How would an AK sequel work? Only way I can think of is Batman Beyond with Terry.

I'm actually surprised the Arkham games never added a taunt button that enraged enemies.The Damian game needs a dedicated button that lets you go 'tt'.
Both those games sound like they could be good, but would need an expert hand developing them and a strong creative vision. Compelling co op and create your own character is hard to do. Damien Wayne Batman doesn't differentiate itself nearly as well as Beyond.
But this is WB Montreal, who's one major game sucked. Not hopeful.

he's a dickhead and getting a massive push from DC. i don't think he's ever been batman before this. he's robin and the leader of teen titans.

Because he's literally the human equivalent of Scrappy Doo.

This was never a thing. They're billing it as a thing for the new comic coming out, but even then I bet its a case where nobody sees him as a leader.
Good on you for not posting assets. If only one of these projects was a Superman game. Sigh, maybe someday.

I like Damian so all for this. Less interested in the Suicide Squad game.

Ain't no Superman bih. This is WB: Wholly Batman.
The Suicide Squad details sound very interesting but the details are too vague to get a clear picture. Brawler and Borderlands esque both sound awesome for SS though. I hope the avatar thing pertains to the DC characters. I want to pimp out my Deadshot just like I plan to in Injustice 2.
As for the Damian game, if it separates itself enough from the Arkham gameplay, then I might bite. As much I loved the Arkham series, it's become stale for me.

They do
Gaf some people on gaf isnt everyone.
They push dick, jayson, and damien for a reason. People like them.
Its not Bruce and that seals it for these people.

I don't hate Damian. Or rather I don't hate comic Damian. The push for Damian outside of that has been awful though. It's like they threw away all his character development and relationships and kept him way too similar to his first appearance with all that real son and oh so amazing skills nonsense.

Dame's a g. I don gaf what peeple say.
Suicidelands sounds good too, if the character creater is colorful supervillain garb instead a iconic baseball caps and thuggish wifebeaters

SS being a TPS is cool to me. Though I guess that's why we're playing deathstroke instead of deadshot. Or else they'd have tk explain why he is missing all the time.

my b. didn't read that.
yeah i was referencing the new book. it's most likely him being a dickhead thinking he's the leader.
i actually really like him. i can't believe it's been ten years though. jeez.

I love Damien, so no problem with that.
I still couldn't give two shits about Suicide Squad and that's what I wish DC would stop pushing.

I see, there is a huge Damian/Damien problem.
Damien Wayne Batman game? Sure, why not. Montreal working makes me cautious though. I didn't think Arkham Origins wasn't bad, but it didn't do anything new with the series. The only thing they improved on were the bossbattles those are more enjoyable than Asylum and City. Plus those bugs and imperfections...

It not being an Arkham ____ game is the best news I've heard so far.
Damian can be an interesting character, but that's next to Dick Grayson.
I don't expected a 'shaved head' Dick Grayson is going to be the golly character we know. Heck, with that much of a departure from a mullet, I wouldn't be surprised if he's a villain.
Battle for the Cowl would have been great. Dick-Bats, things going to shit, Damian introduced.

AK spoilers
Sequel could be about Azrael, Nightwing, Jason and maybe Tim all becoming their own version of Batman and fighting to take up the mantle. Huge Gotham City and make it GTA V style where we can switch between those 4.

Battle for the Cowl wasnt a strong comic but it'd make a fantastic video game.
I don't understand the notion that mainstream audiences not knowing who Damian is is a problem. They didn't know who Nathan Drake was before Uncharted, or Kratos before God of War. The game will be called Batman, it's not going to flop because people "don't know who Damian is." If someone does enough research to see that it's a different Batman to begin with, they'll know who he is.

Agree.
As for Damian, I love him. Hopefully Titus, Alfred and Batcow appear in the game. (And Goliath too, why not?)
This. All of this.
Agreed. I dislike first person a lot.
Suicide Squad sounding underwhelming like the movie.
The Damian game sounds good though.
Thanks for the info dump!
