-I agree the next wave was going always going to be Arkham. but Its a series with a year of life left, two years from now it will juts be a used bargain bin memory. They've said its the last game.


-But you think there is enough fan base for Arkham for SEVEN waves of figures? If they follow up wave four with another wave of Arkham figures all you will have left is diehard Arkham fans left. There are more dc fans than Arkham fans, sorry but its true.

-so the only options are batman 89, superman 78, arrow and arkham?
you forgot Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Gotham, Flash 90, Flash 14, Aquaman, Smallville, Nolan trilogy, Infinite Crisis, DC Universe online, Superfriends, Adam west batman, Shazam, Isis, Swamp Thing, etc.

-You will never see a 4 inch 89 joker. They wont pay likness rights to Nicholson for a head that small. That's why Keaton looks like it was sculpted by a blind chipmunk

I get it they want tie the marketing into the game. groovy. After that take the license for a spin. They only made one mistake so far and I understand it. There is no way that Zod was intended to come before Reeves. Some exec said they wanted a hero in the chase figures and zod got moved to the front of the line and Superman is a chase figure.

Otherwise everything is just fine.

That's where you're wrong. Arkham Knight is Rocksteady's final Batman game, they're ready to move on. WB Games, on the other hand, is going to milk the cow until it keels over. It's all but guaranteed that Arkham Origins 2 (or whatever else it'll be titled) is being developed by WB Montreal, ready to be announced 6 months after AK launches.

We can expect toys to be released in unison with the games for as long they make money for everyone involved. Don't underestimate their popularity - there's gonna be a whole generation out there who sees the Arkham series as THEIR Batman, having either never seen, or just don't appreciate, the Burton/Shumacher movies, BTAS, or anything else during/before that period. It'll be a toss-up between Arkham and the Nolan movies, and as good as those first two movies were, they don't let you BE Batman.
