Batman: Arkham Legacy - 10 Playable Characters It MUST Include
4. Green Arrow
Now is the time to expand and transcend the Arkham Universe. As the Lego Batman games did before it, Rocksteady need to look beyond Gotham.
Introducing Bruce’s long time ally Oliver Queen/Green Arrow, would be a great place to start.
Green Arrow has never been more popular and ubiquitous as he is at this moment, thanks to the CW show starring Stephen Amell and appearances in titles like the Injustice games, and DC Legends to name but a few.
The possibilities presented by including such a character are tantalising to say the least.
Swap the many and varied gadgets and gizmos in Batman’s inventory wheel for arrows with unique payloads - explosive arrows, electrified arrows, boxing glove arrows - and holding Oliver’s reins to take down the scum and villainy of Gotham would be an amazing experience.
In close combat, we have already seen what the Green Arrow can do in the Injustice games and the aforementioned Arrow TV show.
Employing his bow in close combat to both block incoming attacks and to take the fight to his opponent as a melee weapon in its own right, the Arkham combat formula would be adapted to suit Oliver’s brutal fighting style.
Utilising both his trademark bow and the various arrows at his disposal in both combat and traversal, Green Arrow would be an unbelievable addition to the Arkham franchise.
