In my mind, a batman beyond arkhamverse would be the logical next step for the franchise. The trilogy ended with batman retiring, we got to see parts of Gotham being rebuilt to have a very futuristic style. Plus the original villains have been used for each of the games, it would be a breath of fresh air to move forward. Lastly, will friedle has been very interested in returning as Terry.
I think the other logical next step is Arkham Origins sequels that cover the years between that game & Asylum. Also the trilogy actually ended with Batman faking his death & operating under a different guise then going on to join the Justice League, but they could always have him retire at the start of that Beyond game.
@@themadtitan7603A batman beyond game would be the best choice since it'd bring in new players and you wouldn't have to play the past games to understand it
I think Will Friedle would jump at a chance to voice McGinnis for a Batman Beyond game. I think a Damien Wayne Robin and Dick Grayson filling in as Batman arc would be cool. Even leading to when Bruce came back.
Something you've overlooked Jake. Rocksteady aren't the only ones who have changed. WB isn't the same WB back when the Arkham games were made either. They've gone through a number of structural changes themselves. They now want a game with an infinite money glitch. that's how we got Gotham Knights. They don't just want a game, they want a game that can lead into movies, toys, TV shows etc. Just another commodity. I don't know what a Batman game will look like under this WB but I guess we'll find out
I would love an incredibly dark and gritty (like The Batman) Damien Wayne or Batman Beyond style game focused on deep nasty criminal underground, ah-la cyberpunk
He keeps saying, "pizzas on me". But I keep calling Dominoes, letting them know Jake's got me covered in the large cheese... They still claim to not know what I'm talking about...
Think it should be a Batman story set away from the Arkhamverse. The story perfectly ended with Knight and that should be that. Maybe something along the lines of that scrapped Gotham by Gaslight game? There’s literally a ton of material in the comics that can inspire a solid Batman game, it’s literally a layup at this point. Unfortunately the whole Suicide Squad fiasco really damaged goodwill towards Rocksteady so approaching this with extreme caution…
Yeah, it's a layup. Unfortunately Rocksteady is armless. Plus there's no Kevin Conroy anymore. IMHO they should go with elseworld story like Gotham by Gaslight, and calling Bruce Greenwood to do the voice.
Remember the times when they truly took care of us fans? While we were waiting for Arkham Knight, they gave us Arkham Origins to hold us over. Now, it’s been years without a new Batman game, and it feels like we’re being left in the shadows.
I want them to just make that Damian Wayne game that leaked a while ago. That Gotham looks like the perfect inbetween point between the Gotham of Arkham Knight and the potential Gotham of a Arkham Beyond. And it can also be the first time (to my memory) where Damian and Terry, both actual biological sons of the Batman, can interact and have a proper relationship between them
If I remember correctly, there was some early experimental gameplay made for that story (don't know if it was Rocksteady) that ultimately got scrapped. There should be clips of it somewhere out on UA-cam still.
I have read and seen every version of Batman over the last 40+ years and loved too many stories and scenes to ever possibly count, but the first two minutes and fifty seconds of Batman Beyond’s 1999 series premiere episode “Rebirth” is in my Top 5 Bat sequences of all time. The blood red night sky over Gotham, the newscaster’s voiceover on the averted Wayne Enterprises takeover, the classic Gotham goons, the capeless black Beyond suit reveal…and the rocket boots! And then the blood red wings! Then a vengeful and brutal onslaught by an ageless dark knight! But then… The pained breath. The eye twitch. The chest clutch and the silhouette of living Fear crumpling like a scarecrow in a storm. Then the tragic homage to Jason as a generic henchman beats Bats mercilessly with a huge open-ended wrench. Then the gun on the ground… The GUN. The cowl eye slits shifting as rage and pain give way to desperation and then to shame in two frames of brilliant animation. The RACK FOCUS to the gun. Don’t… …and then the pointing gun, the uncontrollable ripple of shame and of rage and mortality quaking down Batman’s arm, through his chest and into his failing heart where it finds its own reflection: the orphaned child in Crime Alley forever on his knees in horror and pools of blood, his mother and father taken by the same weapon-the same cowardice-he holds now in his hand… Then the unmasking and the reveal of Bruce Wayne. The Bat. The Man. Both of him know. It is over. The silent drop of the gun and the ghostly walk from the lighted door frame into the darkness… I am 53 now, and this hits like Shakespeare. Please make a great Batman Beyond game before I am too old to play it.
If they were to do a brand new non Arkham universe I REALLY hope they find a way to incorporate the Bat family like what you’re saying. The Arkham games barely scratched the surface of how much implied history those characters have together and I’d love to see it fleshed out more in some way. I love the Arkham games, but I think it’s time to shift away from that legacy and start something new as well. On a side note too though a Nightwing side game would be super cool to see someday.
With Gotham knights falling short in not reaching the Arkham series level of success? Do you really think redhood, Nightwing, Batgirl and Robin will ever take the lead again. Even Green Arrow would get a chance before we see these characters beyond supporting characters in a Batman game despite the push Nightwing has been getting in the comics. I'd like to be wrong but this is WB.
Batman 👏 Arkham 👏 game 👏 with 👏 the 👏 nemesis 👏 system. Districts run by the different main villains (two-face, Penguin, Black Mask, etc) with a Nemesis system where you can also control your own faction of the Sons of Batman, which can unlock buffs in certain districts the more the Sons of Batman gain influence. 12:20
What kills me is that Warner brothers own the rights to the nemesis system and the free-flow combat system and those two things haven’t been used in a game since 2017 and 2015 respectively, I wouldn’t even mind if it was its own thing and not part of the Arkham series but not using those core systems they have the rights to use is criminal
I would love if they did anything with Tim. Truly the most underutilized Robin outside the comics. A cool comic to adapt while continuing after Arkham Knight could be Black Mirror. You have Dick as Bats and most of the supporting cast can be used. Plus it's one of Scott Snyder's best Batman stories.
@@jordans7271 But people do. The Quest VR consoles are among the current generation consoles as a viable gaming platform. The Quest 2 outsold the Xbox and the platform continues to grow by leaps and bounds. I also personally consider VR gaming to be the true next gen gaming experience. (Unless you only care about graphics.)
4:02 I also think of what Snyder did, and all of the New 52 stuff as the “new” DC and Batman comics. Makes me feel so old knowing that was like a decade ago 😭
You're right not to, Sefton Hill and Jamie Walker the co founders/studio heads left the business to start up their own over 2 years ago. Most likely being controlled by corprate greed sharers. It'll be kill the justice league all over again. Rocksteady is dead. I'm hopeful for Jamie and Sefton's new studio.
@@SolidSnake240 Really? Even if it was from a studio that has been doing stellar work? I never understand these statements, why would you not want another batman game? I'm genuinely asking btw
It's a sad truth, that bring said, if they can staff up with a strong lead and have good oversight, I think that they can do it. Remember that SSKTJL was actually Sefton Hills idea
Honestly I'm so excited for the potential of Arkham Shadow, the devs have said that they push certain threads further forward such as getting closer to introducing Dick Grayson and more potential villain origins and that they have hopes for more entries. If we can get a VR origins era trilogy I would be so on board with it whilst Rocksteady could continue from where SS ends post season 4/go near future for a Beyond style game.
Damn.... you just reminded me Kevin Conroy is dead. Ill never get the animated batman game and we will never get to hear the icons in action ever again
So happy to hear about your success so far with your new workout program Jake! Maybe I'm biased from the knowledge but you look healthier, skin looks a bit fresher, you look a bit leaner. I went through a similar inflection point about a year and a half ago and I'm in the best shape of my life physically and mentally. Keep it up man, excited for you
So if you are training to make yourself more like Batman, that makes us Robin right? 👊We are stoked you are loving the plan you have been doing with Adam since July! You are crushing it! Thanks so much for sharing trainwell 😆
Its so nice to see Batman being talked about again and to see Jake's nerdiness towards the character. He's just as passionate as I am about Batman and Batman games
I'd love a more realistic, noir-influenced game, similar to The Batman in terms of tone and aesthetic. The Arkham games have become so ridiculously over the top.
Nah, grounded Batman needs to be put to bed. Embrace Batman with everything he presents with his mythos so I say you can have a noir type tone but still have clayface in it. That would be the best of two worlds.
Definitely believe Rocksteady making another Batman trilogy but this time with Batman Beyond in a huge cyber punk city, New Gadgets including rocket boots AND voice actor Will Fridel! 🤯
Man I love the Scott Synder comics too, would be awesome to see stuff from that run factored into a game! I stopped after Gordon took over though - is that run worth finishing up?
@@gabrielanderson7636 as a bow main on most games, I second this so bad. Especially if it keeps the tone and feel of the Arkham games and early seasons of the CW show.
I think they will do a year one flashback game. Where he will be up against someone who he’s having issues with and it keeps flashing back to year one Batman.
I'm amped for it. Weird how smug some so-called "true gamers" are about having a thinner palate when it comes to the types of games they play ... You know VR gamers also like regular games right? It's possible to be excited for both...
Id really like a cyberpunk style batman so thats why id love to see batman arkham beyond with bruce's son and hin mentoring him like Kratos in God of War with you playing as both of them
Arkham Shadow 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Very excited based on everything ive seen. The developers played all previous titles in the series and chose this as a passion project as fans if the Arkhamveree.
A Batman Beyond game that looks exactly like the animated show and links the ending of the show with the 'Epilogue' episode, letting us play through the Terry years of being a fully realized Batman with his own villain gallery would be amazing. A whole new set of gadgets and abilities to play with, a whole new set of butts to kick, and a whole new story that no one knows anything about. Uncharted territory. But alas... That's just a dream...
Let’s get an Edge of Time style game in the Arkham-verse. Half the game in the past with Bruce and half with terry in the future. Both mysteries tied together and we see how they are different as people and crime fighters
James Gunn said that they will make animations and video games that connect with his DC Universe. They already announced the animated movie of the two Robins, and since the Batman movie will be The Brave and the Bold with Damian Wayne, surely it will be a Bruce with a lot of experience. I would love to see an Arkham-style game as a prequel to this Batman, not necessarily Year One, but something to get to know and explore this new universe a bit more...
I’ve wanted a Mortal Kombat game built on Arkham mechanics for many years. Like a Scorpion lead game with stealth kunai and sword kills, Arkham style combat but with MK specials for takedown style moves etc
Imagine playing as Terry's Batman in a modern cyberpunk Gotham, with flashbacks that allow you to switch to playing as Bruce's Batman in the current Gotham, both characters connected through an unresolved case.
Court of owls was one of the coolest ideas to be added to the batman mythos in recent times, an unground society fits Gotham like a hand and glove plus the idea that a cabal, akin to the league of assassins, operating underneath the nose of the world's great detective is really interesting, however I do agree that they have been overhyped in some circles and I do think that there is a lot of meat left on that bone waiting for the writing creative team to elevate them to where they belong. Please keep on creating on topics you love; you can feel your excitement for the topic through the screen,.
A reboot is what I would like with an emphasis of building the Bat Family with each new game. Like have Bruce be young in the first game with Dick as Robin and Babs as Batgirl and give you room to develop them into new persona's in sequels and introduce new members like Jason and Helena in the second game, then Tim and Cass in the third etc.
Imagine a Batman Year One with the nemesis system. Being Batman starting out and slowly building your reputation throughout Gotham and spreading fear amongst the criminals. An open Gotham where you can drop in to fight random crime. These would be on top of the main story.
I would like to have a Batman game based on the begining of Batman and where while you advance on the story, you have options to choose on what kind of armor you will use with diferent gameplay options, like go for an armored suit that will make you slower but resist more damage, or go for a light weight suit that will make you attack faster, have diferent options on how to make your batarangs, diferent capes, and gadgets, that way you could have more replayability, with maybe some NG+ mechanics
9:44 I thought this was the natural progression for the Arkham series. Following Dick Grayson from Robin to Nightwing in a trilogy of stories. Oh well.
DC and WB should capitalise on Nightwing's rise in popularity right now and make a solo Nightwing game set outside the Arkham Universe. That'll also leave room for a future Batman game. A good Nightwing game with similar story beats like Marvel's Spider-Man would be incredible.
They need to do origins 2 doing the origins of the villains not in the first game. And while it's in development release a remastered version of the 1st game to renew interest since you can't get that game on modern consoles for some reason
Batman needs a Robin that he can push into dangerous situations so criminals have a brightly coloured distraction to shoot at while he’s in the shadows in full dark body armour. If Robin dies, he just replaces them with someone from one of the orphanages he owns
I’m cautiously optimistic. Sefton Hill and Jaime Walker were the ones who torpedoed Suicide Squad with the live service push and story ideas. Now that they’re gone, I think as long as they keep the core Arkham gameplay it could be good
While recognize that it likely wouldn't have the mass appeal of the straight forward, combat based gameplay of the Arkham series, I would _REALLY_ enjoy a Batman game that has a focus on detective work and puzzle, intermixed with combat. We got glimpses of that in the past, specifically with Arkham Knight by spooling through crime scene recreations to get clues, but I'd like something more. Ideally, this would be with a younger Batman, probably pre-Arkham Origin, still piecing together what is happening in the criminal underworld of Gotham. I would see the gameplay being split into thirds; investigation/detective/puzzle work, stealth gameplay, and then combat. Imagine a crime happens, and you nee do sneak into an apartment on a rainy, depressing night. Piece together what happened, collect clues, sneak back out and return to the batcave and then put the pieces together to come to a next lead. Following the leads until eventually you reach the villain's hideout that you need to stealth and combat your way through, to ultimately arrest and drop off at GCPD.
Keep the batmobile strictly an alternative traversal method. Make it the style of the animated series. Let's go back to the best Batman. I know Kevin Conroy is no longer with us and I don't know what rights he gave for his voice work. But he so much dialog as Bruce/Batman recorded that you could create Batman games for decades using old voice samples. If not I'm sure one of the more prolific VAs could do a decent impersonation.
I'm good either way on if they stick with the ark or do a new one. As long as the feel and tone is the same, I'm going to enjoy what they give us. I would be happy if maybe the joker was a side character. They definitely need a new Big Bad this time around. I loved the Nightwing in the Arkham games. That would be cool to jump back and see him before that. Maybe up to where he leaves? Anyway. More Batman is a good thing. It better not get any Live Service crap in it!
I’d like a Batman year one game where, by the end, you are more kitted out and mature. I’d like an aspect of it to be navigating the Wayne fortunes and businesses to ensure you can grow as Batman.
It'd be so cool to see how Azrael tries to take up the mantle and honor batman. They did such a good job setting up his character it'd be awesome to see how he negotiates not killing anymore.
If they make a bat family game again, gimme Death Of The Family (joker using the skin of his face like a mask and it slowly decaying as the plot goes) - horror vibes, bat family teaming up together etc.
I want a batman beyond game, imagine playing as Terry in a Gotham city but similar to night city from cyberpunk while still retaining the gothic/art deco feel.
@@killthomas8373Arkham needs to be put to bed. There’s so many other subtitles they could go with as it curtains to bats. Caped crusader, the dark knight etc. Arkham is over and I hope it stays that way as Batman in this medium shouldn’t be caged with the Arkham title.
@@WeimE28there is no way they will drop the Arkham brand for brand recognition reasons. If they are doing a Batman beyond game you best believe it will be tied to the Arkham trilogy. Bruce Wayne/joker have been done to death, literally and figuratively. Beyond would let them move past those characters as there is audience fatigue there.
Either doing another prequel set in between Origins and Asylum or doing a Dick Grayson as Batman and Damian Wayne as Robin game would be my ideal options for this project
I would love to see a batman game with actual Gotham with normal people living there and maybe even having Bruce Wayne in the game. Just having an all around batman experience
I want a Batman Beyond game, let it start with a 1-2 Hour prelude as Bruce then switch gears to introduce Terry Wayne, just picture the futuristic almost vapor wave looking setting with what graphics can achieve now
I still think beyond is the best route to go down, because you could continue in the Arkham universe and still make something new and fresh, going back to classic batman just doesn't bring anything new, but having a futuristic Gotham, villains we haven't seen before in game from the Beyond universe and different stories to tell, it could distinctivley be an Arkham game but fresh enough to be something new
What if sukerpunch took a crack at a batman game? I know a samurai game is quite different to a modern batman but the gameplay loop in Ghost just feels so satisfying so maybe they could recreate that punchy Arkham combat??
I want a batman game where he is actually a bat that eats people. A Jekyll and Mr Hyde like scenario where he is man by day and bat by night. Lean more into horror / possibly survival horror elements - call it batman and add all the villains as different factions. Shit would b wild.

expecting the current rocksteady to deliver a new batman entry is like expecting modern ubisoft to pull off a good Splinter cell game
yeahhhhhhh
I hear you, but I like to believe they are chomping at the bit to do a new amazing Batman to wipe the failure of SSKJL away.
100% this
Yea I have zero faith if the rumor is true,
Honestly I forgot Splinter Cell existed at this point. Current Ubisoft has made me forget all of their previous good games.
My hopes are that they just retcon the Suicide Squad game, and jump into Batman Beyond. A cool dystopian cyberpunk Arkham with Terry.
I could see this. It would be tough without Conroy doing older Bruce but I can move on.
Pretty sure they already did with easter eggs saying it's a multiverse thing.
Especially with the success of cyberpunk I think a batman beyond game would sell so well in the 2020s
Maybe michael Keaton@@JakeBaldino
We need beyond
A kart racer.
hell yeah
A farming sim. You play as Alfred and take care of Wayne Manor and its assets, making money for master Bruce.
Batman: ArKart Racing
Bloodborne kart first!
unironically, give it to me
In my mind, a batman beyond arkhamverse would be the logical next step for the franchise.

Also the trilogy actually ended with Batman faking his death & operating under a different guise then going on to join the Justice League, but they could always have him retire at the start of that Beyond game.
I would love this, but I unfortunately think WB won’t see this as safe enough. I feel it will either be Arkham origins sequel or a reboot
I agree. Also the series wouldn't be the same without Conroy's voice.
@@themadtitan7603A batman beyond game would be the best choice since it'd bring in new players and you wouldn't have to play the past games to understand it
It's a stretch, but I'd love to see them go full Batman Beyond. Cyberpunk world n all that
it makes total sense. Takes places years after Arkham Knight, no more Batman, maybe original character or bring in Terry
They almost did this lol it would’ve been called Arkham Legacy

Definitely believe Rocksteady making another Batman trilogy but this time with Batman Beyond in a huge cyber punk city, New Gadgets including rocket boots AND voice actor Will Fridel! 🤯
Man I love the Scott Synder comics too, would be awesome to see stuff from that run factored into a game! I stopped after Gordon took over though - is that run worth finishing up?
i wish wed get either a new dDishonored from Arkane, new Deus Ex from Eidos or mass effect from BioWare😭
We are definitely getting ME 5 from BioWare, it’s been in development since last year. Whether it’s good or not is another story.
@@Pårchmēntôs I hope so bro, even though im not a Dragon Age fan ill be monitoring the reviews really closely
1:30 Jake, I'm not gonna lie I spaced out for a sec and got CATAPULTED back to reality upon hearing this (lol)
Can Warner Bros just give us "Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings" already?!
A Green Arrow game would fucking slap
@@gabrielanderson7636 as a bow main on most games, I second this so bad. Especially if it keeps the tone and feel of the Arkham games and early seasons of the CW show.
Green Arrow would be the best solution here. They can even start the IP small like they've done with the Arkham games (Metroidvania > open world)
Don't do that, don't give me hope
My man! Give me a green arrow game!
As long as it doesn't turn into a gd fps...
I think they will do a year one flashback game. Where he will be up against someone who he’s having issues with and it keeps flashing back to year one Batman.
Batman Arkham Shadows (VR) in like 10 days looks pretty good tbh
Who even buy a vr set and be excited about it no one
found one of the two people who are excited for it
I'm amped for it. Weird how smug some so-called "true gamers" are about having a thinner palate when it comes to the types of games they play ...
You know VR gamers also like regular games right? It's possible to be excited for both...
@@ayushsinghchauhan9558 It's gonna be a brand new 10+ hour Arkham game. Of course it's interesting (if you have Quest 3 / 3S headset) on the side.
@@hamndv Everybody who have eyes to see
rocksteady might as well rename themselves to batman studios like damn i'd love green lantern or literally anyone else
Good job on working out jake, recently got into it myself. Keep at it
Id really like a cyberpunk style batman so thats why id love to see batman arkham beyond with bruce's son and hin mentoring him like Kratos in God of War with you playing as both of them
Arkham Shadow 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Very excited based on everything ive seen. The developers played all previous titles in the series and chose this as a passion project as fans if the Arkhamveree.
I want a Gotham that looks like the dark place from Alan Wake 2, and I want a new take set in that kind of world.
A Batman Beyond game that looks exactly like the animated show and links the ending of the show with the 'Epilogue' episode, letting us play through the Terry years of being a fully realized Batman with his own villain gallery would be amazing. A whole new set of gadgets and abilities to play with, a whole new set of butts to kick, and a whole new story that no one knows anything about. Uncharted territory.
But alas... That's just a dream...
Let’s get an Edge of Time style game in the Arkham-verse. Half the game in the past with Bruce and half with terry in the future. Both mysteries tied together and we see how they are different as people and crime fighters
Don’t threaten me with a good time.
YEEEEES! Some time travel must do, young Batman meets younger and Mcguinnis
This was an episode in Justice League Unlimited.
That would be nice. The best of both worlds.
James Gunn said that they will make animations and video games that connect with his DC Universe. They already announced the animated movie of the two Robins, and since the Batman movie will be The Brave and the Bold with Damian Wayne, surely it will be a Bruce with a lot of experience. I would love to see an Arkham-style game as a prequel to this Batman, not necessarily Year One, but something to get to know and explore this new universe a bit more...
I’ve wanted a Mortal Kombat game built on Arkham mechanics for many years. Like a Scorpion lead game with stealth kunai and sword kills, Arkham style combat but with MK specials for takedown style moves etc
Imagine playing as Terry's Batman in a modern cyberpunk Gotham, with flashbacks that allow you to switch to playing as Bruce's Batman in the current Gotham, both characters connected through an unresolved case.
Court of owls was one of the coolest ideas to be added to the batman mythos in recent times, an unground society fits Gotham like a hand and glove plus the idea that a cabal, akin to the league of assassins, operating underneath the nose of the world's great detective is really interesting, however I do agree that they have been overhyped in some circles and I do think that there is a lot of meat left on that bone waiting for the writing creative team to elevate them to where they belong. Please keep on creating on topics you love; you can feel your excitement for the topic through the screen,.
CYBERPUNK BATMAN BEYOND GAME 2087 PLEASE
Batman Vs The Justice League would have gone over a lot better than SS.
IF they made a fun game... I think they have had good ideas scarred by gameplay that simply isn't fun
A reboot is what I would like with an emphasis of building the Bat Family with each new game.
Like have Bruce be young in the first game with Dick as Robin and Babs as Batgirl and give you room to develop them into new persona's in sequels and introduce new members like Jason and Helena in the second game, then Tim and Cass in the third etc.
Jake "The batman Piggy" Baldino is not something i was expecting to think today but... well here we are 😂
Imagine a Batman Year One with the nemesis system. Being Batman starting out and slowly building your reputation throughout Gotham and spreading fear amongst the criminals. An open Gotham where you can drop in to fight random crime. These would be on top of the main story.
I would like to have a Batman game based on the begining of Batman and where while you advance on the story, you have options to choose on what kind of armor you will use with diferent gameplay options, like go for an armored suit that will make you slower but resist more damage, or go for a light weight suit that will make you attack faster, have diferent options on how to make your batarangs, diferent capes, and gadgets, that way you could have more replayability, with maybe some NG+ mechanics
9:44 I thought this was the natural progression for the Arkham series. Following Dick Grayson from Robin to Nightwing in a trilogy of stories. Oh well.
Arkham origins 2 would be a great story showing batmans development of building the bat family. Theres alot of potential there.
DC and WB should capitalise on Nightwing's rise in popularity right now and make a solo Nightwing game set outside the Arkham Universe. That'll also leave room for a future Batman game.
A good Nightwing game with similar story beats like Marvel's Spider-Man would be incredible.
Good for you Jake! Get those gains, and hopefully inspire some ppl to do the same
They need to do origins 2 doing the origins of the villains not in the first game. And while it's in development release a remastered version of the 1st game to renew interest since you can't get that game on modern consoles for some reason
Batman needs a Robin that he can push into dangerous situations so criminals have a brightly coloured distraction to shoot at while he’s in the shadows in full dark body armour. If Robin dies, he just replaces them with someone from one of the orphanages he owns
A continuation to Arkham origins would be great with the nemesis system.
Imagine a Batman with the Nemesis System. Gangs that have a hierarchy that lead up to some of the main villains. Would be so sick.
I’m cautiously optimistic. Sefton Hill and Jaime Walker were the ones who torpedoed Suicide Squad with the live service push and story ideas. Now that they’re gone, I think as long as they keep the core Arkham gameplay it could be good
While recognize that it likely wouldn't have the mass appeal of the straight forward, combat based gameplay of the Arkham series, I would _REALLY_ enjoy a Batman game that has a focus on detective work and puzzle, intermixed with combat. We got glimpses of that in the past, specifically with Arkham Knight by spooling through crime scene recreations to get clues, but I'd like something more.
Ideally, this would be with a younger Batman, probably pre-Arkham Origin, still piecing together what is happening in the criminal underworld of Gotham. I would see the gameplay being split into thirds; investigation/detective/puzzle work, stealth gameplay, and then combat.
Imagine a crime happens, and you nee do sneak into an apartment on a rainy, depressing night. Piece together what happened, collect clues, sneak back out and return to the batcave and then put the pieces together to come to a next lead. Following the leads until eventually you reach the villain's hideout that you need to stealth and combat your way through, to ultimately arrest and drop off at GCPD.
Keep the batmobile strictly an alternative traversal method. Make it the style of the animated series. Let's go back to the best Batman.
I know Kevin Conroy is no longer with us and I don't know what rights he gave for his voice work. But he so much dialog as Bruce/Batman recorded that you could create Batman games for decades using old voice samples. If not I'm sure one of the more prolific VAs could do a decent impersonation.
I'm good either way on if they stick with the ark or do a new one. As long as the feel and tone is the same, I'm going to enjoy what they give us. I would be happy if maybe the joker was a side character. They definitely need a new Big Bad this time around.
I loved the Nightwing in the Arkham games. That would be cool to jump back and see him before that. Maybe up to where he leaves?
Anyway. More Batman is a good thing. It better not get any Live Service crap in it!
I’d like a Batman year one game where, by the end, you are more kitted out and mature. I’d like an aspect of it to be navigating the Wayne fortunes and businesses to ensure you can grow as Batman.
It'd be so cool to see how Azrael tries to take up the mantle and honor batman. They did such a good job setting up his character it'd be awesome to see how he negotiates not killing anymore.
If they make a bat family game again, gimme Death Of The Family (joker using the skin of his face like a mask and it slowly decaying as the plot goes) - horror vibes, bat family teaming up together etc.
Hey Jake! Always loved your content. Have you ever discussed your favorite Batman comics or just comics in general?
I want a batman beyond game, imagine playing as Terry in a Gotham city but similar to night city from cyberpunk while still retaining the gothic/art deco feel.
Batman: Beyond Arkham
Doesn’t even need to be Arkham related. Just do a Batman beyond game set in a different universe than Arkham.
@@WeimE28 or you get the best of both worlds and do Beyond within the Arkham universe
@@killthomas8373 Arkham has both the joker and Batman being dead though…Maybe time to move on
@@killthomas8373Arkham needs to be put to bed. There’s so many other subtitles they could go with as it curtains to bats. Caped crusader, the dark knight etc. Arkham is over and I hope it stays that way as Batman in this medium shouldn’t be caged with the Arkham title.
@@WeimE28there is no way they will drop the Arkham brand for brand recognition reasons. If they are doing a Batman beyond game you best believe it will be tied to the Arkham trilogy.
Bruce Wayne/joker have been done to death, literally and figuratively. Beyond would let them move past those characters as there is audience fatigue there.
Either doing another prequel set in between Origins and Asylum or doing a Dick Grayson as Batman and Damian Wayne as Robin game would be my ideal options for this project
I've wanted a live action BATMAN BEYOND for about quarter century.
Thanks, thumbs up, have a great day.
They should make a Superman game in the Arkham verse
I want a Batman beyond game SOLELY for the name “Batman: Beyond Arkham” it’s so cold
I would love to see a batman game with actual Gotham with normal people living there and maybe even having Bruce Wayne in the game. Just having an all around batman experience
I wouldn't mind a game where Condoment King would come to an Arkham game... probably would give me some oregano for the Pizza you owe me, Jake.
I want a Batman Beyond game, let it start with a 1-2 Hour prelude as Bruce then switch gears to introduce Terry Wayne, just picture the futuristic almost vapor wave looking setting with what graphics can achieve now
6:40 , Commented this at the 4:00 mark 😂 glad to know the community’s thinking alike
Arkham Shadow looks like the most exciting Batman game in a long time.
I still think beyond is the best route to go down, because you could continue in the Arkham universe and still make something new and fresh, going back to classic batman just doesn't bring anything new, but having a futuristic Gotham, villains we haven't seen before in game from the Beyond universe and different stories to tell, it could distinctivley be an Arkham game but fresh enough to be something new
What if sukerpunch took a crack at a batman game? I know a samurai game is quite different to a modern batman but the gameplay loop in Ghost just feels so satisfying so maybe they could recreate that punchy Arkham combat??
Now that I can get behind. They perfectly captured a the both gritty and neon lit cities with their infamous game I can see them make a Batman game.
I want a batman game where he is actually a bat that eats people. A Jekyll and Mr Hyde like scenario where he is man by day and bat by night. Lean more into horror / possibly survival horror elements - call it batman and add all the villains as different factions. Shit would b wild.
