Batman: Arkham Knight - 12 Superhero Franchises Rocksteady Must Tackle Next

9. The Question

One of DC's acquisitions from Charlton Comics, Steve Ditko's crusader of social justice has evolved a lot since his initial inception, but his status as one of the DC Universe's best and brightest crime fighters has not been lost in all his years of active service, and his mantle was carried on very nobly by GCPD officer Renée Montoya after his untimely passing. Most fans will know of Vic Sage from the 'crackpot conspiracy' interpretation offered by the fondly remembered Justice League: Unlimited, but there is so much more to the character than just that. When revitalised by Dennis O'Neil (who the more acute of Bat-fans will know gave Batman his darkness during the 1970s) The Question made a name for himself fighting corruption in Hub City, becoming one of the finest martial artists in the universe under the pupillage of Richard Dragon along the way. It really should be mandatory reading for anyone who considers themselves a denizen of DC, even if the books are notoriously difficult to track down. A Question game could work if it took heavy inspiration from both L.A. Noire and Arkham's freeflow combat, and would really emphasise detective work moreso than Rocksteady's recent Batman titles have done. Heck, there's even some potential for some crossover too, as Vic has worked with the likes of Huntress, Batman and Green Arrow on multiple occasions. It may not be the obvious choice, but the journalist turned vigilante is just as worthy of the triple-A treatment as any A-Lister is.
