With the Mortal Kombat 11 announcement to release date breaking our expectations of the marketing cycle, could this come out this year? I know that's unlikely but with the way video game marketing has shifted with the rise of live streams and open communication, I don't think it's impossible.

The latest gossip comes (supposedly) via a QA tester for WB Montreal sounding off in a Discord server, as first reported by the Arkham focused YouTube channel The Flix Fix. This playtester claims - among several other things - that WB Montreal's upcoming Batman game is called Batman: Arkham Crisis, centres around the superhero's Court of Owls comic arc, will release in the Fall of this year, features an open world map almost twice the size of GTA 5's Los Santos, and includes co-op multiplayer functionality.

That's fucking insane if it's true. GTA5 was huge...

I'm going to set my expectations as low as humanly possible.

A Batman 4v1 multiplayer game where one person gets to play as the Batman with his gadgets, and the others are from the other factions. Your goal is to "capture the knight", his goal is to make your life a living hell. Think the Hunter form L4D, or the creature from The HIdden: Source if you are a cool person.

Origins is my fav. of the bunch, so I hope it's more of that. Angry Bats is he best.

I really, really, really hope this gets announced tomorrow. Arkham Knight feels like it happened ages ago. We need a new batman game!

I still don't see how people get Court of Owls from those symbols. This here is their insignia:

The symbols look nothing like that, and I don't see anything resembling a Owl or Talon. The only thing that seems obvious is the demon head (=League of Assassins). Also, the symbols look like they are related somehow, they share similar elements. Maybe different factions within the League?

Tomorrow's teaser will be "Dance the Knight Away" leading to the announcement of Just Dance: Batman 80th Anniversary Edition

Cautiously optimistic. I loved the main trilogy but thought Origins didn't do it for me. It felt a bit unrefined compared to the RS games. Great choice for villains though if true. I hope WB Montreal can step up their game.

Because it's been rumored for a while and Scott Snyder tweeted and deleted a Court of Owls saying while quoting a previous WB tweet.

I don't get it from those symbols, but Scott Snyder tweeted and deleted a mention of the Court of Owls after quote tweeting WB Montreal's Batman Day tweet.

If you told me after City I would struggle to get excited for another Batman game I'd look at you like you're nuts. Goddamn, Knight was a fucking disappointment in every way.

That said, I loved the Court of Owls arc of Batman so I'm hopeful here.

I get all the leaks on Court of Owls, but that video symbol looks like the Demon Head to me.......

So I'm confused.

Origins was excellent so I'm casually interested. We'll see what they've got hopefully tomorrow.

A group of high society Gothamites that have secretly run the city for a long time. They have an army of somewhat undead people called Talons. They're a pretty recent addition to the Batman stories.
They also (technically) were responsible for a multiverse Crisis.

That is literally a Demon Head and a stylish A. I would be shocked if its not the League and Ra's Al Ghul as the villain, unless he teams up with the Court.

The timing of this is suspicious, State of Play is tomorrow. Hm....

Also hard to get hyped with WB Montreal, Arkham Origins was really rough. Hoping they've stepped it up.

There seems to be a 'freemason-y' symbol evolving over time, in addition to it morphing backwards from a Demon's Head symbol. The former fits with it being an antagonistic secret society.

It could be both.
