Batman: Arkham Knight - 12 Superhero Franchises Rocksteady Must Tackle Next
12. Batman Beyond
One of the safest choices that Rocksteady could go with would be to continue their Batman chronicles into the world of Neo Gotham retelling the story of Terry McGinnis as the self-titled Batman of the Future. The Gotham of the future is vastly different to the one that many have become accustomed to in the days where Bruce Wayne donned the cape and cowl of Batman, but it is no less impressive. Taking inspiration from Ridley Scotts Blade Runner, the neo noir-esque visuals of the city would look truly remarkable on current gen systems and would help greatly with differentiating the title from the usual crop of releases that make their way to consoles each year. Though itd be a move to divide a section of Bat-Fans who were never really fond of Terrys escapades as the future Batman, this world more than any holds a vast amount of potential to be exploited. It combines the familiarity of the previous Batman releases already under Rocksteadys belt, whilst also rejuvenating and innovating both gameplay and narrative having players don a more futuristic and lightweight Batsuit with a younger, more inexperienced protagonist at the helm. Of all the various iterations of Batman to have graced the pages of a comic book this one is the most deserving of an adaptation.
