Set in a world in which Bruce Wayne has presumably died and Batman has destroyed the cave, the game allows players to play as Nightwing, Robin, Batgirl and Red Hood as the Bat-Family seeks to protect Gotham City in The Dark Knight’s absence.
In a panel hosted exclusively by Shazam!‘s Zachary Levi, WB Games made the announcement through the unveiling of the game’s first trailer – which you can watch below:
