So it appears Arkham 3 may be called "Batman - Arkham Knight", which is a title I like and follows a certain progression.

This isn't confirmed but does seem like one of the better title options I've heard, and with the other basic info given does seem likely.
On that note, I think it'd be cool if the developers of Origins, WB Montreal, did a spin off of the Arkham series that focused on Terry McGinnis, and call it Batman - Beyond Arkham. It would follow the same basic formula of the Arkham games, but be set in the future, and offer a sort of Blade Runner/Gothic design combo, as well as allowing for noticeable differentiations to the gadgets based on more advanced tech.
It would also allow for more variation in terms of enemies, who are also able to use more advanced tech, giving them the ability to shield themselves from attacks, detect Batman lurking in shadows or even his heartbeat/electromagnetic emissions from the tech in Batman's suit, etc, which would offer a nice challenge and variation of the standard thugs in the previous games. Plus if I recall correctly the Beyond suit allowed Terry to become invisible, which would offer a more expanded approach to the stealth aspect of the current games, but be useless against certain enemies with those electromagnetic and/or heartbeat detectors. The tech upgrades could also offer interesting and new approaches to detective skills, etc. Just an idea.
