10. The Question: Team Bondi/Rockstar

Okay, I know I'm already off to a bad start here considering that the studio in question technically doesn't exist anymore, but you know, these things happen, and I'm sure Rockstar have enough talent internally to supplant what Team Bondi accomplished with L.A. Noire.

For those who don't know, The Question (Vic Sage) is this sort of philosophical crimefighting journalist who really made a name for himself under Dennis O'Neil and Denys Cowan in the 1980s. It's likely that most will be familiar with wonderfully peculiar conspiracy-laden antics of Jeffrey Combs' character from Justice League: Unlimited, but for today's sake, we're going to opt for the source material here.

Much like Batman, Sage is a detective. And, like The Dark Knight, he's also pretty handy when it comes to fighting hand-to-hand. Both of these elements were represented (some better than others) in L.A. Noire, but what would be really awesome here would be if a mixture of Noire and The Warriors coalesced to create the perfect Question title. Rockstar's oft forgotten adaptation of the seventies cult classic really nailed a decent combat system, so to see that paired with Bondi's interrogation system (albeit a much improved one), could make The Question a must-have Triple-A release.

Despite the fact that this'll literally never happen, it's obvious to me that Rockstar's talents would be best suited to tackling the faceless avenger.

Well, he's not an actual Avenger, but you catch my drift.
