4. Genetic Mutation
We all know that "mutants" are Marvel's thing, but we must remember that Joker's death was a direct result of his exposure to the Titan Formula in Arkham Asylum. We also can't forget that Joker's entire appearance - and arguably his entire genetic make-up - weas altered thanks to a vat of deadly chemicals. What if the Titan Formula didn't actually kill The Joker, despite him truly believing he was actually dying? Again, stranger things have happened, but imagine Arkham Knight if The Joker returned from the dead and was kept hidden by the doting Harley Quinn. In the trailer, we see Harley working alongside The Penguin and Two-Face, two villains who never had the greatest working partnerships with The Clown Prince of Crime. It seems that Joker's passing has caused an alliance of some of Batman's more powerful enemies, but what if it was all a ruse to get them to do the grunt work in Gotham, making it easy for a returning Joker to swoop in and take over thanks to Harley being his "inside-woman"? What if Joker's death and rebirth resulted in him being physically stronger and thus more difficult for Batman to vanquish in one-on-one combat thanks to the mixture of chemicals in his blood? Instead of a Bane-sized Joker Titan or puny stick-thin Joker, what if we saw an evenly-muscled Joker that was around the same size as his do-gooder equivalent? It would make for a more-even match-up and allow for a revamped Joker look befitting high-definition next-gen gaming! After all, it's not like we haven't seen a bigger version of Joker before ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0mHUlxWq7g
