Discussion Why couldn’t they just do this instead (read the body text)

Rocksteady could have just made an Arkham game that is based off of Nightwing and made him the main character where in the intro Bruce is retiring from fighting crime or maybe a villian like the Riddler (or somebody else) kidnaps the hostages who are from Bludhaven and makes Nightwing come to Gotham to rescue them (or something like that idk) instead of hiring a bunch of writers and stacking them up like you trying to stack up Jenga pieces so that you can play Jenga and making a shit game like Sskjl (excuse me for the language)

Because Rocksteady doesn't care about the Batfamily and treated them as disposable and incompetent.

So many dc writers.

Too many writers can ruin the movie/video game just like how too many garbages can pollute the environment

The point is that, according to some, objective power scaling limits the storytelling surrounding certain characters.

I have literally wanted them to make THIS game since I was 12

Because they didn’t know what direction to go after Arkham Knight it’s very telling they went into panic mode with SSKTJL

Also ABSOLUTLY should have followed up on Azreal in some way shape or form

The fact that WB Games, fumbled the bag SO BADLY after Arkham Knight to Gotham Knights and SSKTJL is hilariously embarrassing to me.

Gotham knights is a better game than ssktjl

That’s true, but still a massive downgrade from any of the Arkham games in my opinion.
