Dang, I was hoping the Arkham Knight was going to be the resurgent Hugo Strange. Maybe it will be cool

Batman: Arkham Knight Discussion
I hope that is Arkham Knight experimental being, made of fallen Batman enemies...
The Joker, Hugo Strange, Ra's Al Ghul, Ratcatcher... and else characters which die in previous games.... :)
Man... it will be great villain :) To have abilities of all fallen enemies.... this can include that he know and batman identity... with memories of Hugo Strange :D
The main antagonist is Crane.
Heart Of Hush....who's Elliot's mentor?....Scarecrow.
Hush's pre-story in City.
Arkham Knight being Hush(?)
@punyparker: That's makes sense but is also very predictable. I hope hush messes with Bruce Wayne's life since be already looks like him. He doesn't seem to know that Batman is Bruce Wayne in Arkham city. I really want Arkham knight to be someone completely new but thats unlikely.

We're here to drop random theories,and speculations.
That's what i did. :)
@punyparker: i know I wasnt mad at you or anything :)
@punyparker: i know I wasnt mad at you or anything :)
Yeah, i know i know.......just throwing sh!t out there,and i tag you(plural) to dismiss it... :P
@hoplite91: I'll definitely play it. It's just that I was almost starting to feel fatigue from the series and Arkham Origins came way too soon and didn't hype me up as much as the first two. So, for me and due to limited first day buys, it didn't feel like a game I would spend $60 dollars on. Also, not being from Rocksteady gave me some skepticism. The video previews and interviews weren't very convincing as well. But looking at the boss battles, those looked really fun to play, which Arkham Asylum and Arkham City were lacking.
Honestly, even under the Rocksteady, I would've groaned. Three years was definitely enough time to rest and get hyped about Batman Arkham again.
"The majority of people despise Superman." Do the 'fans' who say that have any idea what they're talking about? Batman's had enough attention, it's Superman's turn.
And I'm not feeling Arkham Knight being Joker. Too ripped and physically imposing to be Joker.
I want a Superman game but I don't think it should be set on Earth. I don't wanna fight human enemies as Superman.
Or even if it's set on Earth, it should be something related to an invasion of some kind. Stopping bank-robbers would be boring as Superman.

That would obviously bring problems to the game itself in the running technology and game design. I think that's why a Superman game has been truly difficult to make.
In all seriousness, Arkham Knight might turn out to be Hush, given that there's a good chance he's the main villain of Batman Eternal as well.
Oh noes,he can be Arkham Knight but I dont wanna read 52 issues of Hush,where did you get that from ?
When they say that is this, last arkham game... i just hope that its mean of arkham series... and that maybe will have the next - series... like... BATMAN: GOTHAM... something :)

I didn't get it from anywhere. I should have clarified that was just my guess, but I think it's a possibility. At the start of Villains Month, Dan Didio and Jim Lee gave an interview where they said Hush didn't get a one-shot like the other Batman villains because they had "big plans for him" in 2014 and they wanted to save his first New 52 appearance for that. I doubt he's showing up in Justice League or Futures' End, but Eternal is a prominent enough platform for his return. There was also this preview page from Eternal #1 where the villain calls Batman "Bruce" (rather than "Wayne") and talks about stripping everything away from Batman, which has been one of Hush's objectives in the past.
Side note: Between Riddler, the Court of Owls, Leviathan and now Eternal, I wonder what property values in Gotham are like.
There should be an Arkham-esque Batman game based on the '60s TV series featuring all of its campy goodness. Seriously, imagine taking down enemies and having the word balloons pop up on-screen! And driving around bright and colorful Gotham in the Batmobile. Adam and Burt could even reprise their voice roles.
There's no way a game like that would pull enough sales to be worth it for a developer. Now, a funky dlc for an existing game like Arkham Knight, which takes the code and mechanics but tips the style on it's head would be feasible and awesome. I'm thinking Blood Dragon for Far Cry 3
This is a fvcking awesome page....
Rocky Steady is back!! Thank you!! I mean, I loved Arkham Origins and all, but it's nice to have the crew back. And the Batmobile, genius!! I have high hopes for this game.

I.....what?!.....
How is it in-continuity?!!!
Anyway,if it's true,i'm dissapointed...i wanted Dick.
Aaw man, if Damien turns out to be the Arkham Knight and he kills Bruce at the end of the game and you get to play as the Arkham Knight during free-roam and changes the gameplay so that you can shoot people and kill them.. I would be okay with that

sssssh only dreams now
@punyparker: it kinda makes sense though. In city for the challenge maps for Tim there's a red robin skin, and Tim only became red robin after Damian. Also Talia mentions a night in metropolis she spent with batman so Damian being around kinda makes sense although he must've been around pre Arkham asylum too
A recent update from the Arkham series' official Facebook page had the Arkham Knight call Batman "old man" so it's quite likely he'll be younger than Bruce.
The old man also fits with the circulating red hood theory.
Arkham Knight,Red Hood,Nightwing,Batman,Robin,Red Robin,Wing Man,damn how many identities does Jason need. Still I hope Jason does turn out to be Arkham Knight,better him than Hush,infact he should adopt this costume and persona in the comics too. The Red Hood never made any sense to me.
@entropy_aegis: Yeah, I'll be pissed if it's Hush. He needs to have that one iconic look that Hush has. Jason has so many identities it's like one more won't matter. Having multiple identities is almost his thing.
@entropy_aegis: He took the mantle of Red Hood to mock the Joker and Bats. However, it's kinda redundant now since he doesn't really need to mock them anymore. So I'm cool with him being the Arkham Knight.
@deathstroke52: The "old man" line wouldn't make much sense given that Hurt is a few centuries older than Bruce.
@saren: yeah, I was kinda joking when I said Hurt. He's been alive for a long time LOL XD
I'm calling it now
Arkham Knight is Jason Todd
Damien Wayne is a playable character in the game ( just like how Catwoman was)
Hush is a sub villian in the game
( I hope they have Batgirl, Nightwing,Robin aka Tim Drake, Catwoman, and Damien alongside Harley Quinn for the Challenge Maps)
Then it would be a fitting finale
@ninjablade09: so Arkham knight is a robot? I'm not sure how I feel about that
@jayc1324: they said he was controlled from another place which adds to the theory I have that Amadeus is alive.
here is the thing, jokers body was taken by ras and the league revived through the lazarus pit and trained by the league of assasins thus the arkham knight was born
@ninjablade09: That f*ckin Batmobile engine sound .........i'm gonna cry...... XD!!!!
And HA!...now you like Kevin!!!
Arkham Knight is Batman's hallucination. A representation of the younger, more lethal vigilante he'd need to become to truly save Gotham. The greatest fight in Arkham Knight, is Batman vs. himself. A battle of morals.

Joker was cremated, and Rocksteady confirmed he's not coming back.
@punyparker: did you hear about the rumors that the game has been delayed to 2015?

What movie? BvS has been pushed to 2016.
@punyparker: well its just a rumor right now and the official site for the game still has it listed as a 2014 game

Oh yeah,forgot about that......it's probably because ,now, i care little about the f*ckfest they're calling "Batman VS Superman"
@punyparker: well its just a rumor right now and the official site for the game still has it listed as a 2014 game
Dont change please.
@jayc1324: I am not excited to hear that Geoff Johns has invented a new villian for this game. He needs to stay as far away from batman or anything related to batman as possible.
I disagree with this. Geoff Johns is one of the most esteemed comic book writers of our time, and is one of the key contributors to the "New 52", as well as writing a few "Marvel Now" comics. If it wasn't Geoff Johns, it would have to be Grant Morrison though.
