I’d like to take a moment at the start of this post to thank the above headline for doing my job today. Mostly to fill this space with words so it looks like there’s actually more substance to this news. For PC gamers though, the cool kids who like it when graphics look better than real life, this news is as good as things get: Batman: Arkham City has been officially confirmed by Warner Interactive for a November 22 release on PC.

Not only is Arkham easily named as one of the best games this year, it’s also one of the best-looking games, much like its Arkham Asylum predecessor was back in 2009. Now fans will be able to mouse and keyboard their way through it to their heart’s content, sick, gamepad-hating miscreants that they are. While you’re here, why not take a moment to gaze at the pretty screenshot up top. The PC game? yeah, that’s gonna look better.

What we want to see in a new Batman video game, and what we don’t

Batman Arkham Knight

WB Games Montreal -- the studio behind prequel game Batman: Arkham Origins -- has been teasing players recently with clues that appear to point to a new Batman video game. It has been nearly five years since the launch of Batman: Arkham Knight, with only Arkham VR to tide fans over. A tweet ordering followers to “Capture the Knight” in September 2019 was followed by another in January 2020 with the same message, and all signs point to another Batman game being in development.

What that being the case, we began wondering: What should go in the next Batman game, and what shouldn’t go in it? Here is what we’re hoping to see and not see in the next Batman game from Warner Bros.
