Batman: Arkham Insurgency - 9 Things It Must Learn From City

9. Don't Sideline Other Villains For The Joker

A mistake that all Arkham games have made so far, sidelining or undermining villains that are supposed to be major threats by constantly returning to the Joker only limits the creative freedom that comes with telling Batman stories.

Because although City told one of the best Joker stories in the Caped Crusader's history, it also attempted to centre the main thread on others like Hugo Strange and Two Face - the latter ending up being particularly shortchanged as a result.

If City had always been sold as a pure Joker story then it would have been fine, but up until its release the game was positioning itself as a Batman title that was going to dig deep into the superhero's rogues gallery, making it all the more disappointing when the main threat turned out to be the Clown Prince of Crime the whole time.
