New Details On Rumored WB Montreal Damian Wayne Batman Game

The rumored WB Montreal Batman game will feature a very different Dark Knight 10 years in the future

With all this news leaking out, I hope there is actually a WB Montreal Batman game, because otherwise, this is a lot of news out of nothing. After supposedly cancelling the long-in development, but never confirmed Suicide Squad game and shifting focus to a rumored Batman game starring Bruce’s biological son Damian, some details of the game’s premise have been posted on Reddit by someone who said they are working on the game. Now keep in mind this is an anonymous post by someone on Reddit about a rumored game. We literally have no confirmation that any of this stuff exists, it just seems super likely and keeps growing with numerous reports.

Here’s some highlights of what the poster had to say about the next Batman game:

"The game is set a little over a decade after Arkham Knight. Bruce acts like he does in the Beyond series and has streaks of grey in his hair. Think Mr. Fantastic I guess. In regards to Two-Face…yes. However, he also puts a huge emphasis on being the executioner and being the one to carry out justice. Lots of similarities between his mentality and Red Hood.Black Mask is a female. Black Mask is actually quite different in this game. It’s become more of a title to protect whoever is in charge. It’s stated that his gang went through many leadership changes over that decade (with each being killed). The most recent person to take the position is a woman."

The poster also mentioned that Damian Wayne would be a mix of various characters’ traits from the Bat-universe, and talked about the suit he’d be wearing in the game:

"Damian in this game has a lot of his personality traits. Combine Terry, Damian from the comics, Robin and Nightwing from the games, and Bruce from the games.Think Beyond suit mixed with Hellfire mixed with Batman’s suit from Arkham Knight. It’s armored with a big red Bat logo. Batman’s eyes are red instead of white. The cape is metallic. It’s sick as f*ck."

Finally, the poster mentioned that the game would work as a direct sequel to Arkham Knight, the final game in the series by Rocksteady, but also as a soft reboot for the series.

Next: WB Montreal's Suicide Squad Game Canceled?

I’m all for the updated premise, but I literally would be more interested in a game about any Bat-family member besides Damian Wayne. Give me Nightwing, Red Robin (Tim Drake), Batwoman, Batgirl, hell give me Alfred and have me manage Wayne Manor. I really think they’ve pushed the Arkham concept and themes as far as that can go. So unless the game is drastically different, I’m not sure I’m interested in a 5th Arkham game where the gameplay is still basically the same, especially from the developer that made the weakest entry in the franchise thus far…
