DCU film head James Gunn has taken to social media to close down a rumor that is been circulating in the previous few days relating to a possible online game set on the earth of Matt Reeves’ 2022 film The Batman.
The rumors relating to The Batman have been handily collected on this ResetEra thread, and it appears they stem from a website known as Puck, which alleged that Warner Bros is at present engaged on a recreation “rooted within the Batman film” (presumably referring to the Reeves challenge).
Sadly, it seems to be like there isn’t any reality to these rumors, at the least so far as James Gunn is worried (and he would know, on condition that he is overseeing every thing to do with DC’s excursions into its cinematic universe proper now).
Over on Threads, a consumer requested Gunn whether or not or not current rumors relating to a recreation set within the universe of The Batman had been true.
In response, Gunn mentioned that there was “no reality to this in anyway”, which is just about as unequivocal a denial as you will get. That is not an exec being evasive or making obscure denials; that is a flat-out “no”. Sorry, The Batman followers. Seems 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. Option to smash my desires, James.
It won’t 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 least if a current LinkedIn job posting is to be believed.
Lately, senior Rocksteady programs programmer Tae Ho Kang added a brand new part to the “expertise” a part of his LinkedIn profile. Stated part states he is at present engaged on the tech group for an “unannounced challenge” at Rocksteady, which started improvement in June.
Admittedly, that is not an excessive amount of to go on; the itemizing does not state what the challenge is (naturally), and it is probably that it is within the very early phases of improvement if work on it started in June. Nonetheless, this might nicely be the single-player recreation Rocksteady was apparently trying to pitch a number of months in the past.
In the event you weren’t an enormous fan of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League (and, judging by Warner Bros’ funds, not many had been), you then’ll most likely need to control Rocksteady’s socials within the subsequent few months. Keep tuned for extra on this.
