You guys are making me miss Tim as Robin.
It's probably nostalgia but I feel like my version of DC's golden age corresponds to Tim's tenure as Robin : from the late 80s to Flashpoint. Sure, there was a lot of garbage in the 90s but overall, DC published so much great stuff during that era... Oh boy, I'm getting old.
YAAAS! A Dick and Damian Batman & Robin game would be awesome.
Uh. Maybe in 2006. Have you read anything related to Damian in the past five years? He's had a very profound character development, both under Morrison and the writers after him (especially Tomasi), and is not the murder-happy, amoral brat he started as.

An actual Gotham City with civilians and all that is something that I very much would like to see. Though executed pretty well, a completely deserted Gotham in Arkham Knight was kind of silly.
I'd LOVE a fully-fledged Gotham City.
We both know it won't happen, the best Robin will continue to get ignored,and then eventually they'll dump the character in the same bin Cassandra is in.

He was the best, and the Red Robin comics were awesome, then New 52 rolled around and gone.
Not sure about the Nu52 but pre-Flashpoint I think Jason was actually adopted before Dick, who was a ward for a really long time.

Stop trying to push Damian.
Going to be honest this brought a single manly tear to my eye (again).Damian for life.
Damian is great. Haters be damned.
What have you done Morrison?
He says with the avatar of Porn Stache McJobber, call me when Damian gets a solo run half as good as Red Robin.

I found a leaked character render from the game:
Batman is looking pretty good.
Don't start some shit you ain't prepared for, I will turn this into a feat thread.

The stakes getting bigger each time was the problem. They couldn't have an intimate story to tell in subsequent games.
As far as open worlds go, the Arkham series got better as it went on in that regard. They were unabashedly playgrounds built for the systems available. The problem with that is they couldn't be believably populated (and because of tech/logistics).
A "living, breathing" Gotham could be great, even as just a backdrop mostly.

If that means there is a remote chance at older Cass Cain as Batgirl/Batwoman/Black Bat, i'd be all over it.
Ahahhahhaaaaaaa. Hahhahahahahaha.
You know that won't happen
I don't think I want to play another Batman game that isn't developed by Rocksteady. I've been spoilt by their trilogy and if they're ready to move on, so am I.
Then again, this is Warner Bros we're talking about. They'll do anything to continue fucking up Rocksteady's legacy.
The rumours of a Damian Wayne-led Batman game and a 3rd person shooter Suicide Squad game sound terrible. Do not want on both cases.

He already happen. People need to get used to it and accept it. He isn't going anywhere. Also make room for Jon Kent (Clark and Lois' biological son and the new Superboy.) as well. Especially once they start pairing him with Damian.
I'm well-aware myself, I'm just not convinced WB is. I don't trust them not to sell this as "Oh yeah, this Batman can do some BAD STUFF" because having the option to be a huge asshole is so often a selling point in games, open world in particular.

Sounds a little too much like comicbook fan wish list stuff. They always go with more popular stuff. It could be cool, though.
I doubt Morrison would do it. He killed him off for a reason. He wanted him to stay dead too.

Nah Dick Grayson instead please.
lol at stop trying to make Damian happen. Tomasi and Gleason have made him into an amazing character.
Not enough love for Dick on this forum if you ask me.

Terry McGuinness and Damian Wayne are kinda the same person being the sons of batman so either would be fine.
Chalk me up as another one who would prefer Terry McGinnis.
Edit: But dear god not the version of the Beyond suit that Rocksteady have previously used.
I think the Arkham games would be a good launching point for a connected series of DC game adaptations, mind. Probably why WB bought Rocksteady.

Everyone here should read Detective Comics #700 which shows a Damian Wayne Batman future in between the Beyond time and normal Batman time period. It's actually prettt damn cool since this Batman gives no fucks when fighting crime.
I agree! Go back to somewhere between Asylum and City, and make it really tight and fun. Or, better yet, take some time off with Batman and go use some other characters.
That being said, I think this rumor is absolutely fake. There's mounting evidence that WB Montreal is doing Suicide Squad and Superman, and Rocksteady seemed very insistent they weren't going to do another Batman game. Granted, WB could obviously force Rocksteady to do it, but I don't think they'd do that to one of their flagship teams, especially when they seem to cede a lot of control over to them (like completely excising Origins).

Oh god, why do they feel the need to push Damian so hard? He's good as a side character, but I don't think he can support a story on his own. It should be Dick taking over the mantle, and if not him then Tim.
I know the feeling :/ I've been rereading Tim's Robin series and his Red Robin series and I miss the character so much. My favorite DC character by far. Here's to hoping that he'll start to regain some of his old self in 'Tec come Wednesday.
