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

6. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has an odd connection with Rocksteady studios. On top of their name resembling one of the Turtles' adversaries, in the aftermath of Arkham City's release odd rumours began to swirl that the London developers were in fact hard at work making a Turtles title, instead of what we now know to be was Arkham Knight. Sure it's an odd idea at first glance, but Rocksteady and TMNT could in fact be a marriage made in heaven. In its initial run of comics that featured the heroes in a half shell, the series was actually quite mature - utilising dark subject matter from the comic industry at the time and mocking it in clever and unique ways. Obviously Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo and Raphael have all changed a great deal since their first slew of comics from Eastman and Laird, but they've only gotten better with time. The turtles universe is one of the richest in geek culture and Rocksteady are more than capable of drawing together the best bits to better accommodate their vision of one of the most successful franchises of all time. Assassin's Creed-esque parkour and Arkham style freeflow combat would definitely make TMNT feel right at home on the latest generation of systems. Make it happen Rocksteady!
