How an Arkham Asylum Prequel Could Have Set Up Arkham Knight’s Biggest Twist

Rocksteady and WB Games Montreal’s Arkham tetralogy is a wonderful celebration of the Batman mythology, especially in how it represents Batman’s rogues’ gallery. Each entry is fairly different from the one prior, leading to fans having their favorites for different reasons. Asylum is foundational as it steeps the character in a rich, gothic tone, for example, while City massively improved freeflow combat and traversal. Gameplay arguably peaks in the final entry, Knight, though it could be said that its story was undercut with a twist it didn’t earn.
