for this game, I'm not looking forward to the story at all. Gameplay might be great if they more or less just port over AK's stuff. The story sounds really lame, assuming this is all true. Dick with a shaved head? And it's not even Dick mentoring Damian, not sure why Dick always gets the shaft (no pun intended). On top of that, almost no one, aside from a select few Bat-writers, can write a good Damian. Some of those animated movies are atrocious. And taking from both Beyond and 666 doesn't sound too exciting when they could just get it all wrong, anyways.
I'll be excited only if it's a big departure from the Arkham series.
I want new art style and new gameplay mechanics.

That reminds me... I'd love to see a Meteor Man game.
These stories are fluid though. For the longest time, most "futures" should Tim as Batman. Cass has even been a Batman/Batwoman. So it's not set in stone that Damian has to be the fourth Batman or whatever.Damian is the fourth Batman though, wether you like it or not, and Terry is fucking young Bruce Wayne, which is pretty lame.
It would be!I'd feel better if it were some sorta anthology series where we play as a different heir in each installment. That'd be pretty dope, actually.
That'd be cool too.That's why I said I would prefer a Robin game rather than a "Batman Beyond" game, we could play as all bat family members until they get to be Batman.
Thanks! And well, Damian was from a random, non-canon story from the 80's until Grant Morrison brought him into continuity. I hope we get Helena as part of the main earth one day and I'm partial to her being the youngest except for Terry.This is a great answer. Though, everyone forgets about Helena 'cause she's from another Earth. xD
In all fairness that can easily be retconned.
It's not.Really can't be the Arkham continuity if the above is true...
Dick has trauma, he just works through it differently than Bruce and it's more subtle. Not every Batman needs to be super dark and gritty and unlikable.So much Damian hate. Tomasi and Gleasons Batman and Robin run made me really dig him. He's got legit psychological issues which any good Batman needs, at least as an interesting character. Dick doesn't really have that much except when it's poorly forced by blowing up a circus or something. He is Nightwing and that's cool and that's where he belongs. And Terry is practically fanfic territory as far as I'm concerned but I'm part of the silent... majority?, who didn't like Batman beyond at all.
