The Batman Game Reportedly in Development

As a seasoned gamer with decades of Batman gaming adventures under my belt, I can’t help but feel a mix of anticipation and skepticism about this latest rumor of a new Batman game set within the world of The Batman movie. On one hand, it’s been far too long since we had a mainline Batman game that truly captured the essence of the character, and any game based on Robert Pattinson’s portrayal is bound to be intriguing.


A new Batman game appears to be under development, and unlike previous ones set within Rocksteady’s Arkham series, this one seems to be venturing into a fresh direction by being based on the world depicted in 2022’s “The Batman” movie, where Robert Pattinson plays the titular character. With a sequel to the movie and a spinoff titled “The Penguin,” set for release next month, this potential game would mark the first time this new iteration of Batman has graced the gaming world.

A casual mention of a potential video game set within the universe of The Batman surfaced in a report by Puck, which was partially hidden behind a paywall. This report also discussed possible changes at Warner Bros. Discovery and the potential division and sale of its assets. Despite ongoing rumors, Warner Bros. has continued to grow its gaming division, even acquiring a studio this year. The games produced by Warner Bros., according to Puck’s report, are considered strategic, as they are increasingly collaborating on properties such as an upcoming Penguin series for HBO and a game, both stemming from the 2022 Batman movie.

As for the forthcoming game in connection with The Batman franchise, this is essentially everything that’s been disclosed about the rumored video game nestled within its universe. With Warner Bros.’ absence from producing a primary Batman title for quite some time now, just knowing there’s supposedly a new Batman game brewing should be sufficient to spark excitement among fans who have long waited with spinoffs and lesser-anticipated projects as their only solace throughout the years. The character of Robert Pattinson’s Batman was introduced in Batman: Arkham Knight last year, but that is the sole gaming connection the universe has seen so far.

For instance, “Gotham Knights” doesn’t allow players to control Batman, while “Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League” includes Batman in its plot but not in a way that pleases most Batman fans. On the other hand, “Batman: Arkham Shadow” is an addition to the Arkham series and feels quite genuine, although it’s a VR game which may limit its potential audience compared to those who prefer Rocksteady’s Arkham games.

In simpler terms, Warner Bros. Discovery might offer insights about a possible Batman video game down the line, yet at present, Batman enthusiasts can anticipate “The Batman Part 2” and “The Penguin.”
