Arkham '66--same sort of play mechanics and open world as say City, only it's 60s Batman and villains and locales.
You'd have to use sound-alike voice actors for most of them naturally but still-- 60s Batman vs Gorshin style Riddler, Romero Joker etc and the show only baddies like King Tut or False Face. It would be fun as hell.

A 66 Arkham game would be a great chance to affectionately parody elements of the franchise overall. Criminals getting hit by the Batmobile only for the Adam West Batman to explain to Robin in convoluted fashion how the car has been outfitted with Bat cushion tranquilizers to make sure no one's killed would be greatly amusing.

That game would be too damn good. That sounds dope. If not that maybe a Batman Beyond title or hell even one where it's Damian Wayne as Batman in that alternate timeline.
Actually, f*** it, gimme a Batman: The Animated Series as an Arkham title. Let's go all the way with it.

This is a pretty great idea. It would be pure fun and so vibrant with its world. Someone get on this immediately.

The over the top part in Knight where Batman and Robin infiltrate that one place with the Joker song number made me wish the whole game was a goofy Batman and Robin adventure so I'd be so down for this.

At the very least they could make a next-gen cel shaded B:TAS game adaptation that has more versatile gameplay than the Adventures of Batman & Robin SNES game did. |

Something I realize is that a 66 style Arkham game would allow for some real creative silliness with the predator maps. Batman or Robin subduing foes via activating a giant magnet would make the game worth it alone. Plus it would be a real novelty to see the darker modern villains in that universe; Professor Pyg as the fiendish criminal with various barnyard animal costumed flunkies and the aim using a transformation ray to turn people into swine.

i want the same plot as Arkham Knight but Scarecrows gas causes everyone to turn into hoodlums who loiter, don't put out the their cigarettes, and tp/egg random houses.

This is... an absolutely fantastic idea.
60s TV Batman is my personal favorite version of the character, but even aside from that, the retro art direction ALONE would make this worth playing.

Final Boss better be a Surfing contest with The Joker. It would make for a better final battle than the one we got in Arkham Asylum.

I want one that isn't based on any mainstream Bat-verse.
I'm still sad about the cancellation of Gotham By Gaslight...

What happened to that Silver Age game that was supposed to be coming out?
