'Expanding on that idea, why not introduce Rachel Dawes?'

Because this is based on the comic book universe, you tit.

What the writer of this article clearly doesn't understand is that Batman's 'Human-side' is meant to be as clear as Hitler's 'kind-side'. Batman is and always will be the blandest mother*bleep*er to have existed and whilst he does have a human side he very rarely shows it. It's the villains, and his relationship with them, that make Batman awesome. Expand on them, because if you try to delve into his Human-side you'd need to murder at least one Robin again, an act which I can't see Paul Dini allowing for the game.

And no, an open world Gotham sandbox wouldn't be good for a Batman game. 'Imagine taking a break from the main story to save a helpless citizen from a group of muggers? Or helping the Gotham Police Department solve some cases when you’re not invested in finishing the main story?' Imagine Joker getting pissed off that you're ignoring him and blowing up children with laughing dynamite, because that's what would actually happen.

I also like the way you say near the start 'You may have noticed that I didn’t say, “this is what I want in Arkham Asylum 2”, mainly because the title hasn’t yet been revealed.' yet later you just stop with your pedantic shit and say 'As you can see I’m basing a lot of my ideas on the idea that Arkham Asylum 2 (or whatever it ends up being named) will be in Gotham.'

'The ideal multiplayer, for me, would be some sort of cooperative play where you and a friend assume the rolls of Batman and Robin (I believe in Arkham Asylum Batgirl was in a wheelchair, but I could be wrong).' Apply face to palm and sigh deeply.

Batwoman was crippled by Joker and became Oracle, a computer hacker extraordinaire who provides the justice league and allied forces with information and is many people's contact in various situations. On top of Robin there could still be Nightwing, the various random Gotham-ites (Huntress, that panther thing, hell even Catwoman) and of course the actual Batgirl (not the Batwoman you're thinking of) Cassandra Cain.

'I would love to put my skills to the test by really figuring out what happened and sending my findings to Batgirl and see how I’ve done.'

Her name is ORACLE!!!!!

'The most obvious feature the sequel needs is the ability to drive Batman’s vehicles.' Facepalm x2

Do you know the first thing people will do when they get vehicles? Crash into people. Crush anyone they see and go on a murderous rampage which ends with spines wrapped around lampposts and a mass murder. This would automatically mean game over because, as it has been repeatedly shown in every medium involving Batman, he doesn't kill people. Giving players the ability to crush mother*bleep*ers like wounded puppies would completely balls that up all the way.

You're clearly just another jumped up gamer thinking you're onto million dollar ideas when really your ideas will just make the game crap. Another sandbox game with either poorly made vehicle capabilities or poorly made everything else: fantastic

I know I'm picking this article apart way too much, but as an actual Batman fan it pisses me off that people can actually think they know anything about what's best for the game. I know. It shouldn't. But it does. If you're not at least familiar with the comics, which you clearly aren't, don't try and even think you know what's good for a game based on them, especially if you're just going to re-hash bullshit from other games that have no place there. 'Hey, why not just include a *bleep*ing Portal gun?'. They clearly know more than you, so let them make the game and pray to god they don't take any of your suggestions because if they did it would be a worse game for it.

Oh, and RE5 wasn't that bad. Get over it.
