Everyone already knows that it's Batman's/Talia's love child with accelerated aging from cloning technology.

Assuming it actually is a new character, the only person I can think of is Quincy Sharp. And if it really was Quincy Sharp, I can't imagine why he needed Batman to save him. Also, he was shown in the church with Vicki Vale at the end of the game, so I doubt that. The only other original characters I can remember are Penelope Young and Frank Boles, but both of them are dead. That and I doubt Young really would be Arkham Knight material seeing as she didn't want to cooperate with criminals. So, unless it's Warden Joseph or something, I have no idea.

I'd assume it was a Damian Wayne-alike, leading the Guild out of a combo of brainwashing and revenge- except the whole "I was spying on you during AC" thing puts the kibosh to that. I still think the Guild is the most likely explanation for all his gear, though. They're taking a lot of ideas from the third movie.

Nothing is off the table... ImpAtom posted:Harley Quinn's Revenge confirmed that she wasn't actually pregnant, it was a false positive, and AK is set only a short time after AC. redbackground posted:Well, there was no kid, so prrrrrrrobably not. ...well gently caress. I never played Harley Quinn's Revenge.  I really don't know who else it would be if he turns out to be an already established character in disguise. Well I mean there's lots of people you could have it be, but I'm trying to think of possibilities that wouldn't be really dumb or just pointless. The way I see it now, there's basically 3 options: 1) Arkham Knight is not a previously introduced character, he's just some guy with a hate-on for Batman.  2) Arkham Knight is a comics character and Rocksteady are lying about him being new. This would probably result in something stupid, nonsensical and unsatisfying (Oh, it's Jason Todd, great) or something completely loving batshit (It's Thomas Wayne!) 3) Arkham Knight is a newly created character with a personal connection to or beef with Bruce Wayne, so hi, join the line next to Hush, Black Mask, and Thomas Wayne Jr. None of these are great.

It seems like it would be weird to create a masked new character to be the enemy of Batman in your epic final game, so I feel like Arkham Knight has to be an existing character, even if s/he is a "reimagined" one. In terms of who has been introduced, the most likely candidates are Hush (imitating Bruce with the batsuit + uses a gun), Jason Todd (uses a gun and is linked to Batman, but only mentioned previously in a single line by the Joker), Ra's Al'Ghul (probably wouldn't use a gun as a permanent weapon, but has the martial arts skills to go up against Batman/likes to kill), or Talia.

For what is worth, the Arkham Knight is written eerily reminicent of Jason Todd on the prequel comics.

I used to entertain the idea that it might be an "Insane from Lazarus Pits" Talia.

Go full Morrison for the last outing, make it a defective Batman robot Bruce Wayne built to replace himself if he died but then had erased from his memory by one of his mind altering encounters (or even more mind fuckery, a robot built by his Zur En Arrh backup personality to replace the joker as an archvillain if HE ever died because he's reasoned a Batman without Joker to distract him would be a more dangerous thing). But it's probably a drugged up Jason Todd in a tech based suit you'll take out in the second act.

If its somebody from a previous Arkham game, its Aaron Cash. Jason Todd's probably the better money though.

They didn't say he was somebody from a previous Arkham game - they said he was present somewhere in Arkham City and spying on you. That doesn't mean Batman (or the player) saw him at any point or even that we're going to be able to go "Oh that guy!" when we find out who he is. It's just meant to establish that he's not a dude who went bananas a week before Arkham Knight takes place and decided he was going to take Batman out. He's been around and preparing for whatever he's doing.Narcissus1916 posted:If its somebody from a previous Arkham game, its Aaron Cash. Aaron Cash has zero motivation whatsoever to be the Arkham Knight, a guy who is working for Scarecrow and trying to kill Batman. Cash and Batman are bros. Cash is a cool dude. As for Jason, I don't know. There's not much excuse for him to be working with Scarecrow but the Arkham Knight does seem to have a lot in common with Red Hood and nobody's ever accused Jason of being reasonable. Or stable. Personally, my money's on one of the Azraels, but if it does turn out to be Jason Todd then I guess I won't be too surprised.

I think Hush makes the most sense to me and his side quest was left wide open for something like this in City. But then again who are we kidding... its going to be the Joker like always.

Arkham Knight sorta sounds like Troy Baker. So that's probably a hint as to who he really is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_vqzYOvgvc

Wikipedia posted:The history of Bat-Cow is that he was a cow that got sent to the slaughterhouse, and was found by Robin during an investigation in the slaughterhouse. Robin wanted to keep the cow, and named it Bat-Cow. Batman decided that they would keep it. During a later investigation of the cow, Batman said that the cow had mind controlling radiation inside Bat-Cow. Batman wanted rid of the cow, but Robin would not allow him to hurt the cow.

You mean Detective Chimp. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detective_Chimp He's actually a pretty fun character. Hardly used except in the farthest and most obscure reaches of the DC Universe.
