    For story? Whoever. For challenge maps? I want Batman (duh), all Robins and their alts (Dick, Tim, Jason, Damien, Nightwing, Red Hood, Red Robin and any I may have missed), Batgirl (don't care which one), Gordon, pre-acid Harvey.... Pretty much any "hero" that's thrown a punch.

    Pace yourself young fella.

    Give me a talking Nightwing. Also I would like all of his costumes

    Give me whichever Batgirl doesn't talk (not a sexist thing, just think that is a bad ass characteristic) also the SKINS for the other looks.

    Give me Red Hood with the ability to kill people, as well as a Robin-esque skin

    Give me a crazy Batman who punches harder, snaps legs in a more painful way etc.

    Love the Gordon Idea

    Give me Bruce w/o the suit. Don't really care what he is wearing...actually give him a suit with no Bat accesories

    give me more skins, and perhaps certain skins that give you certain benefits and weaknesses (i.e. Returns Batman is slower but more powerful and has better gadgets, year one batman has less gadgets all together, etc.)

    Give me Azrael

    and finally, give me a single villain. Wouldn't mind seeing a Bane on Venom instead of Titan so he isn't so over powered. LOVEEE the pre-acid Harvey idea, but only if this is a sequel and not a prequel

    This is awesome. One thing I would tweak is put Scarecrow in Challenge Mode B if they give him his Violent Dancing.

    Rocksteady better be reading this. GameFAQs has good ideas for once.

    I heard the next game is going to be a prequel. Hopefully it would be a foreshadowing for the next Arkham game. But I would love to see Red Hood.

    Done.

    Also, I'd like to add that all side mission/co-op chars are useable in free-roam after beating the main story (if free-roam co-op is possible, PLEASE AND THANK YOU). And before missions featuring 2 heroes at once, player 1 can choose who he/she wants to use for the mission.

    The Rainbow Creature. And I'm not even joking. I would be so happy if they actually put him(it?) in the game.

    Anyone can win, but no one can show off like I can.

    Scarecrow, first and foremost. Let Gotham tremble before the Master of Fear.

    Preferably nobody outside Batmans universe, as in, no Superman, Wonder Woman, etc.

    Have Batman, Batgirl and Robin playable in the single player mode with their own move sets, I don't really care if the cutscenes have Batman in them by default I just want to go around beating people up and flying around the city as someone other than Batman.

    Maybe have a few of Batman's vehicles available as well.

    And skins from all the Batman movies, Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever, Batman Begins, Dark Knight/Rises, and any other suit he's worn, as well as skins for Batgirl and Robin.

    badjab326, this is great. You are great. The only thing I'd add is that you should be a playable character.

    The Lego games prove that even dismemberment can be cute.

    haha thanks man. I'm glad these ideas are getting positive reception. Might be worth noting to Rocksteady.

    However I think companies are afraid of making perfect games, as it really limits possibilities for sequels, and forces people to take risks and be really creative. For financial purposes it's generally better to stay safe and add 1 major thing per update and keep the series going to make more money off of more games.

    For example, if they make another game we might see 1 or 2 more characters, and the ability to use batvehicles, but no co-op or playable villains, which they're saving for the next game to cash in on. The problem with this idea is that the storytelling tends to go downhill after the first few entries, and while the game may be packed with features (or not as they may have taken some out i.e. playable Joker in AA but not in AC)

    There's a reason requests are almost never filled by games.

    Anyway I found a cool fake screenshot that shows a bit of what I'd like to see in the next Arkham game.

    come on, how awesome would that be?

    As far as the skins go, you should be able to access them from the start if you buy them as DLC without having to use a cheat each time.
  • Jan 21, 2013 6:07 pm GMT
    Lets talk about the villains. I would love to see Scarecrow, the Court of Owls, and the Dollmaker.

    Pfff, Batman only had that when Dick was Robin. Now he just beats the s*** out of them.

    I want Jason Todd and Barbara Batgirl Gordon. The fact that she's crippeled can be solved by Batman throwing her headfirst into a lazarus pit. Although they've never explicitly stated she's paralyzed.

    And Nightwing and Robin should have a bigger role in the next game.
