Without question the most hotly-contested subject surrounding the release of Arkham Knight, Bat-fans around the world are divided as to whether they believe that Gothams deranged Prince of Crime is dead or if he has once again cheated death. He already tricked us once for a huge portion of Arkham City, using Clayface as a decoy to deceive us. It would be pretty lame if Rocksteady used the same ploy to reintroduce Joker into the Arkham Knight, but its certainly a mistake to assume for a certainty that hes dead. If he has indeed met his maker, then expect Joker to still have a profound influence on the games events from beyond the grave. A Batman game influenced in absolutely no way by the Joker would be a dramatically less interesting one, so heres hoping that Rocksteady will confirm that he will indeed be clowning around in Arkham Knight, even if he is in fact down for the count.
