[RPS] Batman: Arkham City Prequel Set For Silver Age.

Variety are reporting that the next Batman game will be a prequel to Arkham City set in the 1950s “Silver Era” of DC Comics. They report that a “New, highly stylized title is being developed as a prequel that revolves around Batman’s first meeting with the Joker. It’s based on the Silver Age of DC’s comicbooks from the 1950s when the Caped Crusader teamed with other heroes like Superman and founded the Justice League of America.”

Hmm.... I was hoping for the sequel to take us to the streets of Gotham. I don't really fancy the idea of Supes and Green Lantern messing my my Bat universe.

"Based on the silver age" probably means "old cars and modernized dialog." Like Batman: The Animated Series. That's fine.

I'm more concerned that this is going to be another Batman title focused on the Joker. That wouldn't be a problem, but since Mark Hamill probably won't be involved, the idea is just falling a little flat.

you know they could very well get Adam West to portray Batman like he used to do if it's within that era i mean with Arkham city and i think asylum they used the voice actor from the animation Batman to portray in-game. that'd be really neat if they can get Adam West to sign on. ^-^ biggrin.gif

Arkham City is a direct sequel to Arkham Asylum.

So if a Silver Age game is released it will be a prequel to Arkham Asylum.

I think it'd be very interesting for them to incorporate new characters. Their character art/personas are amazing. I would love for them to flesh out some new baddies and allies rather than reruns of joker/ivy/scarecrow
