Falcone, Black Mask, Penguin and several other characters are all heavily based on organized crime, and all practice it. To see them in this, fighting it out or maybe combining forces against Batman, would be really cool. The next thing is that I don't want this to be just a Batman game. I think that it would be awesome to have several people playable in the game. Nightwing, Robin, Batman, and maybe Batgirl would be awesome. Red Hood would also be playable in my ideal Arkham game, but not until after the story because he is heavily intertwined. I will get to that later though. All of their stories would be half together, half apart. All of them are deserving of their character to be flushed out, as each have developed such depth over the years that they have existed. Maybe have a Robin part where he is trying to prove to himself and everyone else that he isn't just Batman's sidekick, and actually his own crime fighter. Then we have Nightwing, he has a threat of maybe Deathstroke. Deathstroke is pretty prominent in Nightwing's world, and him being in it would really be cool as well as make for an interesting story with him. After hearing about what had happened with Batman and the Joker, he would want to come in and help clean up, fearing Bruce not having an ability to protect his city with the heavy trauma he was having. With Batman fighting against it, he eventually gives in and Nightwing helps out. With everything that has happened, it takes more than Batman to try and fix it. I don't know if batgirl should be in the game as a playable character, but depending on who batgirl is could make her an NPC who could or couldn't be interracial to the plot, personally I don't care. A lot of the game would deal with how Batman is trying to get over the Joker's death, and all of the plots with the other characters. While the story would still be about batman, each character would get a good amount of time so that they can be fleshed out and have an interesting story. While the story could have the problem with Hush, he isn't doing anything with it. Batman doesn't understand, especially after the whole fiasco in City, why Hush hasn't started to use his new "identity" to attack Bruce Wayne. Then little random instances are occurring around the city, dealing with smaller things. With each instance, there is a little hint going back to his Joker problems in city, he is also being reminded of his failures, and how he wasn't able to save Jason, and how he wasn't able to save many of the people, like Talia. While this is going on, Bruce Wayne (actually hush in disguise) goes into a board meeting and kills a large group of prominent people in the Gotham Elite, and then fakes his death. In this time that he fakes his death, he remakes his face back into his original, Tommy Elliot face, or takes up a new Identity. With this, Batman cannot only go back to his normal life, or even out of his costume, but he has to make sure his secret doesn't get out to the city. He has to rework his will to make sure he gives the mansion to Dick and Tim, and he has to stay in the caves. With all the News Reporters flooding the Mansion, he couldn't go topside, and had to stay in the cave, but still be batman, as people will make a correlation of the death of Bruce Wayne, and the disappearance. With all of this, he goes around trying to find out what happened. Is Elliot really dead? Was there anyone else involved? He gets hints and hints, but doesn't get a definite answer. I can't really think of anything else storywise, I just got this off of the top of my head so i doubt this would be used. I just thought it would be interesting to create a story with some of the points they had. I now just have stuff about the gameplay. First, make every playable character playable in the open world. With all of the amazing open world elements in this game, they can really expand it by making each character that is playable at all playable in the game world. This is something many people want, and it would make the gameplay just a lot of fun. Next, I think that there should be less actual gadgets that he gets in the game, but more of he decides to integrate gadgets. Like for example, he uses an explosive gel batarang or an electric batclaw. While the explosive gel batarang will take out a lot of them, when it is used batarangs are out of the question until after the fight. Same with the Electric batclaw. These things, while powerful, have limited uses, and use up 2 gadgets instead of one. They can nerf them in any way possible, these are just suggestions. Next, we should expand the open world to all of gotham, or most of it. This should include more open world elements like the use of the ACTUAL batcave, with interactivity and other things. For example, you can have the map, but you have to go there to examine evidence and solve mysteries, but in just the open world, it can provide information on the actual places and people in the city, where as out in the open you only have the option to learn about characters in the story. They should also include one vehicle. I believe this vehicle should be the batwing. This way you don't have the problem of running over civilians or people, it is a faster way around the much larger city than just gliding and grapple boosting, and if you approach a building, right before you crash it the batwing ejects you and goes autopilot back to the cave. I think this would just make for better open world elements, which is one thing that I would love in the game. As for stealth and combat, they probably have better ideas than I do on that, so they should just do what they do. Do remember that I am not opposed to them making different ideas, or having characters I didn't mention in this post. I hope they do, as they may catch me by surprise and make me love the game more than I thought I could.
