Unless it's being developed by Rocksteady, I'll pick it up on sale or not at all. I'm not paying 60 dollars for another Arkham City expansion pack.

And what would you like to see in the next Arkham game? AC is quite hard to beat when it comes to controls. AO as similar as it was to AC, it was still quite an enhanced version, gadget and control wise. AA was pretty barebones so it was easy to improve upon. The only thing I hated in AO was how they fucked up with the proximity explosion upgrade.

I don't think we can expect a really different AND improved version of Arkham series gameplay at this po I thought this info was leaked by Batman's VA months ago already.

At the very least, I'd like to see less reused assets. The courthouse and sewers and such are one thing, but when I go into Crime Alley, for instance, and they've STILL got the chalk outline of the Waynes with the rose and there's no reason in game for that to be there it just screams lazy.

But honestly, I don't think it's out of line to expect a two player campaign at this point. There's no sense in not doing it other than not wanting to do some extra work and maybe taking some extra time on it. I can understand if WB Montreal's got pressure to crank these out every year like the Assassin's Creed franchise, but I don't pay 60 dollars to play those either. So that's how it's going to be with Batman.

Yeah, a coop campaign would definitely be an awesome addition. AO's multiplayer mode is actually pretty fun when you play as Batman or Robin and have to play cooperatively with another vigilante against the rest of the players. I hate playing as the gangs though.

Its Rocksteady, even if I didn't hate it, they can make anything work. Besides boss fights so maybe his will be disappointing. Thats at the worse.

They won't even have Paul Dini on this one, and Arkham City's writing and story was already kinda dicey even with him around!

And also Hush is the absolute worst!!!

Someone is definitely NOT happy here with this plan. I don't know too much about Hush, but the premise is sort of odd to me.. I mean, why would someone graft a perfect replica of your friend's face outside of sullying the family name?

Hell, what does this doc have against the Waynes anyway?

Oh, and if it makes you feel any better, Jmorphman: I'm guessing there are far worst arcs out there for Batman.

The whole face transplant thing actually came after Hush's first storyarc (in Batman: Hush). That was basically just a mystery of "who is Hush?!?!?!" (could it be the just introduced and never before mentioned childhood friend of Bruce Wayne? Turns out yes!) interspersed with cover versions of Batman's greatest hits (Batman fights Superman! Batman fights all his villains! Batman makes out with Catwoman! Batman has Jason Todd angst!), but all done exceedingly shittily.

Dini wrote the face transplant stuff and it wasn't exactly good but it at least was trying, I guess (and also Catwoman had her heart taken out for some reason?). Still a pretty awful character even with that added hook of wanting to be Bruce Wayne.

Oh of course, but Hush remains inexplicably popular and liked by some people (I think it has lost a lot of its initial luster over the years, though)

Still waiting for a Batman game with the functionality of the Arkham games and the art direction of the Timm series.

South Park Stick of Truth has leaked.

Spoiler: spoilers (click to see content)
And yet somehow it's still going on sale here, minus a fistful of short bits.

Bruce Wayne is actually Hush who is Joker in disguise who is actually Jason Todd in disguise

/script

In seriousness, if he showed up in the original Hush story he's likely to appear in this one. All I know about Hush is it's some former friend of Bruce Wayne who suddenly decides "Fuck Bruce Wayne" And then telling Batman "Fuck Bruce Wayne" And then useless shit happens and Hush still looks like Bruce Wayne in the end. And I ain't readin that shit.

If I remember correctly, Hush's origin story is that he was a spoiled rich kid who tried to kill his parents, but then Bruce Wayne's dad saved their lives because he was a doctor and that's what doctors do, so Hush swore revenge on the Wayne family as a whole for no discernible reason, so he became a plastic surgeon and makes himself look like Bruce Wayne and does a bunch of pointless shit, including literally stealing Catwoman's heart by surgery-ing it out of her chest in a way that doesn't actually kill her somehow, that never amounted to anything because it turns out that his entire deal was that he was really just working for Riddler the whole time.

In short, Hush is literally the worst.

Well, to be fair Thomas Wayne did cheat him out of his inheritance, so it's not for NO reason.

Yep, except the heart and face stuff came later; he was only working with the Riddler during his debut.
