So, it’s been 9 long years since we last got a new Batman: Arkham game. Rocksteady’s work with Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, and Arkham Knight, as well as WB Montreal’s Batman: Arkham Origins, were groundbreaking and led to some of the best superhero games ever made.
Gotham Knights and "Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League" tried to do the same, but they just weren’t able to scratch that itch for a multitude of reasons. And so I know I’ve been waiting for another dedicated Batman game that can recapture that magic. There was recently a new VR game announced in "Batman: Arkham Shadow" but what about something more traditional?
But what could a New Batman Arkham Game look like? Would it follow the events of Arkham Knight or Arkham Origins, and maybe introduce Robin? And do we even need one in the first place?

hey that guy kind of looks like the riddler
-
I swear, if Ratcatcher turns out to be Joker in disguise...
-
Is the there a lore reason Rocksteady hasn’t created another Arkham game? Are they stupid?
-
I'm fine with Robin in Arkham but the shaved head was a terrible decision
-
Honestly a Green Arrow Arkham Style game that also features Arsenal,Speedy,Conor Hawke, and Red Arrow(Emiko Queen) would be amazing honestly
-
Or even better… MAKE A FUCKING SUPERMAN GAME!
-
I’d give anything for an official sequel to Arkham Origins with Robin heavily involved. The Batfamily was so underused in the Rocksteady games.
-
Bad ending: You get a new Arkham game that's not for VR! ...with the monetization system and battle pass of Kill The Justice League
-
Man Ham City is the best Arkham game to date...
-
Two Face would make a great villain for an Arkham Origins sequel because he was still Harvey Dent in the first game and the other games didn’t do much with him
-
Troyo PLEASE do that long 4 hour Arkham retrospective
-
So I will quibble a bit on the idea that the Arkham series reinforces Bat-god “he doesn’t need anybody”. The main narrative of Arkham Origins is that Batman needs other people in order to succeed. And that in Arkham Knight, a few of the major challenges Batman faces is because he isn’t allowing other people to help him for fear that they’ll get hurt. Which winds up getting them hurt anyways. Great video though! I desperately want something in the Arkhamverse. Whether it be a new Arkham game, or a similar game for a different DC character, which is what I really want

Troy, hear me out on this: A Green Arrow Arkham-style game. But it would be more long-ranged in terms of combat. You could have a customizable arrow quiver where you select 5-6 types of trick-arrows before gameplay. And as you complete missions, you unlock more variants which could work better for different enemy-types. Like brutes would be more sensitive to ice-arrows or explosive-arrows. And maybe you could only have a limited number of arrows and you had to be strategic in how you used each arrow. And after each encounter your quiver would “recharge” (Sorta like your health-bar in the Arkham games) There would of course be hand-to-hand combat and thwacking enemies with your bow but it would less effective.

I think I might be the minority for this, but I would love to see a Green Lanturn game if not a Superman game
-
We should get a new Arkham game so that the Alsume can regain a bit of its sanity, they deserve a new joke
-
Gunn has said that in his new Universe there will be cannon games and im here for it.
-
I'm not mad that Arkham Shadow is a VR game because I really enjoyed Arkham VR for what it was. My main issue with it is that it's exclusive to a single headset.
-
This video has been out for 9 minutes, SO WHY THE F*** DOES IT HAVE 487 VIEWS!?!?!?!?
-
Honestly I’m kinda glad that ratcatcher is getting some light he’s a coolish villain and a pre-mask scarecrow has always interested me Omg that guy looks like the riddler
-
PLEASE make that Arkham retrospective!!!
