10 Reasons Rocksteady's Next Arkham Game Should Be Batwoman
4. She'd Bring Arkham Back To Basics
One of the biggest criticisms levelled at Arkham Knight was that it placed an emphasis on vehicle combat over the series' traditional tenets of stealth action and hand-to-hand combat. The Batmobile ended up being as much a burden as it was a valuable resource, and it split fans straight down the middle.
Kate Kane, on the other hand, possesses no such issue.
Kate comes from money, but she's not as resourceful as her cousin Bruce. Instead, she comes from a military background, and she's often incorporated her training as a soldier into how she conducts herself as Batwoman, adopting a more regimented approach to crimefighting than the Dark Knight.
Her arsenal is also more limited, with the character depending more so on her skills as an expert fighter and tactician to defeat her enemies. She doesn't drive a bat-tank, she can't depend on her own remote-controlled jet, and one would suspect Detective Mode isn't in her repertoire either.
With that in mind, Rocksteady could produce a more challenging version of their Arkham formula. Keep the open world if you must, but putting players in the shoes of someone without the Waynes' resources would be such an interesting change of pace.
