Batman: Arkham 2017: 10 Ways To Make The Perfect Damian Wayne Game

2. Give Fans A Totally Different Batsuit

Of all the things a new Batman needs, a new suit has to be the most important. Whether it's a capeless combination of high-tech goodies like Terry's, or a nostalgic callback to the character's early days like Dick Grayson's, the suit makes the man.

Damian is no exception.

Whilst I have to say I'm a fan of the trench-coat vibes of the character's first Bat-appearance, I do think the cape has to stay. Perhaps not in the same style or build of previous Arkham suits, but a cape all the same. As for the symbol, well, that's up to them. I'm actually a big fan of the character's post-convergence modern-classic combo getup, but if Montreal were to opt for a departure from the usual Batman iconography, then I wouldn't complain at all. They're placing their own stamp on the mythos after all, and if we are going to have a new Batman, it only makes sense that he's a recognisable one.

Much like Terry's, we need this suit to offer something different visually. I don't particularly care how they do it, but as long as they reinvigorate the design, I'll be happy.
