Batman: Arkham Knight - 10 Big Story Moments Fans Will Debate For Years

4. Bruce Can't Be With Selina? Since When?

This ties into Knight's weak finale, but for many Bat-fans this has been the biggest transgression against the mythos that Rocksteady have committed. The problem with Bruce's insistence on Selina staying away from him is that it ruins the development the character has seen with City, and further kills any sense of happiness the character could have achieved in his final hours as Gotham's protector. Despite lacking any chemistry or development in Arkham City, we are led to believe that Wayne was really smitten with Talia all along, with the 'one night in Metropolis' line from Asylum's first sequel supposedly being enough to cement a romantic connection between the pair. The ability to 'mourn' Bruce's former flame in Knight was sadly lacking in any emotional weight as a result, but clearly indicates where Rocksteady believe his desires were and will always be. Throughout we can clearly see the chemistry between the Bat and the Cat - it's quite unmistakable and their flirtatious dialogue is extremely well handled for a title that gave so many naff lines to begin with. This makes that final scene upon Riddler's completion even more unbearable, as Bruce decides that being happy can't be on his agenda even when it's made apparent he's nearing his endgame.
