The Future of Batman Games After Arkham Knight
Rocksteady's Arkham series comes to an end this year with Batman: Arkham Knight. What's next for the caped crusader in video games? Earlier this month, millions of Batfans went crazy for a collector's statue that potentially spoiled the ending to Batman: Arkham Knight, the final chapter in Rocksteady Studios' "Arkham Trilogy." The blunder was discovered by London-based gaming site VideoGamer on Amazon UK, which is now taking pre-orders for the Arkham Knight Collector's Edition that includes the infamous statue. I should note that the original VideoGamer post is no longer available on their website. Amazon UK also quickly swapped out the promo image. Here comes a potentially major spoiler... The inscription on the plaque below the statue -- which pretty closely resembles the memorial built in the Batman's honor at the end of The Dark Knight Rises -- reads, "From a grateful city in memory of the Gotham Knight."

A lot of this trailer can be interpreted as Bruce's swansong. It opens with a voiceover of the last will and testament of Thomas Wayne, as Bruce stares down at the dark depths of the Batcave. Bruce then puts on his armor and rides off into battle. The odds are definitely stacked up against him. The city has been evacuated and the criminals have taken control of Gotham. Two-Face, Riddler, and Penguin all set their sights on capturing the abandoned city, and Scarecrow plans to unleash his fear gas on the city. Batman is vastly outnumbered. Plus a new mysterious villain known only as the Arkham Knight has a personal vendetta against the Caped Crusader. How will Bruce make it out of this alive?
