So it would be set in Blüdhaven, obviously. Batman can make an appearance, but I don’t want him to have a ton to do with the plot. I think Oracle being in your ear the whole time would work so well.

And maybe you can even go visit her at her at her apartment whenever you want.

For those that like it (me) you could establish or develop their romance throughout the game.

But down to the gameplay side of things. I don’t have much to say on the combat, just that I would want it to be fast, frenetic and acrobatic. And, you know, good.

Traversal, to me, is key. It was the inspiration to make this post.

I want traversal to be a mix of parkour and gliding.

You can give him a grapple-gun, but I wouldn’t want it to be as instant as it is in the Arkham games. Just something to speed up your climbing. Picture the grapple ascension in AC Syndicate, where you speed to the top of a wall while running up its side.

You could also use the grapple as a way to swing off of things, something that wasn’t attempted in the Arkham games.

I picture the parkour being faster than AC, with more wall-running and larger jumps.

For the gliding, I’d want it to be more like Just Cause than Arkham. It’s much faster, and controlling it takes some skill, especially when you’re weaving around buildings.

I would want to implement fall/collision damage, to add some tension to the traversal, cause I think that would make it feel a lot more rewarding and thrilling.

So basically the loop would be using your grapple to run up a wall, while jumping and moving side to side to avoid obstacles. You’d get to the top, run across, and then jump off. You aim your glide just right so you can land safely on the next roof. You free-run across that, and jump off again. Maybe in your glide, you have to make a sharp turn, so you grapple to a building and swing around the corner, transitioning right back into a glide.

Let me know any ideas you guys have, about gameplay, story, or whatever.
