It sounds like a new one Batman: Arkham Game may be in the works at Rocksteady Studios, but as exciting as it may be, it’s incredibly unlikely that the game will be the one I personally want. The Batman: Arkham Iconic for a reason, the series elevates the superhero genre with engaging storytelling, fluid combat, and a richly atmospheric take on Gotham City.
