Paul Dini won't write next Arkham Game

It's literally like Dini based his Arkham Bane off of Batman & Robin Bane and nothing else.

You look at all the animated versions of Bane, The Animated Series, The Batman, The Brave and the Bold, Young Justice, they all have been skinny men that suddenly inflate to cartoonish proportions when injected with venom.

That was my interpretation at the time. Besides, for a video game encounter, I wasn't exactly looking forward to listening to Bane philosiphize, but I was highly looking forward to having a fight. I got why they did it the way they did. It was clear they had to downplay a lot of the villains in service to the specific story they were trying to tell with the game, while still getting them all in there. I thought they did a decent job, overall, although Bane as the main antagonist in a Batman game would be neat.

Joker used to be one of my favorites. Now, I honestly can't stand him much. Between the games and the movies (including the animated ones), they have just gone overkill with him.

There are so many characters in the Batman universe, yet they constantly keep reusing the Joker for just about everything. He's popular, we know, but he doesn't have to be the ONLY choice every time.

Absolutely no doubt in my mind they will even announce him for Injustice.

I will just wait patiently in my corner for the Riddler to get his 15 minutes.
