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 planet 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 web site referred to as Puck, which alleged that Warner Bros is at present engaged on a sport “rooted within the Batman film” (presumably referring to the Reeves challenge).
Sadly, it appears like there is not any fact to these rumors, not less than so far as James Gunn is anxious (and he would know, provided that he is overseeing every thing to do with DC’s excursions into its cinematic universe proper now).
Over on Threads, a person requested Gunn whether or not or not latest rumors relating to a sport set within the universe of The Batman had been true.
In response, Gunn mentioned that there was “no fact to this in anyway”, which is just about as unequivocal a denial as you may 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. Technique to wreck my goals, James.
It won’t be over for Batman followers
Whereas Gunn might need put paid to The Batman rumors, that is to not say there’s nothing within the works on this entrance, not less than if a latest LinkedIn job posting is to be believed.
Lately, senior Rocksteady techniques 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 growth in June.
Admittedly, that is not an excessive amount of to go on; the itemizing would not state what the challenge is (naturally), and it is seemingly that it is within the very early levels of growth if work on it started in June. Nonetheless, this might properly be the single-player sport Rocksteady was apparently trying to pitch a couple of months in the past.
In case 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 wish to control Rocksteady’s socials within the subsequent few months. Keep tuned for extra on this.
