With the announcement that Batman: Arkham Knight is set to hit next-gen gaming and PC systems in the later part of 2014, rabid fans of the Rocksteady franchise have been speculating who will turn up for an appearance in - what the company is calling - the final chapter in the Arkham trilogy (the last Batman outing, prequel Arkham Origins, is considered a one-off, stand-alone game). If you have been living under a rock or have recently escaped an Amish upbringing, take a look at the official trailer below. Thanks to the trailer, it is confirmed that we shall see the returns of Two-Face, Harley Quinn, and The Penguin to wreak havoc on Gotham City. In the early part of the trailer, it is also assumed that The Scarecrow is the one threatening to unleash everyone's "greatest fears" unless the citizens of Gotham evacuate the city. While the trailer has everyone talking, along with news that we will get the opportunity to drive the Batmobile and play as Harley Quinn (if we pre-order the game), most fans have been pondering ... What about The Joker? If you recall, in Arkham City, Batman's greatest nemesis died thanks to exposure to the Titan formula from Arkham Asylum. The creators have even stated that The Joker did, in fact, meet his maker in Arkham City. However, everyone knows you can't have Batman without The Joker ... and vice-versa ... and having the third and final installment of the trilogy be unveiled without the presence of The Clown Prince of Crime, who has been the main antagonist of the series since the beginning, feels, forgive the pun, downright criminal. Thankfully, in the DC Universe (and in any comic book universe for that matter), death is not always synonymous with finality. Here, we will be counting down ten killer ways in which to resurrect The Clown Prince of Crime for the epic grand finale of Rocksteady's legendary crime-fighting crusade!
