I don't even know how to feel about Batman news in 2020. Wont get my hopes up because just like everything else, nothing comes of it.

Reminds me of this PoS

PoS?! This might have been the best multiplayer shooter to have come out last generation.

I'm hoping this is the title for the Suicide Squad game and they just want to keep the Knights branding. If it's for the WB Montreal Batman game it makes it sound multi-player co-op focused

Edit: Ah well, just seen the other thread about the Suicide Squad domain.


Because the WB Montreal and Rocksteady games have been teased and speculated about for so long now, I don't think I can bring myself to get interested or excited in anything to do with them anymore until I actually see some gameplay of them in action.


I dont understand, who doesn't like online co-op game? Unless i missread something

I feel I might be in the minority but I much prefer a focused single player experience than co-op.

WB doesn't really buy domains for announcements that are hella far away, so I think we're getting these trailers earlier than DC FanDome. The event prolly will have gameplay and shit.

Clearly it's WB getting into the American Football/Handegg market and making a game based off the local FL team in Gotham, the Gotham Knights.

I'm sure it'll be mostly normal American Football, but occasional fear gas will turn opponents into monsters.

This has been a shameless excuse to reference Batman the Animated Series, which is still great.

This is just a guess, but I can't remember a time when a publisher would buy a domain and then wait months to reveal a game lol if I'm wrong lemme know
I also don't remember a time when a developer would tease logos of their next game and then wait months to reveal it :p

I hope it's soon! Although I'm kinda pessimistic and think they might wait until the August event. Maybe it'll show up at Xbox's?

Is it "Batman: Gotham Knights" or just "Gotham Knights"?

WB are not going to let go of that Bats tag for marketing reasons.

I just finished a big tabletop campaign called Gotham Knights. Can't believe DC are stealing all my great ideas.

I wonder if they'll have Dick get a lot of the spotlight considering the event this is based on.

I assume it's going to be Dick (Nightwing), Tim (Robin) and Barbara (Batgirl). The comic also featured Jason (Red Hood) and Damian (Robin, as Tim was Red Robin there), but I sadly don't think they'll feature as many playable characters.

Although they already have some groundwork with the DLCs in previous games.

lmaoo true! This seems to point towards some sort of finalized announcement plan. Especially with also having SS.

But forreal, does anyone know of a point when a publisher would wait hella long after buying a domain to reveal a game?

They didn't buy Batman gotham knights, so it seems like it's just called gotham knights.

I get that. But thought of their history with the IP, they won't let go of the Batman title. I vaguely remember their official website for each of their games in the Arkham trilogy being "arkhamasylumgame .com", "arkhamcitygame .com" or "arkhamknightgame .com", wasn't it? For PR and other pre-release stuff. Obviously those domains have been taken down now, and the games have been merged into just listings on WB Games' homepage.

Also, whatever happened to that clues/ARG on WB Montreal's site for this game? IIRC there were only 2 of the 6 logos revealed. Ra's Al Ghul/League of Assassins and the GCPD. They did that last october and now we're getting a reveal shortly without completing the rest of those.

This game's marketing is all kinds of FUBAR man lol

I could live with that title (or subtitle). Would be weird to abandon the Arkham name though.

When they bought the domains for the Arkham games, they registered all of them just as Arkham Knight and Arkham Origins. Batman wasn't included.

Edit: Nevermind I'm wrong.

I just looked it up, and the domains had Batman in them. Batmanarkhamknight.com was the one people latched onto when it first leaked. Idk what's going on with the logos but it would be nice if they finished it lol
Funnily enough, WB bought harrypottermagicawakened.com months before the mobile game would be announced
Oof. That could've been a be tease thing. I know most of the time they either do it on announcement day or reaaalllyy close to it.

If that's referring to the Gotham Knights introduced in Rebirth, fingers crossed for a playable Kate, Cassandra, and Clayface.

We got 4 perfect-fine solo Batman games, all the other characters have so much more interesting of a moveset at this point its time to give them a shot with a co-op game.

I want to play 90%+ of a Batman game as Cassandra Cain or Catwoman or maybe even Huntress and crew.

I remember that Scarecrow episode from BTAS, but this is probably some MTX filled multiplayer garbage.

I don't like the plural. If this ends up being some co-op focused game I'll throw a fit
