I’m a big fan of shared, collective funtimes, so I must lay flowers at the feet of posters on theBatman Arkham subreddit(maybe not flowers; like, bat-themed knives and big stompy boots. I don’t know, what does Batman like?). A couple of weeks ago, with no new mainline Arkham game since 2015’sArkham Knight, they started discussing Batman: Arkham World, a fourth game in the series that came out in 2021. Except, of course, it does not exist.

The person who kicked it off appears to be u/FrozeninIce248, who declared that the sub shouldtake a leaf out of the Titanfall subredditandthen did. They posted commemorating the anniversary of Arkham World’s release, asking for “this sub’s opinion on the game”. “I loved the open world in this game the most,” they said, “because it was a literal world”. And boy did the sub respond.
Since then there have been a lot of posts, all expanding the Arkham World lore in both the content of the original post itself and the discussion in threads beneath it. Here are some things I know about Batman: Arkham World:
Technically the canonical follow up to Arkham Knight isSuicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, but that’s not as fun and it isn’t outuntil next yearanyway. There’s alsoGotham Knights, which looks more traditionally Arkham-y but doesn’t actually have Batman in it.
