According to anonymous industry sources, Rocksteady Studios' next Batman title will be revealed at E3 2013.
Last month, a Time Warner earnings call revealed that the next game in the Batman: Arkham series was due out later this year. According to the French site Gameblog, the next Arkham game will be revealed at E3, with the title hitting next-gen systems in late 2013. Oh, and it won't be a sequel; instead, Batman: Arkham Origins will be a prequel inspired by the Silver Age of comics, which ran from the mid-1950s to around 1970.
This isn't the first time we've heard rumors about a Silver Age Batman game, and the fact that Time Warner already let the cat out of the bag about the next Batman also lends support to this unconfirmed report. If true, Arkham Origins will have appearances from other Justice League members, like fan favorites Green Lantern and Superman.
It's already been reported that Arkham Asylum and Arkham City writer Paul Dini won't be returning to pen the next Batman game, which is a crying shame, since he's written some of the best Batman stories of the last 20 or so years. We also know that Mark Hamill won't be back in his iconic role as the voice of the Joker. If the next Arkham game is indeed due out in 2013, we'll likely hear more about it at E3; whether it turns out to be this long-rumored Silver Age prequel remains to be seen.

Okay, the Adam West show was campy as all hell, but an Arkham themed game based on it? This could be awesome!

I am so hoping that when you K.O. a guy you get one of those cheesy *POW WHAM* sound effects, like the old TV show, or for the youngsters amongst us, like in that Saints Row the Third DLC pack that gives you super powers.

Or like many of the Batman: The Brave and the Bold episodes.
Probably the best Batman TV series ever, with no offense meant to Adam West, but it's like if Adam West's Batman had an actual budget to speak of.

We have been, and there are some things we need to talk about. We're worried about you.

Not a sequel to Arkham City.
No Paul Dini.
No Mark Hamil.
If there's no Kevin Conroy we might as well write the whole thing off and wait for the real sequel made by Rocksteady.

Those dreams are entirely natural.
... and maybe, someday soon, they will -- how shall I say? -- pan out!

My Guess is that Rocksteady are busy working on a Batman game for the next gen and this is just an attempt to get one last sequel out on the current crop of consoles in the meantime.
If they are working with the current engine and it’s just more of the same I’d probably be quite happy with that as a stopgap. It aint broke so I don’t hope they try and fix it.
So is Kevin Conroy in this or not?
