There Are "Endless Possibilities" for More Batman Games, WB Says

I'd like to see what they come up with for a Green Arrow game. That could be cool. Personally, I'd like to see a Green Lantern open-world game. If WB goes the "Elseworlds" route on Batman games, that could be interesting.

I'd love that. I mean it's not like the Arkham series are strangers to the shared universe stuff, Queen Industries got mentioned here and there in Arkham Origins and Arkham Knight.
 
The possibilities are endless, but we'll end up making more open world beat 'em ups with Arkham-style combat anyway. We'll just call it something else.
 
I really would love to see a Batman game with different "arcs" or chapters. Set over time or featuring different view points over time. Much like a standard comic book over a year. Like Batman: Eternal or various Batman stories adapted into shorter arcs, Court of Owls, Death in the Family, etc. not these one night Batman games.

We need this. Dickbats is best bats. Jimbats is also good bats.

Not even that I prefer dickbats but Kevin Conroy has just been so dry and I think we need a break from super serious batman, especially with how dramatic AK was.

AK Spoiler

Plus this would be a good move story wise since Batman retired? I doubt they'll ever introduce Damian, but I'm ok with it just being Dickbats. I imagine at this point in the story Batman moves on to do just league stuff and the bat fam handles Gotham.
 
Just move onto something else guys.

I'd take Batman in the Wild West.

But a colorful '60s Adam West Batman beat 'em up, with over the top campiness would be my number one wish.

I guess a Flash game would be totally out of the question.

Not entirely, I think he's most likely to get a game after Justice League and Superman. The tv show is pretty damn popular. They made a fuckin' Aquaman game so anything is possible.

I think Wonder Woman would be the next jumping point gameplay wise. She may still have super strength & flight, but the way she fights is similar to Batman. Flash has a bunch of interesting mechanics they could use. A lantern or superman game would be amazing if they could nail free roam in space (or earth for Superman). My pipedream is a Shazam game though.
 
The lack of originality in this series is absolutely brutal. It feels like the exact game over and over again. It desperately needs a new look and a new combat system to shake things up a bit.

Arkham Knight is not at all interesting or compelling because it just feels so repetitive after Asylum and City.
 
As long as they start to move toward the mood and design of Origins, I'm fine with whatever. I don't think larger and larger open worlds have diminishing returns. Just look at how uninteresting the Batmobile was in Knight. Bigger is not necessarily better, and there are still things the close environments of Asylum did that haven't been topped.

The whole "Arkham took the character to its full potential" comment irked me. It's clear they're still really struggling with adapting all aspects of Batman into a video game format. "Detective Vision" is really just barely paying lip service. Bruce Wayne is less than an afterthought. They had to empty Gotham of its citizens and fill the streets with token drone tanks to blow up in order to incorporate some semblance of batmobile gameplay.
 
There are endless possibilites with the giant plethora of DC characters also WB, even as much as you say only Batman sells.
Get Rocksteady making another superhero that is not Batman and people will at least be interested to see how well they can do it, and if it comes great at the end, dont worry that is going to sell.
 
The first game is still my favorite. They just kept throwing on more shit instead of fine tuning the gameplay elements that were there from the beginning. Arkham Knight just feels so bloated and padded out. The batmobile was a huge mistake.

One of the (many) reasons Origins is my favorite in the series is it goes some way towards suggesting that Batman is, like, the World's Greatest Detective and retreats to his cave to solve puzzles. In the Rocksteady games he's kind of a moron.
 
I'm all for it, I love Batman. I could play those Arkham style games all day long. Give me more of that with new stories and I'd be happy.
 
I hope they improve upon that formula. Arkham knight was the only game I didn't finish. I got sick of driving the bat-tank and blowing up the same three models of tank. Then I saw that butchery of the arkham knight story coming from a mile away.
