It looks epic, despite there not being any gameplay footage. I wish Origins wasn't made. It brought down the series for me. A trilogy would have been perfect. Four games seems like overkill.

Origins series will continue though. I liked Origins, story was better than AC for me.

IGN posting on the little information for the game. www.ign.com/articles/2014/03/04/the-new-batman-game-is-batman-arkham-knightSo glad to see Rocksteady completing their trilogy of the Arkham series. The sad thing is Origins has potential, but you really appreciated how much Rocksteady put into the first two games, when you played Origins, without them. Asylum and City were great games, Origins was ok. Absolutely hated the final battle with Bane. Glad even though the Joker is gone we still have Harley Quinn. I've been a fan since they debuted her on the Animated Series. I'm assuming Nolan North is going to be back doing Penguin, which would make me happy, since I loved his take on Cobblepot. I know Scarecrow being back will be good news for many, and it will be nice to see Two-Face as an adversary for Batman as apposed to Catwoman in City. I would have loved to have see Deathstroke get brought over from Origins. He was a bit of a let down in that game. Yeah it was great to see him as a formidable enemy for Batman, but you fought him too early in the game, and then once you beat him, he's gone, except for the two scenes in BlackGate. Very cool to see that the Batmobile is drivable in the game too. I have a lot of faith that Rocksteady will put their trilogy to pasture in great fashion. Definitely looking forward to this, and might push up my time line of getting PS4 too.

This looks like it might be another prequel. While I'll still buy the crap out of it, I'd like a continuation of the Arkham City story.

As long as The Joker isn't back. Love the character, but I am sick to death of everything Batman related having him in it. It's overkill.

It looks like the only Joker link in this game, is Harley Quinn being one of the villains to appear. But of course we're still real early in information about it too. My guess though is since it's in the Rocksteady Arkham world again, since they killed him in City, he's going to be dead in Knight.

If they do bring back Joker, they better pay Hamill however much money he wants to do it.

I always thought it sucked that they didn't allow you to have free roam of Arkham City with Robin, if you had the Harley Quinn's Revenge, like you could with Catwoman.

I saw the Rocksteady logo and already know the game will be better than Origins.
I just hope that the Batmobile being driveable doesn't mean that the world map is going to be so big that we have to drive everywhere. I much preferred exploring all the rooftops and alleyways with the glide and grappling hook. I feel like I'll end up just missing a lot of stuff and have to go back for it later if I'm driving. It doesn't help that I find open world games to be mind-numbly boring. I also hope they don't add a bunch of pointless, repetitive side missions. Even the the tedious Riddler challenges in City all had different ways to go about doing them.
So I guess I'm basically saying don't turn this into a crapty GTA clone. lol. I have faith in Rocksteady to do a tremendous job though.

They should do that with robin, like have his own story like catwoman and have certain places you can switch, OR!! You could have robin follow batman and help him fight kinda like in origins where batman and Gordon fought people. Oh the possibilities.

I really hope they throw some sort of twist in like they did before. Arkham Asylum was great, but I loved the Clayface twist in City as well as the Black Mask.Joker twist.
I am so pumped for this game, but I wish they would have made it for PS3 or 360. Kinda sucks because I really don't want to buy a whole new system just to play 1 game.

Yeah, it's the first Arkham game I won't be buying. I'm not upgrading just for one game. I'll just watch a full walk-through on youtube then.

Why would they ruin the surprise of a possible Joker return on the first day? I net he will be back.

No he wasn't. He said it'd take a hell of a good story to get him back. He doesn't want to go out on a flop, he wants to go out with the best Joker-story he's done. So if he finds something better than Arkham City, he'd come back. At least, that's how I've perceived his take on it in interviews.
