They don't have a single frame of gameplay to show and this is coming out in October? :-\ Goddamn hate CGI trailers.

 

Seriously, you're supposed to release a teaser and then do a countdown. WHAT IS THIS? AMATEUR HOUR?!

 

That said, kinda hoping they give Robin and Nightwing an increased role in this, if it is supposed to be 'the big finale'.

Well I take back what I said about it being too early for anything but CGI. In this case this just allows them to hype it up. Tease it a bit as they work towards October and reveal things slowly. edit: Is that trailer really CGI? If so... it's not very good compared to current-gen games. I can imagine in-game looking a lot like that.

The best serious theory I've seen so far is that it's Jason Todd. Would certainly fit with the guns and red on the armor.

 

I'd much rather a twist like that than a completely new character, to be honest. And they better follow-up on that Hush thing from Arkham City!

 

Twist? That seems incredibly obvious. That's the exact same marketing they used for the red hood to begin with.

Thing is, what would be the point in a completely new character? Especially if they're going to be the focus (supposedly).

 

Maybe it's approaching it from too typical a mindset, but if this is the final instalment and it all ties into the Arkham stuff, I'd expect them to use something to tie it all together. So either the Arkham Knight is supposed to be something to do with Amadeus Arkham - which links to Quincy Sharp who was mind-warped by Strange into thinking he was the reincarnation, and the 'Demon's Head' who was behind it all - or is a hallucination brought on by The Scarecrow's toxin.

 

And then, of course, it could be a misdirect in that by 'new' they mean 'this existing character has never had this particular identity before' and so could be anyone.

That was my reasoning as well. It would be kinda weird for the main villain of the big end to the trilogy to be a completely original character considering the amount of lore and characters they can draw from. Plus there's still a few dangling story threads they need to resolve, like Scarecrow and Hush.

 

The whole reason Jason became Red Hood was because of Joker, though. That wouldn't work here.

Who said anything about Red Hood specifically? Are there any hints in Asylum or City as to whether Under The Hood has already happened in the series' timeline? Been a while so I really don't remember all the little bios and stuff.

Hooooly shit!

 

 

I was kinda meh on this after Arkham Origins, it just kinda burned me out on the series and I wasn't all that eager to get another "more of the same" sequel. But goddamn, that was a fucking great trailer. Can't wait to see some proper gameplay footage. I'm assuming we'll get some at E3 considering it's ~6 months away.
