DCU film head James Gunn has taken to social media to close down a rumor that is been circulating in the previous few days concerning a possible online game set on the planet of Matt Reeves’ 2022 film The Batman.
The rumors concerning The Batman have been handily collected on this ResetEra thread, and it appears they stem from a web site referred to as Puck, which alleged that Warner Bros is at present engaged on a recreation “rooted within the Batman film” (presumably referring to the Reeves undertaking).
Sadly, it seems to be like there is not any reality to these rumors, at the very least so far as James Gunn is worried (and he would know, on condition that he is overseeing all the pieces to do with DC’s excursions into its cinematic universe proper now).
Over on Threads, a consumer requested Gunn whether or not or not latest rumors concerning a recreation set within the universe of The Batman had been true.
In response, Gunn stated that there was “no reality to this in any respect”, which is just about as unequivocal a denial as you may get. That is not an exec being evasive or making obscure denials; that is a flat-out “no”. Sorry, The Batman followers. Appears such as you’re out of luck.
Whereas he was at it, Gunn additionally quashed the rumor that the track “Tubthumping” by Chumbawamba was being performed on the set of the brand new Superman film. Approach to break my desires, James.
It may not be over for Batman followers
Whereas Gunn may need put paid to The Batman rumors, that is to not say there’s nothing within the works on this entrance, at the very least if a latest LinkedIn job posting is to be believed.
Not too long ago, senior Rocksteady methods programmer Tae Ho Kang added a brand new part to the “expertise” a part of his LinkedIn profile. Mentioned part states he is at present engaged on the tech staff for an “unannounced undertaking” at Rocksteady, which started growth in June.
Admittedly, that is not an excessive amount of to go on; the itemizing does not state what the undertaking is (naturally), and it is doubtless that it is within the very early levels of growth if work on it started in June. Nonetheless, this might properly be the single-player recreation Rocksteady was apparently trying to pitch just a few months in the past.
In the event you weren’t a giant fan of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League (and, judging by Warner Bros’ funds, not many had been), then you definitely’ll most likely wish to keep watch over Rocksteady’s socials within the subsequent few months. Keep tuned for extra on this.
