This weekend at the VGAs, Mark Hamill may have revealed the name of the next Batman game. While accepting an award, "The Joker," played by Hamill, was clutching a script titled "Batman: Arkham World." The Joker then threw the script in the trash, saying "Oops, spoilers!" Check it out:
So, was this an early reveal of the title of the next Batman game? Or was this simply a joke? There is no way of knowing for now, but here's the evidence we have: Mark Hamill has said he's retiring from playing the Joker, so there's that -- maybe Remedy was just making a joke... But on the other hand, the VGAs are hardly an informal affair, and they obviously had to think about it before animating the segment, so I think there's a pretty good chance that will end up being the title.
I've put a call in to Arkham publisher Warner Brothers to get an official comment on the "joke," but haven't heard back yet. I'll let you know what they say when I do.

I think Batman has lives its course in the world of video games. I'd like to see a Batman Beyond game.

Irregardless if this was a joke or not, another batman game will knock it out of the park again.
R.I.P Joker even with your dying breath you got the last laugh.

World seems to be jumping the gun a bit. What about county, state, country, or continent?

In Arkham City you can hear the thugs say something like: "Arkham Asylum, Arkham City... Whats next Arkham World?" So just the next logical iteration if they continue in that vein. Not really a spoiler, I'd say a joke if anything.
Kinda like the Tremors movies, first they are underground, then they walk above ground, and now guess what? Yeah thats right, they can fly!

I was hoping/expecting the next Batman game to be Batman: Gotham City. If they did that I think they could also included vehicles(Batmobile, Batwing) to really knock it out of the park. Gotham would be so big that traversing it would warrent vehicles. I think with Batman's remote controlled batarang already having what is basically flight controls I wouldn't think it would be that hard to pull off the Batwing. Maybe this only seems like a cool idea to me but IMO it seems like something that could really ramp an already awesome franchise up a notch.
