The makers of Batman: AC are probably going to move on from Batman eventually. I got to thinking, if they decided to stick with the Superhero genre, who would make the most sense. The factors I considered are fighting style(Has to be somewhat similar to Bats, but not exact), level design(Should be something to challenge AC's size)and overall feel of the game(they do dark damn well, so I wouldn't want to see them on something like Superman), but feel free to adjust to whatever you feel is important, if it gets the conversation going. Here are three that some of you are going to be pissed I thought of, too: Wolverine in Japan: Massive size, different stages, and explains why there are no x-men to back him. Deadpool: Just being anywhere. And finally, my favorite... Ghost Rider: You can start off in hell, and fight your way out to the surface world, where you find a city full of sin to use your weapons of vengeance against. Well...which do you think?

Superman. I was reading an article very similar to this topic and the writer/designer of Batman is interested in working on a Superman game. Personally, I think a Spawn game would be perfect for this crew. Very similar in many aspects.

It's not my preference either. To be honest, I have never liked Superman. He is too perfect, every other major super hero seems to have some personality qwirk to them. Superman is too goody goody lol. Like I said, a Spawn game would be amazing, as would a deadpool game (as you mentioned).

The crew behind B:AA would not be able to write a good Deadpool game. I disagree entirely with what you said.

That being said, a Wolverine game would be awesome.

Probably a third and final entry in their Batman saga. Trilogies just seem to be what's up these days. After that I couldn't really care less. I don't like DC nearly as much as I do Marvel. I'd love to see an Iron Man gamedone well, but I'm not holding out hope. Aren't they owned by WB?

Yes, and what a cool game that would be! I would like a superhero game that's away from the mainstream characters, and this would be it.

Problem with a Spawn game is the same problem with a Superman game. Spawn has wayyy too many powers. And seeing as his cape would have to be almost its own character, the animation would have to be incredibly tight.

A Punisher game would be amazing with batman mechanics, add shooting, hostage taking, interrogations, awesome story, and voila :D but that would be too good to be true.

Spawn fights against beings that possess powers just as strong as his though. His story is unique and if anything the animations would be more of a good challenge for a creative design team.

Rocksteady is owned by Warner Bros who owns DC... so don't name any Marvel characters; because it won't happen.

I would like to see them tackle Aquaman(obviously), The Flash, or Green Lantern.

Aquaman? Really? I agree with Green Lantern, But Flash...meh. And while WB may indeed own Rocksteady, doesn't mean we can't talk about which Marvel hero we'd like to see them do a game about.

Not specifically superheroes here, but why not make a Rocksteady & Bebop game just for the lulz? But anyway, if they made another hero game, I agree with an earlier poster about making a proper Iron Man game. IM2 just simply sucked.

I disagree about IM2 sucking, although it wasn't great.

A well made Iron Man game would be very appreciated, however.

Dead Pool, Spawn, or Ghost Rider. IMO the crew at Rocksteady really gets that feeling of griddiness and brutality that these characters require. Riding around Hell and where ever else on a motor cycle sounds incredibally badass. Dead Pool would be really interesting because he uses guns so seeing how Rocksteady would pull that off sounds interesting. They've got great voice acting and hearing him do his witty puns sounds sweet. But I really think the Spawn game is where they would shine. He's such a badass anti hero and I think they could really pull off the overall immersive feeling with Spawn as they did with Batman. Using stealth by blending into walls, regenerating limbs, and some kickass methods of traversing the city would make one hell of a game.

I'll play any game made by Rocksteady. I would like to see an awesome Punisher game, but that's Marvel so it probably wouldn't happen. Maybe DC will make a new superhero to introduce in a game. I wouldn't want a Superman game, though.

Deadpool gets boring, very quickly.

Wolverine would get boring, very quickly.

A Nightcrawler or Iceman game would be boss.

I would want a game with three main protagonists that you can switch between anytime. Similar to the game Trine but not a side scroller. Nightcrawler being one of them.

While I agree with quite a few posters' argument for Spawn, as well as the idea of a Predator game, I'm surprised no one brought up the name of the single greatest superhero ever. THE TICK! No, I'm kidding. I was waiting for people to bring up Luke Cage and Ironfist, but I can understand how those guys wouldn't be on the forefront of someones mind. I do think that with some of their latest stories being so dark and dreary, that they'd fit in a Rocksteady crafted world rather easily. Especially if you start it off around the time Luke's kid goes missing. I hope Rocksteady continues to do Batman games for quite awhile, because if its true that they want to do a superman game, I think I'm done with them. As even though I think Supe's is one of the greatest comic book icons ever, its virtually impossible to make a good game for him. His powers are far too great to give him an enemy that's worth fighting, without making the experience seem cheap by introducing one of his three weakness(magic, kryptonite, darksied/doomsday). I mean, perhaps if you start the game off before his powers developed, and with each level you learn a new power until finally you have them all at the boss fight...But even then, you might as well call it Smallville, get that Rosenbaum kid to be on the cover and watch as NO ONE buys it. bah.

My god if Rocksteady could take the original Punisher game on the previous gen consoles and improve it. That would be an orgasmic game.

The game I would truly like to play, would be one entirely from the Joker's perspective. The Joker is hands down my favorite comic book character of all time, and I would love to play a game with a campaign playing as him, instead of against him. The only problem would be that playing as the Joker may pose some possibilities or choices in the game that are too extreme or too dark.

However, sticking to superheroes, my vote would go to Martian Manhunter or Wonder Woman. I think both characters could transfer over to video games very well, have cool powers that would be fun to use, and I like their individual backstory's enough to warrant playing their games.

I don't think I would like a JLA game, unless they could find a way to make it extremely different from Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1 & 2. Since I don't see a way of them really changing the formula on a superhero group game, I don't think it would bring anything new to the table other than a different set of characters to use.

Zalcor

Have you ever even read a Deadpool comic..?

Grittiness? Deadpool? Really?

Maybe if it's an Uncanny Xmen game yes, but even then he's the comic relief of the team. The Joker gets away with being funny in AA because he is so twisted. Deadpool is just silly humor.

Okay, I'm about to rip off all the best character ideas here: Spawn has potential. Ghostrider- either the cycling would have to be done perfectly, or it would need to be kept as a cinematic device only. The Punisher would be awesome, but for melee combat he'd have to fight with a knife- it would be closer to Assassin's Creed's fight system than Arkham's. Iron Fist- too awesome to put in a videogame- the world would implode. Bad Ideas: Wolverine is too berserk for the combat system they've crafted. For the penultimate Wolverine game, play Xmen Origins. Superman- you just can't make a good Superman game- but then, they said the same thing about Batman. And my idea: Daredevil- it'd be almost identical to Batman, which sure wouldn't be a bad thing.

Iron Fist just won this entire thread.

Open world Spiderman with fully realized swinging around a bustling New York City with the polish that Batman AA and AC have. I would absolutely love that type of a game.

first off rocksteady is woned by WBinteractive, and WB owns DC comics, so yeah strictly DC characters to be a bit more optimistic. as much as I would like a great superman game there is no engine that could support all the things one would like to do with superman, he is so damn fast that Metropolis could be crossed in a matter of seconds, destruction had to be all around since Superman fights mostly heavy hitters....well you can figure the rest I think they should stick to more "urban" characters since more can be squeezed from them, for example Nightwing, who might be more acrobatic than batman (in AA batman was a bit slow on the ground but the gadgets really help him, as someone posted Green Arrow, since that quiver can hold the most surprising trick arrows

X-men (they are in dire need of a game that can re energize the series)

Wolverine

Avengers

Those are the only 3 I care about.
