Ideas for sequal

Batman Arkham Sequal idea

My idea of what could/should happen in the next rocksteady batman game; This game should be more focused on mob wars, with characters like two face and penguin taking more of a back seat role to run their organisation. And the new character black mask coming into things with a more frontal approach to running a mob. Also the falconis and moronis will be involved in this all out turf war spreading over Gotham. But all these gang leaders want is to run the city and not to destroy it, it is only when batman looks further into the disagreements that he finds there is a higher authority sending orders or advice and poisoning the minds of the leaders trying to send each other into the ground. This authority you later find out to be scarecrow, who reveals his plan to turn gothams most feared gang leaders against themselves to send the cities inhabitants into a spiralling world of fear and hate. Batman must set out to take down each mob leaders one by one whilst trying to uncover more about Dr. Cranes crazy plan. But who will look after the civilians who helplessly walk the street at night, vulnerable to the aggressive thug life running the street ? Enter Nightwing and Robin. With full access to specific parts of Gotham city instructed to wipe the streets clean of bad guys and keep them safe while batman goes after the big shots. This would mean areas where only robin or only Nightwing could go, but batman could go over all of it. And robin and Nightwing can do side quests but not the main story line. You could be able to switch anytime during the game depending on whether you wanted to search deep into the hearts of gothams most fierce, or just do some good old fashioned crime fighting ( but of course you could do either as the dark night if you wished).
But anyway, back to the main story, batman has to take out each of the gangs and put a stop to scarecrows scheme, whilst also worrying about hush getting Bruce Wayne involved in the mob fighting, and riddler trying to make a game of the whole thing. It's a lot for batman to handle so there will be more weight put on the shoulders of Tim drake and dick Grayson. Azrael and his clan will be ever watchful but not get to involved as they will have a more religious view of letting things run their course. Old characters like gordan and alfred ( and maybe even freeze) will return to lend the bat a hand if he needs it.
But here comes the good part, just when the dark knight gets close enough to scarecrow that he thinks he can end it all comes; The Joker.
Very near the end of the game with not much involvement ( purely because of mark hamills idea of moving away from his joker character), but still a massive shock for batman. He reveals how he managed to live on and he also reveals how he has been playing crane like a puppet the whole time to get what he wanted and how the whole thing was just so funny. A short time later the bat conquers evil again and stops joker and scarecrow. But still leaving the streets with a lot of clearing up to do (playable after game completion). But batman still wonders where Harley has been through this whole charade? But it's is only after the credits role that you are shown Harley in an old warehouse, presumably far from Gotham, singing a sweet lullaby, and then finally turns round to reveal... The baby.

Side mission ideas:

Calendar man:
Saving people from their upcoming birthdays or anniversaries etc.

Ivy & Croc:
Ivy poisoning crocs sewer or croc eating through Ivy's plants and you have to choose which one to help

Riddler:
The usual
--> if it ain't broke, why fix it ?

Zsasz:
some messed up little fantasy or something you have to save people from

Ventriloquist:
With all the replica scar faces joker had made, the ventriloquist gets angry and threatens to kill again if one of the crime fighters don't hunt down and destroy the 'imposters'

Their is a thread already like this. Which some people are taking a charm to. No need for this duplicate thread. Anyways, you posted this exact thing in that paticular thread anyways. So what was the true point of starting up a completley different thread, just to discuss the same thing?

The Calendar Man side mission sounds interesting.

Good ideas here.

That too.

Here's my rough idea:
1. Bruce Wayne is captured by Scarecrow. Bruce gets nightmares about Joker and Talia but eventually manages to escape
2. Meanwhile Hush has taken Bruce Wayne's identity and is leading Wayne Enterprise slowly uncovering Batman's secret
3. The humiliated and defeated Penguin and Two-Face join forces to take over Gotham and take down GCPD, Batman and Harley Quinn. They recruit some other villains such as Black Mask, Bane, Mad Hatter, Mr. Freeze, Zsasz and Firefly.
4. Harley Quinn is increasingly mad and vengeful and decides to take on everyone to show Joker she can do it. Poison Ivy agrees to join her.

5. Real Bruce is an outcast, but Ra's Al Ghul can see through the deception and decides to aid Bruce. With his own agenda of course, questioning Bruce's beliefs using Joker and Talia as leverage. "Without freaks like Joker she would still live"
6. Riddler also notices Hush isn't the real deal and contacts the real Batman. He loves how Batman is under his mercy and requires his intelligence. He hates Batman, but he hates the other villains running amock like uncivilized cannibals even more
7. Scarecrow is surprised by Bruce's willpower and capabilities and starts to investigate
8. Penguin's and Two-Face's gang is starting to cause destruction around Gotham. Robbing banks, destroying police forces etc. They have disagreements too. Harley Quinn's and Poison Ivy's gang is also clashing against them.
9. Real Bruce has entered his secret backup Batcave that even Alfred doesn't know about and strikes back to stop the criminals. Riddler works as his Oracle for now. Ra's assists and points out the flaws of the civilization and explains how they should eliminate everything and rebuild. They take out plenty of the criminals, but things still get worse.

10. Hush decides to try Batman's role by working with Robin and Nightwing to punish the villains. Eventually he encounters the real Batman and fights him. Robin and Nightwing come to help and fight the real Batman. Batman moves on to defeat more of the criminals.
11. Scarecrow finds Hush. Hush explains the situation and shows Scarecrow the Batcave. Scarecrow starts to work on large fear toxin supply to root out and eliminate the criminal gangs and the real Batman.
12. Batman is cleaning more of the city when bits of the fear gas start to appear. Batman sees the city and loved ones devastated, until Ra's intervenes and takes him back to Assassin temple. Ra's explains how irreversible things have gotten and that as gift he can revive Talia if Batman agrees to rebuild Gotham with him.
13. Penguin's and Two-Face's gang has realized Batman's been one step ahead of them and that's because of Riddler leaking information. Riddler has been sending them riddles and messages too. They decide to go after him to silence him for good. Despite Riddler's traps causing some casaulties they corner him and kill him. Next goal is to eliminate Harley Quinn and then finally take down Bruce Wayne and Batman.
14. Batman stops some criminals and goes to track down Riddler and finds him along with some final riddles. He then to save Harley.
16. Batman is heading towards Wayne Enterprise when the fear toxin density is getting worse and worse. Batman starts to hallucinate and collapses. He sees Joker and a court of villains judging him for failing the city. A huge Scarebeast is crumbling the city and Batman struggles to fight him. Azrael arrives to help and they beat the nightmare. Wounded Batman continues, enters Wayne Enterprise and is making his way through the manned skyscraper.

17. Penguin and Two-Face infiltrate Wayne Enterprise and make their way to Hush. News helicopters are showing live feed of their victory. Surprisingly Bruce fights back with Batman's gadgets. Eventually the criminals manage to grab Bruce and execute him and throw him out of the window. Robin and Nightwing arrive too late. Penguin and thugs move on to fight with them.
18. Two-Face is stayind behind having a speech, when he sees Batman crashing through the window. They fight and Two-Face is defeated. He moves to help Robin and Nightwing.
19. Robin and Nightwing are stunned and Batman explains the situation. He also realizes that Bruce Wayne can be no more.
20. Fear toxin situation is still getting worse and Batman struggles towards Wayne Manor. There he finds Scarecrow but also Ra's who has used Scarecrow to get at Batman. Azrael comes to aid and the villains are defeated.
