Gamers love their mysteries, so it was hardly surprising that a Batman: Arkham World reference at the Spiked Game Video Trophies set brains afire. The reference was spotted during The Joker's CGI acceptance speech for his "Best Character" award, where he was seen holding a script for Arkham World.
Surprise surprise! It's not actually a thing.
"What was referenced in Rocksteady's acceptance speech was added in good fun only," said a Warner Brothers rep, when asked by VG247.
So it turns out that the joke was ... actually a joke! What a surprise, and thank sodomy that Destructoid didn't run the original story. At least, I think we didn't. Let me keep my finger over this "Delete" button, just in case.

So hard.
Well played, guys.

I believe it's pronounced fac-e-palm
Luckily as an avid reader of Dtoid I already knew that Mark Hamill had stated publicly that Arkham City would be his last time voicing the Joker. So no, there won't be another Arkham Game featuring the Joker.
At least I beg to god that they do not try to replace Mark Hamill with somebody else.
We'd need Arkham County first, then Arkham State, then we could get to Arkham Country.
Thing is, after Arkham Asylum, the fact that a sequel was already in the works was actually news. We don't need a VGA teaser trailer to tell us a third Rocksteady Batman game is on the way.
