Should the Joker return in Batman Arkham Knight?

The Joker

So I was just looking at a blog post over on Comic Book Movie.com which was titled "Why The Joker will and should Not return alive in Batman Arkham Knight" and I started speculated to myself, he has been over utilized in the Arkham Titles maybe we should leave him out. The Joker, who is ranked top 25 villain of all time is well known throughout the batman series. As a matter of fact, when you consider Batman you automatically envision him bringing down the joker. Our cherished super villain will not be apart of Batman Arkham Knight and maybe it's good that the psycho path enjoys his vacation from the lime light I mean let's not overlook the fact that he was the main antagonist of the last 2 batman games & made an appearance in the 3rd. At this point I do agree that Joker has laughed his last laugh and the players are ready for a new star.

"Reasons The Joker should stay away"

As I read the blog entry,  I must admit the author did come up with some great points as to why the joker should take a break from Arkham Knight. At first I was a bit hesitant to agree with him but even I must confess I'm ready for a brand villain to steal the spotlight, give me anybody poison ivy, Killer Croc, even Clay Face will do, but check out a few of the authors statemens made about why the Joker should not return in Batman Arkham Knight...

"Because of the plot twist in Arkham Origins, it made Joker steal the spotlight from Black Mask as the main villain just by having to have impersonated the crime lord the whole time on the game's main story plot that just makes more of the video game franchise all about him that they all thought it was just not enough for the Joker to appear as the game's secondary or tertiary villain on Batman's first encounter with him they had to make him steal the show which is why we do not want him returning alive in Batman Arkham Knight"

"Even though Joker is a great villain as well as Batman's arch enemy, the fact that he keeps on taking the spotlight as in being the one responsible for every plot that Batman must thwart through out most of the games is like the people who make these games are too obsessed with the clown that they just don't get that we all had enough of him."

"One very good reason why Rocksteady would certainly not bring Joker back to life despite the rumors of the studio spilling the beans other than because of the clown being the reason Arkham City along with other catastrophic events happening in the Arkhamverse is because of the point of view speech Batman had made as his final words to Joker "You want to know something funny? Even after everything you've done, I would have saved you." So clearly that is one other sign of proof that Joker will not return in Arkham Knight and would only be mentioned and seen throughout Scarecrow's nightmare illusions."
