2. The Lazarus Pit
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=yOwykTz3y0w#t=617 In Arkham City, Ra's al Ghul and his Lazarus Pit played a pretty prominent role in the main story arc. Naturally, The Joker attempted to dunk himself in the Lazarus Pit, but Batman stops him and accidentally causes Clayface to fall into the Lazarus Pit instead (obviously leading to speculation that we shall see Clayface's return as well in Arkham Knight). The Lazarus Pit could actually be quite useful for the re-emergence of The Joker in Arkham Knight as it has been known, in some instances, to revive the dead! A little known fact is that Batman has one of the Lazarus Pits in his Batcave, which he created after discovering that the pits are very important in contributing to Earth's stability. The scenario could go something like this ... Batman gets called away to deal with a big bad far away from the confines of the Batcave. Hush, who has discovered that his nemesis Bruce Wayne is actually Batman, reveals the secret location of the Batcave to Harley Quinn who launches a full-scale assault on Wayne Manor and the Batcave, bringing along the corpse of The Joker to dip into Batman's custom Lazarus Pit. What emerges is a rejuvenated, younger-looking, and stronger Joker ... although he's temporarily made sane, which was a side affect he encountered when he was actually dipped in a Lazarus Pit in the comics. Or, you could just make him even more insane thanks to the exposure to the pit, whichever one best suits the story! If Harley's going to be made playable, this would be a tremendous opportunity to include another side mission for her, allowing her to wreak damage on her environment and maybe take down police officers dispatched to Wayne Manor or have her kidnap Alfred in the process. Just the thought of possible scene where The Joker rises from the mystical chemicals of the Lazarus Pit is enough to give us goosebumps!
