Batman Arkham 2020: Every Leak & Rumour You Need To Know

9. A Fully Playable Batfamily

Aside from the Legacy title, the other detail about the upcoming game from the October leaks was that the whole Batfamily would be playable characters.

Arkham Knight allowed players brief control of Nightwing, Tim Drake's Robin and Catwoman, but these were confined to specific missions (Nightwing only in the Penguin scenes, Robin opposite Harley, and Catwoman opposite The Riddler).

Here, however, the rumour is that some or all of these characters will be playable throughout the game, bringing their own individual skillsets and upgrade trees. This kind of customisable gameplay experience is very much the popular trend at the moment, so this rumour seems a strongly plausible one.

This also plays into a potential narrative thread about Batman's legacy and perhaps the possibility of one of his supporting crew taking up his mantle in the future.
