I sure hope WB Montreal handles CO-OP correctly. No forced Co-Op sections or anything like that. Make it like Borderlands.
Ah so they're doing a new IP.

......Superman is, like, the household name....
They got a movie reboot in the works with JJ though.

Gotta be honest, I've been hating on the idea of a Batman: Arkham Reboot for months, even more so than an Origins sequel and or sequel triilogy and honestly? It makes the most sense to do it. I will admit that Knight isn't an ending, that it could have continued on where Bruce comes back into the spotlight and that kicks off a whole new story Beyond style but a reboot is the way to go. New universe. New characters. New everything. Also, co-op, which can be alot of fun with friends. Would I love another Arkham? Of course. Would it matter if it was a sequel or prequel? Who cares, it's Batman and right now, I think we all need to admit that the Arkhamverse (as we know it) is over. A new universe can be something truly incredible. The rumor did state that it could kickstart an entirely new universe that's connected to one another. So that'll be Rocksteady's Suicide Squad/Task Force X game, and whoever the hell is working on that alleged Superman game. It honestly is the most logical sense to do this.

I was hoping for a new Arkham game but WB did call Arkham Knight the finale to the Arkham series so they really couldn't make another game. I think this new universe could be like God of War. Revamped gameplay and mechanics with a new story. Hopefully just as good.
The Court of Owls are the antagonist.
And when the Owl pulls off the mask. Bam there's the Joker.
Agreed...talk about a waste.
The most disheartening news to come from this...
Hey, it could be could. Give it a chance. You know Rocksteady. They can easily pull this off.
I have all the faith in Rocksteady...just not a SS fan at all, not compelling to me.
I'll keep an open mind though.
I know a lot of things that are more broad strokes. What all do you guys know so far?

It's a reboot, features the court of owls and bat family, has co op. That's all.
Reboot, bat family, co-op, Court of Owls. That about covers it I guess.
No, Batman is your household name. But at the moment, Wonder Woman is in people's minds. This is only going to increase with the release of her movie this year. I like Supes and his game would sell like gangbusters, but I also think it's silly not to capitalize on the fact that WW has a successful movie franchise. If it were me, she'd have a mobile game, a cartoon show, and a AAA title. Superman can happen too though, no question.
ah, i missed that
EDIT: both JS (and then zhuge) said it's a game about a group of superheroes, which the SS is *not*. so hmm

Urgh I would love a Wonder Woman game. Playing as Kass in the Amazon Armor in AC: Odyssey made me feel like her. WB are sitting on a goldmine for not doing a WW game.
This is splitting hairs. That's a "group of superheroes". The film showed them beating a supervillain even lol.

A proper WW game would be an easy sell for most people, and possibly pick up a different group of fans as well.

Do you know what other superheroes might currently be in the works for this new DC universe other than Batman, Superman, Suicide Squad?
All they would need to do is replicate the Blades of Chaos gameplay from God of War 1-3 plus the handheld spin-offs, mix that up with Fury from Darksiders and we have a winner. It's not hard. It would make banks. I'd play the heck out of it.

Well...can you blame us?
But seriously though this is the only thing I want to know if you can answer it.
Bats, Supes, and Wondy are all household names at this point. Hell fucking Aquaman is a household name at this point after that billion dollar movie. Bats may be the most popular but it's not like your average casual doesn't know the basics of who Supes and Wondy are at this point. Wondy has her second movie and Supes has got a TV show and two animated movies coming, plus Abrams may be rebooting him. A WW game is a slam dunk that WB is too goddamn stupid to see, I totally agree with you. For my own selfish reasons I do hope it's Superman, my boy had one of the worst decades ever with the 2010s, and he could use a good video game.
I really do hope this isn't a case of the DCEU, where WB sees Marvel is making their "gamer verse" and now WB wants to try to copy them. Again.

This time WB will have the head start since they have 3 DC games in development.

I swear this is the only place where I see complaints about the art style. What is wrong with it? It looks like Batman.

I could only beat it with infinite lives. I had memorized whole map back then.Hopefully this :
That means only one game this generation from them. What the hell are they making that took them so long
It's been 5 years since last game
My only fear about this reboot. I think the arkham series was way too in love with the Joker.
I know it sucks especially because I've been waiting for their game for so long. I just platinumed knight and got 100% of the trophies. I wasn't planning on going into next gen after the mid gen upgrades but if their game & this rumored superman game are next gen only I might have to dive in early.
can blame them. Mark Hamill is available again after Star Wars ended.

The release of the game. Go to play it and it just displays an emblem teaser.
A reboot huh? That's exactly what I was hoping for. The way Arkham Knight ended was fitting for Bruce Wayne. If it continues beyond that I would have lost interest.
