That&#8217;s really tough,&#8221; and that &#8220;as long as we&#8217;re still enjoying it and as long as we feel we can contribute to the Batman universe&#8230; That&#8217;s how it feels. There&#8217;s some amazing stuff going on with Batman all around the world at the moment and we feel as though we&#8217;re making our own little contribution in the form of the Arkham-verse. So as long as we&#8217;ve got stories to tell, so long as we feel we can do that and do that really well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He also confirmed that as long as the studio has fresh ideas for the character and the Batman universe, it is keen to continue working with the franchise.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s no other character that&#8217;s as awesome as Batman who&#8217;s got such an incredible rogues gallery, who&#8217;s got such and amazing structure for gameplay. All it takes is to give a guy an assault rifle and it changes the entire nature of combat,&#8221; he said. &#8220;So you can put Batman up against 30 thugs in the street and just cane them and feel like a total don but as soon as one of them&#8217;s got a shotgun you have to rethink what you do. That&#8217;s really rare for a superhero and we really love using the facets of his personality to create gameplay out of that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"340\" height=\"190\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/ZDVMcgYvYqw?version=3&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;rel=0\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"340\" height=\"190\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/ZDVMcgYvYqw?version=3&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;rel=0\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/embed><\/object>\n<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php\/18442-More-Batman-games-likely-to-come-after-Arkham-City\" target=\"_self\" title=\"Rocksteady wants to make more Batman games after Arkham City\"><strong>Rocksteady wants to make more Batman games after Arkham City<\/strong><\/a> &lt;&lt; Comments and views<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&quot;So as long as we&#039;ve got stories to tell&quot;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":161,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14420","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14420","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/161"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14420"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14420\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14420"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14420"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14420"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
