Characters that will not return in Batman Arkham Knight

While we are still waiting for Batman Arkham Knight to have more trailers released as well as 4 months left until the game is released in stores, let's go over the characters that won't be returning in Batman Arkham Knight and why.


First up the Joker

While confirmed to appear as one of Scarecrow's nightmare hallucinations, the Joker is dead for real as we all saw what went down in Batman Arkham City and he won't be resurrected as the Arkham Unhindged comics have revealed that his corpse was burned despite the rumors from fanboys on other sites

others involve Ras al Ghul who betrays Hugo Strange over Batman's anticipative skills being too much for him to give up on that he attempted to take control of the Arkham City project for himself but his betray became his downfall when Strange had enough breathe left in him to activate Protocol 11 which destroys the tower and everything in it and just he Batman fall out he tries to kill Batman for relentlessly refusing to understand how pointless it is to spare the worst and most unreasonable criminals but ends up commiting suicide as Batman backed away from him before Ra's corpse fell ontop of a pike at the entrance from the processing center into Arkham City

and the League of Assassins; with Batman Arkham Knight introducing the Arkham Ninjas as the ninja enemies of the game, it's proof that they will be replacing the League of Assassins

Hugo Strange because Ra's killed him over his failure to defeat Batman as the Dark Knight successfully outwitted every attempt the professor's Tyger Guards did to prevent him from deactivating protocol 10

Talia Al Ghul who was killed by Joker after having Clayface decieve her as the clown's healthier personality

Clayface who Joker recruited as his double and possible successor of running his gang was killed or just incapacitated by Batman with Mr. Freeze's Ice Blast pellets and by freezing him with the pellets it also froze up his spawned clay puppets and as Batman destroyed the Lazarus Pit's main generator with Talia's sword, he sends it flying into Clayface as it knocks the metamorpher into the pit before it along with the machinery was destroyed proving that the Joker whose corpse was brought out of Arkham City by Batman was the real Joker he had been 

'fighting over the years and there is no way Joker is coming back alive in Arkham Knight

and Solomon Grundy who was killed by Batman and left under the Iceberg Lounge after Arkham City was shut down

with that said stay tuned for the upcoming Batman Arkham Knight game
