It\u2019s been a while since we\u2019ve had a full-fledged\u00a0Batman\u00a0<\/em>game<\/a> for console. While the Arkham\u00a0<\/em>sub-series is continuing with Batman: Arkham Shadow<\/em>, it sounds like we\u2019ll continue waiting to get another mainline title starring the Dark Knight in our hands.<\/p>\n Puck News<\/a>\u00a0reported that a game set in the universe of Matt Reeves\u2019 The Batman\u00a0<\/em>universe<\/a> was in development as part of Warner Bros. Discovery\u2019s aim to establish a stronger games presence. Much like the upcoming Penguin\u00a0<\/em>show, this supposed project was \u201cseeded\u201d within the events of the 2022 film, though no further details (like a developer or platforms) were provided. But before folks could get too <\/em>excited, James Gunn<\/a> stepped in on Threads to say there was \u201cno true to this whatsoever.\u201d Darn.<\/p>\n Still, setting aside Gunn\u2019s rumor<\/a>\u2013quashing<\/a> word, a game centered on this specific Batman would be interesting, and a noted departure from the character\u2019s MO in the medium in quite a while. Believe it or not, Batman\u2019s last genuine tie-in game was for Batman: The Brave and the Bold <\/em>all the way back in 2010. Beyond that, his various game franchises in the past 15 years, like the Arkham, Lego<\/a>,<\/em> and Telltale<\/em><\/a> series, were all original stories that pulled from different parts of the character\u2019s decades of available source material. And part of Gunn and Peter Safran\u2019s DC game plan<\/a> is for an interconnected multimedia universe that also includes games, and film and TV actors reprising their roles in that medium.<\/p>\n Games have been an area where DC has done generally well in the last few years, and with the right team, a game based on this specific Batman could be cool. But such a title was <\/em>in the works, we\u2019d have to know immediately <\/em>if Robert Pattinson was getting in the booth to play his weird, angsty-ass iteration of Bruce Wayne.<\/p>\n Want more io9 news?
