A lot of people seem to be going a bit bonkers over last night’s VGAs *reveal* of ‘Batman Arkham World’, as during his acceptance of the award for “Best Character of the Year”, a CGI video of the Joker had the nefarious madman waving around a script titled “Batman : Arkham World Script” before making our heads explode with excitement just a little more by whispering “oops, spoilers“.
However, as Adam White (@Adwil24 on Twitter) pointed out, the name of the game does not make sense in the slightest.
Arkham is a place in the DC universe. The name “Batman : Arkham City” makes sense because it had you exploring the city of Arkham. If you were exploring the “World”, as the Joker would have you believe, you would not be exploring Arkham, as that confines you to the city limits and would hardly be an exploration of I don’t know, anywhere else.
Either way we can take this to mean that a sequel is on the way, regardless of its full title.
