Where can we take Batman games from here? What would your dream batman game be after Arkham Knight?
>>720005687
>>720005687Batfamily tactical turn based game. Literally just do Midnight Suns but Bat.
>>720005687I hate that they took the word "goon" from us.I don't want to be a henchman, I don't want to be a thug, I don't want to be a crook.I wanna be a goon dammit. But they've changed how the world sees that word.
>>720005687Hopefully nowhere. Just let the franchise die already. The trilogy is complete no need to fuck it up with more trash games.
>>720006431>henchmanHenchperson
>>720005687Early Batman story that takes place over a whole year with different weather and calendar based missable events and such. Bonus for utilizing something like the nemesis system to grow the goons
>>720005687I always thought they should have done a Catwoman game. Her sections were always fun.
>>720005687A direct follow-up to knight? Just go straight to batman beyond. As an entirely stand alone title trying to do something different? Cassandra Cain kung fu focused street level game.
>>720006431hench4life brother…
>>720005687I always saw Co-op batman as the next step for the series. Then they decided to do that but without fucking batman. A game all about batman and robin fighting together just makes sense, some of the best parts of Arkham Knight was when you were doing just that
>>720007408Imagine all the sex countermoves we'd get
>>720005687The new Lego Batman game looks to be Arkham 5 in all but name, so instead I'd like something arcadey. Either something in the vein of the Sunsoft platformer or a beat-em-up.
>>720006431yeah, it's been completely dumbed down
>>720006431is this post ironic? goon meant thug decades before it had anything to do with jerking off
>>720005687I've been thinking of playign the man games again but I've already played them :/
>>720006431the turkey man? i like it.
>>720005687Full on detective game where you solve murder mystery like obra din without knowing if the answer is 100% correct pr not with combat that of team ninja
Lego Batman will fix
>>720005687>Batman Beyond>Map about the size of Insomniac's Spiderman>Actual bossfights>Story written by Scott Synder and Paul Dini You can keep most of the stuff from Knight.
>>720011389You are very autistic.
>>720007408Eh, I think the reason why it ever worked was because there weren't a lotCatwoman herself is really boring so I'm not sure if she could legit hold a full game herself
>>720011389Are you literally brain damaged? Reread that post
>>720005687Arkham Beyond with TerryAnd all the characters, especially the chicks, keep their proportions from the tv show
>>720006104its the only way. Mixed with Paul Pope's Year 100.Batman, on his 100th anniversary in 2039, is revived by Lazarus Pit or whatever and tasked with saving the world from a coterie of costumed villainsPlanet Arkham
>>720005687Can we have fun, campy Batman again?
>>720011660>>720011739please be nice...
>>720012128hmmmmnyo!
>>720007408>>720011704I hate zoomers so much it's insane.
>>720005687I don't know who drew that, but I need them to know I appreciate the LEGO henchman face.
>>720005687>Where can we take Batman games from here?Kevin Conroy is dead. As far as I'm concerned, DC should just retire the character altogether.
>>720011246>new Lego Batman game looks to be Arkham 5 in all but nameExcept it's fucking Lego. Which completely ruins it.
>>720012696I care more about the gameplay than the presentation.
>>720006431there is another
>>720006210Batfamily fans don’t like or understand Batman
>>720011964>Paul Pope's Year 100My fucking nigger.
>>720012118Just do a game where the bat multiverse gets bat fractured and different areas of the batmap are different eras of Batam along with the playable Batman getting changed with the area
>>720014160>multiverseew no thanks
>>720014231thats bat multiverse you uneducated ruffian
>>720006431What's the deal bat guy I'm just goonin here!
>>720012503Do you think Batman didn’t exist before TAS, dipshit?
>>720005687I want a Batman game with a real Batcave. The giant penny, the T-rex, all the trophies along with a batcomputer you can use. Change costumes in the armory, and actually speed out of the cave in the batmobile
>>720014773You can do all of that in Lego Batman 2 but, you know. Lego game
>>720014773Wasn't the batcave in arkham knight
>>720014889Origins had a Batcave. But it was more for show
>>720014889No, there’s only a gay watchtower. Arkham City had the batcave as a challenge map. I think it had the T-Rex. And the VR game had a full batcave but no one cares about VR games
>>720014889>>720014926And Origins Batcave was like year 2 Batman with no cool shit in it. Car wasn't finished, neither was the cave.People really want that "Batman Experience" just to look around the cave, and then speed out of it in your car with the Batman theme blaring. That's the good stuff. >Press X to pet Ace
>Arkham BeyondIt would be a hard sell. Beyond isn't so popular it could sell to normies who know next to nothing about Batman besides the names of his big villains. Especially not now there's no Conroy to do Old Bruce and Will Friedle has retired from Terry McGinis without Conroy to act alongside.
>>720005687The lego game unironically looks like a better arkham sequel than the two studio killing flops
>>720006431You can still use Crony
>>720012118You had it, but people complained it wasn't gritty and dark like BTAS.
>>720005687Make an isometric Batman game.
>>720015869>invent an OC Donut Steel nemesis for Batman>it's some Cosmic DC tier bullshitProps on them for keeping Joker out of it as long as they did but wow, they had no idea what to actually do with the concept in the end
really hope the new lego batman game has tight controlsthere are so many fun looking lego games but holy shit their kbnm controls ass and has been for two decades
>>720015552>It would be a hard sellI mean that was basically the initial reaction to AA when it first got announced.
>>720016073What the fuck are you talking about? Mite Fall is one if the most well regarded animated batman things out there. Literally a perfectly ending to a show like tBatB
>>720016073This is bait right?
>>720012503Not the character altogether, but definitely the Arkham series. If they HAVE to make more like it, then just name it something else. Let the series rest with Kevin.
>>720016546>Literally a perfectly ending to a show like tBatBIt's literally the showrunners bitching the show got cancelled when they had plans for another full season at least.
>>720017052And? Every show ends eventually, having your silver age batman show end with an actual going away party was a perfect choice. Also do you seriously not know who batmite is?
>>720006431>I don't want to be a henchmanspeak for yourself
>>720005687>Joker>Bane>Penguin >Riddler>Mad Hatter >Falcone>Maroni>Two FaceIf you had to work for one, who's the ideal villain to work for?
>>720017394Bane, by a lot. I mean it depends on the interpretation of course but on average he's going to the mist "fair" and level headed of that bunch.
I want a mega autistic super difficult detective game that's set in Gotham
>>720017394Mr. Freeze
Just throwing it out there in the future, but what about an Absolute universe Batman game?
>>720012863I'd rather not throw all my standards in the trash but you do you
>>720016452At least the regular Joe could sort of understand who Joker, Bane, Poison Ivy and Scarecrow were even if they'd never watched the animated series. Beyond is limited almost entirely to itself and comic spinoffs only read by people who cared about the show.
>>720018251Not him but one could argue these lesser knowns in Beyond mean less likelihood of the general audience having hangups about execution. For the most part it would be fresh and new to them
>>720017052Being able to have an entire episode devoted to calmly wrapping up your own show is the most any of these projects can ask for. Case in point, the only thing anyone remembers about BtB is that is was teased there.
>>720018251If you smack BATMAN on it and market it correctly people will come. The real challenge would be finding a studio that could actually do it justice.
>>720007007The man in henchman stands for human.The term would be exclusively masculine if it were instead "henchmale", "henchwoman" and "henchperson are therefore redundant terms.
>>720012503Man, his voice was cool as fuck and all but it was also consistently flat. Every single fucking line was delivered the same way. Batman isn't the most expressive character in all comics maybe and Arkhamverse Bamham is experienced and a badass but still, he's still a fucking human
>>720017394Ignoring all the meta shit, Falcone because he's really just a regular business-like human mobster. He's destined to lose and/or die really early, way before most of the other characters in that list even debut so that kinda hampers things.Pingwin is also Falcone but a bit more over the top in most iterations, I guess he would be the most ideal realistically.
>>720017394The regular mobsters are ironically probably the least likely to kill you and/or send you to your death just because.
>>720005687WB is so fucked that they aren't doing shit.
>>720018973They're more likely to do that than Bane.
>>720006431goon has been a degen term since somethingawful though.
>>72000568760s batman game
>>720017394Honestly Riddler, he's got his stupid OCD shit but he's not likely to kill you over a fuck up. The Bat isn't likely to crack your skull either, since you're usually doing low level crime, and by the time the riddle gets solved its usually the boss vs the bat.
>>720019069Bane only had three cronies he ever cared about, any regular thug is disposable to him
Honestly, I'm just not too fond of the Bat.He gets to beat and injure a person and gets called a hero for it, but if I do it they call it assault to the third degree.
>>720005687The only reason these games were good at all was because it was Rocksteady who made them. I have no hopes for any other titles.
>>720018973Sounds good until the Penguin makes a move on their turf and you get shot in a drive by
>>720019454Falcone/Maroni will hit you with an "Eyyyy, gabagool!" and shoot you or throw you under the bus because they're stereotypical Mafia guys. Penguin will do the same because he's insecure and thinks you looked at him funny.Bane just won't give enough a fuck about you to do that because he's on his own grind for his own mission with schemes inside of schemes.
>>720006431also those stupid movies ruined calling goons minions
>>720018835Minor detail but I hate how all the Rocksteady games got rid of his grunts of effort/exertion after Asylum. It was a minor detail but it emphasized even as a peak human this shit wasn't easy for him. Only Origins brought the grunts back.
>>720019384Yeah but you got to hide all the stupid puzzles around town just so the bat wacks you and you tell him where they are anywayNot worth it
>>720019916Well he's gonna beat you up regardless of your faction
>>720019384>he's not likely to kill you over a fuck upHe killed Kite Man's son that one time
>>720019916Bat doesnt need to whack me, ill tell him where it is with a really easy riddle
>>720021006We dont talk about King batman
>>720021463They just rebooted to Batman #1 and Alfred's still dead. His legacy endures whether we like it or not.
>>720019459Are you SAVING people anon?
>>720021917Saving them from boredom unlike that caped freak.
>>720021006That was attempted character assassination from a gruntled writer and you know it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEge8e0qBNEWhatever they do, hire the dialogue writers from City lmao
>>720005687the new lego batman looks unironically good
>>720012118How about a Batman that isn't a psychopath ninja and goes back to his super intelligent quasi vampire hunter roots?
MOM SAID IT*S MY TURN TO BE JOKER NOW!
>>720018747>The man in henchman stands for human.No, it most certainly does not. The plural of henchman is henchmen.
gonna post some underrated, underdiscussed batkino
The arkham games are too good, I don’t know how they could follow them up today>>720015869Just started rewatching this show and it’s fucking kino.
>>720022685Yes? Plural of human is humen Or are you one of thoze guys who went to "college"?
>Batman wakes up in a mental ward, the doctors inform him that his time as the Dark Knight is a carefully constructed mental coping mechanism
>>720022502Stupid storyline but Catwoman Beyond can get it in all nine of her clones
>>720006431damn SA for taking it from us...oh you're talking about your cock aren't you
>Batman is hot on the trail of some cop killers, but a fleck of paint on the perp's escape vehicle unveils a more pressing matter
>>720022971Bruce fantasized about this at some point
I LIEK CHOCOLATE MILK
Did you guys know that Gotham is cursed?
>>720023942Multiple curses even!
>Capeshit
>A serial killer forces Batman to confront a greater evil.
>>720023942By an ancient lovecraftian evil... (Arkham.... geddit??!!)And if I remember correctly the Council of Owls storyline ended up as some kind of cosmic shit too.
>>720023968Really? i just found out this little piece of lore.
What about instead of fighting the crooks, Batman just kisses their bellies until they surrender. And right before he kisses a belly he goes "Bat-kiss!" and little hearts show floating on the screen.
>>720024146>By an ancient lovecraftian evil... (Arkham.... geddit??!!)It's all adding up now lol Also yeah Court of Owls had some supernatural elements iirc
>>720024146>"The Parliament of Owls in and of itself was founded by people descended from the Tribe of Judas, who worshipped the Bat God Barbatos. Its true mission was to infect the blood of a son of the House of Wayne who had been prophesied to take on the persona of a bat, with five metals originating in the Dark Multiverse.">"Whoops it wasn't secret organisation but Gods and Dark Multiverses"Good thing I realised a long time ago I am not in the target audience anymore.
>>720006431I just call the generic henchmen in my setting "soldiers".The more advanced and powerful henchmen who actually pose a meaningful threat to the protagonist are " warriors", "assassins" and such.
>>720024648That's a nice caste system but "soldato" is a pretty high rank in organised crime if that is what you are going for.
>>720019384>Wants you to go get something from the store for him>Instead of telling you he gives you a riddle Fucking Supermarket Sweep over here
>Terry, to truly be a good Batman you need to star in good video games.
>>720025770>taking advice from what is basically the worst Batman
>>720005687That's not how the Fear Multi-Takedown works.
>>720015869People don't know what they missed until its gone.
take him out of Gotham City. That's the problem with those Arkham games. They all look the same past a certain point.
>>720026359The aesthetic is part of the appeal.
>>720011008Nauseating. Imagine all the herpes shes collecting.
>>720026664they've made like four or five of those games at this point though. Batman can go other places.
>>720017274What do you think i means
>>720018025The 90's called, they want their edgy tryhard comic back
>>720012118a campy batman game would be so kino, fund it
>>720017394>JokerYou're more than expendable, you're an inevitable punchline, you're gonna have to do some fucked up shit and it's not even clear if you're gonna get paid. If you're ex circus you may get better treatment>BaneIf he's in his default state, great guy. Cares for his henchmen, smart enough not to get you caught. If he's been juicing he's a meathead that may use you as a melee weapon>PenguinActual businessman, can probably keep your goon job quiet for a while under him. He may freeze you to death in the iceberg lounge if he thinks you're mocking him.>RiddlerYou will be tasked with painting questions marks all over city hall. He will call you stupid. Still better than most other options>mad hatterYou don't want those allegations on your record>FalconeOld style monster, bit of class to the gig. Hemorrhaging guys to the gimmicky villains due to changing times. Best linguini you ever had.>MaroniSame as falcone but tagliatelle >two faceIf you survive the interview coin flip he's surprisingly competent. Expect plans to pull constant 180s though
>>720026359Gotham in kight was fine, but it suffered form the same kind of empty feeling other big open world games have. asylum has a much smaller map but it was way denser and felt more alive because of it. the gameplay really shines in tight spaces and you can tell the devs knew it because any time you had to actually do something in knight it would switch to those smaller arenas. i think a map the size of city with way more density and one that isn't empty like knight would be best. Gotham works because its just a theme, nobody gives a shit about the layout, not like how spiderman needs to be in a city that resembles new york
>>720021401>It's okay, if I run into bats 'll just tell him immediately without any strugg- ACK!>TELL ME WHAT YOU KNOW!>IT'S THERE! THAT'S ALL I KNOW! I SWEAR!>good choice>*WHACK*The house always wins.
>>720033703I wonder how many people Batman has accidentally killed by punching them in the head.
give cat milkers
What I don't get is why the goons always act so eager and cocky and keep up the "it's the bat, kick his fucking ass" attitude in a brawl even when Bat is just flying all over the place knocking people out and breaking limbs but in stealth sections they start getting scared real quick
>>720034059they're in the heat of the moment fired up and fighting in the brawl and can see the guy to try to punch himwhen it's stealth, they're just getting picked off one by one and don't even see the Bat doing it
>>720005687I want a game based on the comics where batman dies/disappears and nightwing becomes Batman and Damian his Robin.
>>720033824You joke, but at this point people are so far removed from reality they think you can't kill someone punching them arbitrarily hard unless you flip a conscious switch which lets you do so
I unironically think a live-service/episodic/whatever game with Batman would work, as you could have supervillain of the week type events, batcave customization, management minigame with brucecorp, regular criminal events for grinding, and all sorts of shit happening in gotham like gacha games or I guess GTA Online do it?WB really really wants their live service slop game, but somehow instead of doing it the way it would work they tried with a SUICIDE SQUAD LOOTER SHOOTERI swear WB is the most incompetent IP holder on Earth
>>720022502>joker with norwood 5grim
>>720017394>If you had to work for one, who's the ideal villain to work for?Depends on the iteration of Batman. Like for example, Penguin, sometimes he's the most "reasonable" of Batman villains and a guy who you can mostly work for normally. In others, he's a schizo who'll torture you until you commit suicide because he heard you snicker while talking to someone else and instantly assumed it was about him.
>>720035562>I swear WB is the most incompetent IP holder on EarthYep, they're even worse than Disney. They're managing to speedrun bankruptcy while holding many of the best IPs on Earth.
>>720035342I blame movies and media in general. And all the fake fights kids watch on tiktok and instagram, nothing more than pack versus one humiliation rituals.
>>720025770Fuck I read it in his voice
>>720005687Arkham series still has a solid fanbase. Just make a new one that isn't 50% tank battles and have actual boss fights. Story isn't an issue since you could just set it after AS.
>>720012118Isn't that what the Lego Batmans are for?
>>720017274Anthill bros we're running this board.
>>720005687Adam West 60s Batman game>>720006431How's "mook" work for you?
I am sad how unfun all the villains were in these games>JonklerOnly one real gadget he can reuse. The others are single use or just a function batman has without a gadet but worse>CatwomanJanky ass movement, supposed to be fast but has BY FAR the slowest takedowns in the series, lackluster gadgets again>HarleySo lacking in actual abilities one of her tasks is to just cartwheel 3 times. No stealth take downs (except over ledge, which is both still stealth and completely rboken). Enemies just become immune to her main gadget if you use it a few times. Can inexplicably jump 50 foot in the air for no apparent reason; didn't even try to give a fitting movement tool Even batwoman was better and she's just batman - a few tools
>>720023909Based
I was obsessed with batman as a kid but only played some of the pretty shitty games at the time and watched the tim burton movies.I was planning on watching some of the 60s batman but what animated show should I add on top of that?
>>720005687Batman Beyond, but as a prestige hand drawn 2D Metroidvania with RPG elements. Cyberpunk SOTN, basically. Also, Old Bruce Wayne would basically be Adam from Metroid Dread/Fusion.
>>720042646Sounds neat but it would be dog shit somehow.
>>720042401Something keeping you from watching BTAS?
>>720043338No I just never watched any of the animated shows so I know almost nothing about them.
>>720043413Go ahead and watch BTAS, then. It's pretty good.
>>720006431Yeah
why are faggorts so obsessed with batman beyond? was terry your gay crush? modern batman is already 'futuristic' compared to the 90s, and they can just keep rebooting batman in the modern day, making modern batman more and more futuristic. there's no need for a next get future batman.
>frogposter>retardedIt's okay buddy. We know.
>>720043413Watch this toohttps://youtu.be/kjFx8qqa8_8
>>720042646Old Bruce being Batdaddy and providing all the tech would also make the Other M idea of abilities being already installed but just locked until he gets permission actually make sense
>>720022793>>720024109Looks cool, but where can I read them online?
>>720044293Or you could start with Terry seeking his father's killer and unlock more abilities as he becomes a better Batman. I.e. start by discovering Batarangs, the wings are a double jump, the jet boots are like Space Jump, the cloaking device works like the one in Metroid Dread, etc.
>>720044565https://readcomiconline.li/
>>720005687>What would your dream batman game be after Arkham Knight?A greater emphasis on mysteries and detective work instead of freeflow combat and boss fights. A greater challenge to the foundation of Batman's moral beliefs over not killing criminals, and whether or not a supercriminal ever can or will be redeemed.I doubt we'll see it.
>>720008519This, just rewrite it so that Bruce went into hiding after Knight and did stuff from the shadows until he got too old. (Finance wise he just had many investments and bank accounts under false names etc)Then Terry stumbles onto the Batcave or something and Bruce makes him the new Batman.Sigh, the Arkham Knight ending really made it difficult to adapt the Batman Beyond story.
>>720043960I never watched it but from the few snippets I saw online I thought the way the new generation of villains was written alongside the geriatric characters was pretty cool. Kinda like how Ace Attorney is now post apollo justice
>>720043960I thought it was shit before I actually watched it. It's a lot better than it makes itself look at a glance. Soulful even.
>>720042646I wish we could get a game that looks authentically Bruce Timm.
>>720005687Just let it stay dead forever.Even the new upcoming lego arkham game that looks really promising is already trying to push a woke kike narrative. Do I have to mention the games that came afters Knight like Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad?It is literally impossible for a good non-comprised batman game to be released in the current era.
>>720043960I'm not one of those but the suit's pretty cool + him beating up the joker by fighting dirty was memorable enough for me.I should rewatch it someday though to see if the show actually holds up today.
>>720048749>I thought it was shit before I actually watched it
It's been so long since Arkham Knight they could just make another by the numbers Arkham game with some incremental upgrades and I'd gobble it the fuck up.
>>720017394In canon Bane takes care of his henchmen well. Riddler too.
>>720014160>Just do a game where the bat multiverse gets bat fracturedSomeone should fracture your ass for even suggesting that holy shit.
HAHA GOONING GOONER GOON JACKING OFF LMAO SO FUCKING FUNNY
>>720050115>>720017394Kinda makes me wonder if among the giant catalogue of villains, they thought of one who abides to the same retarded no-kill rule Batman has, and avoids as much as possible putting his goons in danger
>>720017394I'm not much of a batbuff but surely there must exist some hot women baddies to simp and work for.
>>720005687Wayne Enterprises business management game.>Change funding and projects based on criminal and hero activity.>Employ former goons to unlock tech and info based on thier former employer(s)>Provide disaster clean up and resue services
If you're over the age of 16 and still into capeshit you are possibly a tasteless retard.
>>720028423We're keepin it
>>720050341Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn (solo), and maybe R'as Al Guls' daughter.
>>720050484I'd rather have fun than taste.
>>720050484Says the frogposter....?
We need a Thomas Wayne game in the style of Max Payne. That would be so fucking sick.
>>720050571Ivy doesn't have henchmen, just thugs and cops she's drugged on a temporary basisTalia has no need for henchmen because she's got the entire League of AssassinsHarley actually had her own thugs after Joker died
>>720050571>>720051064Alright thanks, batbros. I'll goon for Harley.
>>720051064Then I guess we just gotta go with some Wonder Woman villians since Batman usually deals with them more than anyone else.
>>720050031Maybe going smaller instead of bigger is the way. Maybe even return to the asylum.
