2015's Batman Arkham Knight is arguably the ultimate Batman game, and certainly among the greatest comic book games ever made. It boasts an open-world Gotham City that still looks good today, you come up against most of the franchise's stellar rogues' gallery - even an undead Joker - and it features the perfect evolution of developer Rocksteady's influential combat system. So what happened to Batman Arkham Knight 2?
Rocksteady has since moved on to Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, with Batman Arkham Origins developer Warner Bros Montreal working on Gotham Knights. Granted, they're not in the same universe, but both games are seemingly Batman-less.
It wasn't supposed to be this way, however. While Batman Arkham Knight apparently concludes with Bruce Wayne's death, the true ending offers a flash forward to a potential future-set sequel. In this new world, Commissioner Gordon is mayor, Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon are married and have retired from fighting crime, and an almost demonic Dark Knight has appeared on the scene.
