So, does anyone else think the Riddler sounds like David Cross?

God damn I love this game, just so awesome. The final boss fight was quite lame though, they could have do a lot more with the game play, but I loved everything else. I am so ****ing glad there's a map to the riddler's stuff. More games should do that. The fighting is absolutely amazing the invisible predator is fun as hell.
I want a sequel, now! I want to explore the rest of gotham, I want to team up with otehr Bat allies, but most of all the one thing I wanted to do since beating the game, is fight superman. I don't know why. I'm not a fanboy, but I just want to take him on after playing this game. I just now feel as bad *** as Batman.
This game is all kinds of win

I must suck. I have had this game since the day it was released and I am still only about 43% complete.

Killer Croc is lame.

I believe he meant the story. 100% means you beat the game, collected all the riddler's trophies/challenges, and beat all the challenges collected all the task necessary. I'm at about 92% and don't predict that changing much. All I have is to beat the scores on the fighting challenges but I find the later extreme challenges too frustrating
I really enjoyed the "fight" it fit perfectly with Batman and I like how the game doesn't get too formulaic. Like how Scarecrow and Croc's story ends, it's a bit more unpredictable and make the universe feel full and original.

I'm not finished yet, but the whole "walking across pontoons tracking down mushrooms" **** is way too drawn out.

Ahh. I see. So at my 43% I am prob well over halfway through the story portion of the game. Cool. I don't really care much about the challenges. Haven't played any yet. I'll go back and get Riddler trophies tho.

I personally didn't find it that drawn out, but that may just be me.
The challenges are either fight 3-4 rounds with a group of enemies or invisible predator which is basically just like times in the game where you have to take out a room full of enemies with out being seen. They also have special takedown challenges that showed me interesting ways to take people out I hadn't considered before.

Hmmm...that sounds like it could possibly be entertaining. I was thinking they were going to be like the challenges in MUA which I found to be very frustrating.

If there's a sequel, who should it be about?
They already used Joker, so how about Ra's? Or maybe even Black Mask

About that...remember Ra's
body bag
Go looking at it again after you beat the game.
The main villain IMO should be one of three people from the alternate ending. I choose
Scarecrow
Titan container
However here is how I would do it. It'd be set on Gotham not just the Arkham Asylum. Or maybe a section of the city as we don't need to big the level as this game's map size would perfect maybe a bit bigger.
So it could be an abandoned area of the city.
Kind of like begins Scarecrow unleashed his gas on the city.
Scarecrow
He recruits some of batman's villains and pretty much batman has to go in. Now this leaves a new mission type as there is mote hostage missions. The villains I'd choose to be recruited :
Two-face
Clayface
Catwoman
Mr freeze
Riddler (as he must be out to have left clues in first one but was not fought)
The Penguin
Killer Croc & Bane
I would have chose others like Mad Hatter but I tried to pick villains who you could see been recruited or hired or even just been there in this power struggle so they needed some logical reason. Most are money and power hungry mob types. Catwoman can be hired as she has before.
If they wanted to be kinda different and kinda smart then have Mr freeze
been hit by Scarecrow gas and his fear is batman's killed his wife. Scarecrow hides his wife learning the fear and there go for him.
Now some may not like this but I'd add robin. However I'd only add Robin for extra maps like challenge mode or the DLC maps from this so you can have co-op / multiplayer fun. In the main story i'd use some line once to explain no robin e.g Robin is busy with teen titans or something.

I'm avoiding this thread for fear of spoilers, but I got the super fun happy slide edition for my birthday and it's the best game I've played in a loooong time. I try to only play it late at night, too. Walking through those corridors at 3am
was the most memorable videogame experience I've had in ages.
The Scarecrow stuff is ball-obliteratingly awesome.

It's basically just like levels in the game you could play over and over
I heard an interesting idea to do it as No Man's Land. But I'd perfer to see Gotham a bit more open than post earth quake
I don't remember Ra' body bag? I must find this
I think No Man's Land would be the best idea for a follow up. Maybe add other characters like Tim, Dick, Cass and Steph

I don't think a follow-up necessarily needs to take place in the same continuity. I'd like to see a sandbox style Batman game, but it seems like it would take a lot of work to overhaul the system and apply it to that kind of setting. If that sort of thing were to happen, I wouldn't jump straight into No Man's Land though. I'd LOVE to see a No Man's Land style Batman video game story eventually, but I think something less ambitious would be a better place to start. I'd like to see the first more open world follow-up to be about the rise of the lunatic criminals as Batman shuts down organized crime.
If Rocksteady decides to do a follow-up that fits more into the Arkham Asylum formula (which seems the sensible route to me), I think Santa Prisca would be a pretty interesting setting.
I'd also like to see a more stylized art style. While AA looked really, really great, I'm kind of sick of the uber-realistic, big-muscled, gritty style that's been so in vogues for the video games of the last five years.

I would like it if you could play as Tim, Dick, Cass and Steph. Like a post game bonus. Or my unrealistic dream to have online multiplayer
I would like it to, it doesn't have to be strict, but it would be nice to keep it close.
I don't think so, because this one is already basically a sandbox game. Though doing it on the level of say Spider-man may be unrealistic. But they could definitely let you explore certain districts in Gotham that are important. Have a cutscen that shows you traveling to another district.

I'd like to see something where it is set up alomost like GTA only with Batman. Over the course of the game your missions are to unravel various plots from an assortment of characters which can be retellings of in continuity stories or new.
But this way you could work in various characters, villians and good guys, pretty easily. Villians I'd like to play against would be a Clayface, Riddler, Ras, Catwoman. Plus there could even smaller side missions for more b-listers like Ventriloquist or Mad hatter etc. And some missions could team you up with various characters, ie Robin, Huntress, Nightwing or just solo.
The play style of the game could still be pretty much what it is but the player chooses the order of missions and all that. You'd have access to the Batcave as your homebase where you can save and heal. Plus all your vehicles and toys, alt costumes etc.

This story could easily fit into the DCAU continuity and could be the reason why Arkham gets shut down and condemned between JLU and Batman Beyond. You could also imagine it as a prequel to Dark Knight Returns, explaining the complete overhaul into the Arkham Home for the Emotionally Troubled.
Anyway, I'm not crazy about No Man's Land in general, but the same designers + Dini could easily do something great with it.
But I'd much rather see them do another original story as a sequel to this. I don't think something the size of GTA/the Spidey games would be unfeasible at all, but I think what was cool about this was exploring one cohesive area with its own deep history.
An idea I think would work would be to call it Batman: Crime Alley and have it all take place in the Gotham ghetto. One of the
I want to think about this a lot more, but I think they could easily create a great game out of that.
Either way though, it's going to be nearly impossible to come up with as good a premise and setting as Arkham for a game like this, and this game was so totally satisfying in that regard that a city-sizer would probably be the best choice overall if they decided to make a sequel. Heck, you know what? Actually call it Batman: Grand Theft Gotham. I can just see Hamill's Joker in the trailer delightfully spewing some line like "all you putzes are too concerned with the little picture.... next thing you know a guy's walking away with the whole damn town!".

three characters frome the alternate endings, or maybe all three, could come back with the Titan supply and start using that in some way. Have the mob get a hand in it, or have there be a gang war between them and the Titan-crazed mini army of the villains, and in the mean time be uncovering the secrets of the 150-year-old ghetto, right down to the sewers and subways. The Joker could show up as well.
