Don't know if any of you played the first game... I got it for Christmas, but also bought Uncharted 2 and I've been distracted by that, lol 
 
Now before someone tells me to shut up and get my butt back to Giant Bomb or something, I made this topic because I wanted your opinion on something.

^ this guy has ideas for what the next Batman game could be about, based on the trailer... It all sounds pretty exciting, so I thought I'd share it with the rest of you. What do you think?

Sounds reasonanble now I want to be Red Robin even more
Also that's society in ten years

I want a co-op and different costumes to use in gotham city. And also more importantly I want when you beat the game you can still fight crime just like in the spider-man movie games

I hate Dick as Batman, I want my Bruce Wayne!!! But I can see that some one has had a lot of time on their hands to hink this all through and lay it out for us, very interesting I must say.

Well guys, 
I agree. It would be fun for sure to play the RIP/BFTC storylines, but to be honest: The fact of Batman being killed during the Final Crisis would confuse most of the players, or even distract them, 'cause the average gamer ins't really up to the current happenings in the DC Universe. 
II don't think that Rock Steady would gamble like this on the strong name BATMAN:ARKHAM ASYLUM. 
 
but at least there's Two-Face and the Penguin featuring this second part, and a very free to explore Gotham City, hopefully.

Yeah and you are in a comic forum. 
What I am trying to say is, that only a small percentage of the gamers world wide is quite into the dc universe. It would be just to much stuff going on in the game. It would be somehow difficult to explain the death of Bruce Wayne during the final crisis, since most of the gamers just know the ruff outlines of the Batman story. Additionally Dick Grayson would have to be introduced and this whole Nightwing stuff. You just can't put all this information into the game, uness it would have half-an-hour-length cutscenes.  
The first game featured just the main idea of Morrisons Arkham Asylum, so how should the second title include RIP, Battle for the Cowl, Final Crisis and I don't know what? 
 
I guess the frame of RIP would be enough for one game.

" I hope that's it. because I would love to play RIP/Battle for the Cowl. and if that's so we may get a multiplayer experince, like mabye some tag-team free-for-all fighting extras, like the first game, but just Multiplayer this time. "

" @-Eclipse-:  Yeah buddy, sounds like some quite good solutions you give there. And that stuff with the Bat-Signals, awesome idea. I am really looking forward to this. Since Rocksteady made the first game like flawless, I am sure they won't screw up the second one.  Whua! Can't wait for it- Greetings and a fat grin^^ "

" @-Eclipse-: Did you ever play Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow?  You can absolutely do unique multiplayer modes without restraining it the way you want.  There's also the possibility of doing some type of competitive setup with the challenge rooms.  Having two players in there, trying to duke it out for the highest possible score.  An option for co-op would be interesting, but in all honesty, let's leave that to MUA and keep Robin out of this game franchise, amirite?  When it comes down to it, there are a ton of options available to Batman Arkham Asylum, and even though Rocksteady's first game didn't take off very much (Urban Chaos: Riot Response), the multiplayer had some interesting stuff going on.  In the end, I'm just hoping that the excellence of Arkham Asylum wasn't a one-time thing.

" @Roechi: I'm American. and it's MR. DEAD POOL to you "

" @-Eclipse-: as for characters to see I agree, but you left out  -Black Mask -Riddler -Fire Fly "

Being able to be Bruce Wayne in wayne enterprises so that I can make new equipment
