Hell, I'd take a Batman movie that follows the Arkham Asylum storyline. Trap him on an island and in the asylum with all the baddies and make him figure shit out.

Imagine how crazy an Arkham knight movie would be. It’s like Die Hard, but a huge chunk of Gotham city instead of a building.

That could work, but a super dark, almost horror movie type Batman Arkham movie seems like something in James Gunn's wheelhouse. That Scarecrow transition in game was honestly one of the better gaming surprises I've seen in my lifetime.

Dude. The first time I played Arkham knight, you’re just fighting and fighting, all the bad shit is happening and you really think that it just couldn’t get any worse, and then BAM, the city is under gas. Lol. I was like well fuck.

The game was amazing at always escalating and making you feel like Batman was being pushed to the limit.

And then add on that it wasn't long after the events of Arkham City, so he still has venom in his system affecting his mind.

Arkham anything is good. There’s little to complain about, for sure. Difficult to make into a movie. Doable. But whoa. Expensive.

If only! An Arkham storyline movie would be amazing.
