A great follow-up for Batman: Assault on Arkham

With the Throne of Atlantis coming up in January and Justice League: Gods and Monsters being based off of Injustice: Gods Among Us, I'm curious if Batman vs Robin is going to be any good or not. Son of Batman failed at meeting my expectations even with Deathstroke being involved. It turns out Batman vs Robin will introduce the Court of Owls but they won't be playing a crucial role in the movie.

I think the DC animators should focus on making follow ups for Batman: Assault on Arkham. For instance, one follow up can take place between Arkham Asylum and Arkham City. A group of so called "political agitators" are trapped in Arkham City because of Hugo Strange and Amanda Waller must send in the Suicide Squad to extract them.

Deadshot and Boomerang are forced to work with Waller again but this time she has leverage over them. Waller has Deathstroke kidnap Deadshot's daughter and Boomerang's son in order to gain their compliance. Killer Frost decides to work with the Suicide Squad again because she has become romantically involved with Owen Mercer aka Boomerang Jr.

The team would primarily be Deathstroke, Bronze Tiger, Deadshot, Boomerang, Copperhead, and Killer Frost. The Suicide Squad enter Arkham City and get into bloody conflicts with the various gang factions in Arkham City. Eventually, Deadshot and Boomerang realize they have been set up. Deathstroke never really kidnapped the kids. Boomerang Jr. and Deadshot's daughter were among the "political agitators" who were taken prisoner by the Tyger guards. Waller wants to tie up loose ends by having Frost, Deadshot and Boomerang killed for the botched mission at Arkham years ago.

In the end, Deathstroke, Copperhead and Bronze Tiger manage to get the hostages out and leave Deadshot at the mercy of Hugo Strange. Boomerang and Jack Drake kill each other during an altercation. As for Frost and Boomerang Jr, they escape Arkham City and live out their psychotic version of a happy ending. Batman, Nightwing and Red Robin would play a big role in this as well.

As for the follow up between Arkham City and Arkham Knight, the animators could elaborate on Azrael's prophecy about gates of hell opening in Gotham. Perhaps Hush, Killer Moth, the Black Glove, the Court of Owls and the League of Assassins could get involved in a really big way. It seems pretty clear that Arkham Knight is going to focus on a different story line which doesn't involve Azrael's prophecy.
