Batman: Arkham VR - 10 Big Things We Already Know

9. Nightwing Is Dead... Supposedly

Batman Arkham VR
Rocksteady

You know how comics almost always open up with a provocative image/twist to sell a new story arc? And how that almost always provokes hysteric reaction? (*cough* Captain America *cough*) Well, that looks to be the case with Arkham VR, unless Rocksteady are just doing away with continuity altogether.

Nightwing really can't die. If the game is set before Knight (and most likely will be, given the finale's ending) then Dick Grayson literally cannot be killed off. Now, if the title is set after Knight then there is a possibility that the former Robin really has been murdered.

Then again, Rocksteady could just pull a Christopher Nolan on us and have Batman himself take off some VR goggles to reveal that this was all just an elaborate training scenario. I hope not, but again, it's very difficult to discern when this is all actually set set.
