Ideas Wanted: for 'Batman the game'...

I’m creating an RPG game called Batman: The Game using Unreal Engine 4. (Same engine for arkham series lolo) I’m gonna need YOU guys to give me some ideas, and also I will ignore any poorly thought answers. My first question is, I’m making a Joker model, but I don’t know if I should base it on my Joker Mii (With realistic elements of course) or base it on an existing live action Joker. Reply as soon as you can. Help much appreciated. 😄

When’s something gonna happen?

sounds like an exciting undertaking! i say start with your own joker, its a world you’re creating, so use yours but keep another live action in your thoughts as you progress in development there maybe a place for another one (possibly somehow doing a more live actionish version of Hamill’s).
I don’t what you’re thinking by way gameplay; but I’ve always loved Hush as a character, also Zsasz can be a real dark graphic storyline (Lector thoughts). Freezes tragic story, carrie kelly can bring some attention to the game and be awesome to finally have in a game. Court of Owls can bring in Dad. Knightfall’s got some great ideas for character arcs. Im kind of just throwing all types out there depending on the game you’re making (like a GTA or KOTR or something totally different). Just some thoughts. Hope they’re not dumb. Sounds awesome though!

Thanks! Now how should the fighting mechanics be? My batman game is technically a beat em up.

well I’d start with what time Batman is at like;

Early days
Good few years, experienced
Hardened older and wise

id say just write out as many ideas as you can for each one of the above and see what works well. Like in his early days the power is down all across gotham and at the source of it, for example hush is the one controlling gotham and working in the shadows pulling all the strings and the game could be on how Batman deals with this and how he adapts to his surroundings.

When he’s well in to being the Batman it could be where he believes he knows gotham and he has all crime under control and in comes the joker

Even if you want check out some Batman comic arcs and if you see one you like and you feel thats what you want to make your game on go ahead but make sure you put your own twist on it and really make it your own 😄

AS FOR JOKER
Make him look scary. Then put your own twist on him menacing, crime boss, insane etc

Now, how should joker die in the game? it can’t be at the hands of batman, because he doesn’t kill and golden age doesn’t count. He has to die in an epic way, like falling.

Well for him dying you could have be in a twisted way like in that one Batman the animated series run where joker kidnaps robin and pretty much makes him go insane and when told to shoot batman he shoots and kills the joker.

But honestly i wouldn’t kill him. Maybe make it like it seems that hes dead but really hes still lurking in the shadows twisting things or have in like in arkham knight where hes dead and hes inside batmans mind basically just torturing him and making him go insane.

But if you were to kill him have it where he does it to almost prove a message. Like the final stage they could fight on top of Wayne tower or something and when batman beats him he goes falling over the edge but batman catches him. (you could have it where batman is badly wounded from previous stages) and hes struggling to help him up but then joker flips it around and knocks himself out of batmans hold and falls down from the top of the building laughing. Then lands on a gcpd car and everyone around is shocked and in disbelieve. Then cut back up to see batman and he believes it was him that killed the joker and he broke his one rule. Then there you go you could even make a sequel game.

Broken heart…or ends up covered in sand. Joker hates sand…😁
He should die similarly like barbaras attack in KJ, if you go that story route. If not, then at the hands of Jim to protect his daughter, or Harley in some twisted way that takes her to place shell never leave (not literal place). Or shes defending Poison Ivy and you can use that relationship in the story. Maybe ivy killing him. Its a crazy thought but if you could somehow use the swamp thing batman story arc that would be epic…but difficult as all hell. Thinking of a justice leaguer who maybe hasnt killed but could. Or even better robin kills him.
