WB Games Montréal, the developer of Gotham Knights, has confirmed that the open-world superhero title will see Batman's villains react to his death. The upcoming adventure will see Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl and Red Hood join forces to defend Gotham City after the Dark Knight's untimely demise. While many fans find it hard to believe that Batman is really dead in Gotham Knights, the game will reportedly explore what the Caped Crusader's rogues become without their worst enemy.
Gotham Knights will feature a brand-new version of Gotham crafted by WB Games Montréal, the studio that created 2013's Batman: Arkham Origins. Players will be free to choose between the game's four playable heroes, with each possessing their own strengths and combat abilities. Red Hood will wield dual pistols and supernatural powers, for example, while Nightwing will focus on acrobatic melee combat and traverse with his glider the Flying Trapeze. Gotham Knights will also feature a wide range of villains like Mr. Freeze, the Penguin and the mysterious Court of Owls. While developers recently confirmed that Gotham Knights won't feature Joker, other iconic Batman foes will reportedly weigh in on the hero's death.
