Anyway back to topic. If they do bring Catwoman back i hope they improve her skills to climb bulidings. But i hope they make Batgirl a playable character. Also i forgot to say in my reply why did you say Red Hood be a villain and a playable character?

Well, we'll just have to wait and see when the game takes place. Honestly, if it is going to be a prequel showing Batman's first time tangoing with Mr. J, then there would be so many characters that would not be around. Harley Quinn, for one, and likely not Batgirl or Tim Drake as Robin. We might, MIGHT, see a young Dick Grayson as Robin, but that's uncertain.

As for there being a bigger sandbox, the way around that is to come up with driving/flying controls and let us have the Batmobile and/or Batwing.

1.Fixed again,2. Well i'll agree with you there about Red Hood.

Anways, the Redhood(& former Robin) would be a fun parallel to playing as Batman. He's had advanced training and, most likely, his own arsenal & variety of gadgets. Jason's morals of how to deal with criminals has strayed from the dark knights teachings.
Back to symbolizing. the Redhood persona was once used by the Joker, as hinted in AC review tapes. "...and all it(the box) had in it was a crazy red dome & a cloak!", & I wouldn't be suprised if Jason's body was a vessel for Joker, like Tim was in Batman Beyond. I noticed some cadmus labs posters in HQR so I speculated. Again, those were just my thoughts.

I think leaving Azrael and Hush hanging would be a bit off though. We're talking two big stories here in the Batman lines. It would be a bit odd to skip onto Redhood when the Hush story leads right into it and he was already introduced. I wouldn't be surprised though, but I feel that if they want to bring Redhood in, they will have to deal with Hush first. It could even be the same game. There is ~10hrs to tell the story after all.

If they are serious about the Joker being dead, then Azrael and Hush are very strong possibilities. We're talking about what are now, the two biggest stories(up to debate) that don't include the Joker as a major character.

That's pretty much what I was going for in one of my previous posts. Maybe some introduction in the naxt game, like we got with HUSH & Azreal.

...or they could do the cheap option, continuing the Titan storyline via Scarecrow as a priamry antagonist whilst simultaneously telling a prequel story of Batman's first conflict with Joker.

The thing is, we won't know what's going on until Rocksteady/WB actually officially announces something. Everything we've heard thus far is rumor.

as far as rumors go,we can't go off them. There were rumors of me,back in high school, that I wanted to marry & have sex with my best friend. Other parts of the rumor scared her & it ruined my freshmen year so lets keep in mind that, until we hear an official announcement, everything's speculation, NOT facts

[Johro]

Of course, we're probably waiting years if they do another sequel. That's if they go forward with the next game they're talking about. I'm not so sure it would be successful and I hope they have the same doubts. Dini did a fantastic job in Asylum of taking what everybody knew about Batman and expanding upon it. City had some loose ends and could've been done slightly better(compared to Asylum). Now someone is going to destroy this "world" trying to retcon it. These origin stories have been told and retold and while Dini just let them exist and didn't pigeon hole one story or another, alienating certain fans, this next instalment, will.

A good game is a good game, but pleasing such a wide spectrum of fans, is very hard and I don't think they're going to respect that. I'm not even the least bit excited about the latest idea and honestly, I hope it's scrapped.

Maybe if go and try blowing up random walls in Arkham City we might find a secret room with plans for an Arkham World.

Even if these rumors are true, I've yet to see anything about a retcon.

[Johro]

It's pretty hard to make a prequel within the universe, especially one that's going to be ~10hrs long and not retcon anything while trying to tie everything in. The thing also is that everybody except the die-hard fans, love retconning. They think it's clever and it wraps the new property around the existing famous property. Sometimes it works, usually it doesn't. I just think they're playing with fire on this.

Oh and I'm not talking about a dismissal retcon. That would just be crazy for them to do. I was more implying the "oh we forgot to mention" retconning that is quite common in comics.

One of the best Joker lines:

Joker:Gotta give the boy points he came all the way from the dead to make the party happen!

It shows even when the Joker is in risk of being killed he still can make jokes and it is followed up by a great part between Red Hood/Jason Todd and Batman about why Batman won't kill Joker.

Read the last post I made concerning what I was sold in the Whatever’s On Your Mind tread. Great deal I got!

[Darth Marsden]

You mean this post? Yeah, that's a pretty good deal!
