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

1. Bring Back Paul Dini

Although Arkham Knight had a pretty decent story once you got over the terribly written mystery surrounding its title character, it was still a huge step back from the quality of the storytelling found in the previous releases.

Of course, a huge reason as to why the story of Rocksteady's final Batman game paled in comparison to both City and Asylum was that the developers decided to not bring back famed writer Paul Dini for it.

In charge of both the first two titles as well as countless other Batman stories, there's very few writers who know the Caped Crusader as well as Dini, and that deep knowledge and understanding of the character's world is present in every fibre of his writing.

Paul Dini's work on Arkham City gave the world not only one of the best video game Batman storylines ever, but one of the best Batman storylines period. And if WB wants to keep the narratives of its franchise interesting moving forward, then convincing the writer to return could be the best way to go about it.
