James Gunn Hints At More DC Games In The Batman Arkham Universe

thegamer.com:

James Gunn isn't ruling out more games in the Batman Arkham universe. This comes after some fans feared that after Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League future DC games would be centred around the films, not the long-running gaming series developed by Rocksteady.

Speaking on Threads, Gunn reassures fans that there are no plans to make Kill the Justice League the final game in the Arkhamverse, and personally hopes more are on the way. This indicates that, unlike other areas of DC's strategy, gaming might remain relatively untouched, continuing as normal.

The comment that's being shared around right would have come from Gunn's Threads account, and while the original question is still there, Gunn's reply isn't. We can't confirm that the screenshot is legitimate, but it does line up with another comment Gunn made to the same effect - one that's still live at the time of publication.

Asked if DC games will instead be based on the cinematic universe after Kill the Justice League, Gunn responds: "No way! I personally can’t wait for the game and hopefully more. I’m a fan!"

While this will likely come as a relief to many, the Arkhamverse has come under fire over the past year. First of all, there's Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, which many were disappointed to discover will require a constant internet connection to play. Following backlash to the gameplay reveal too, it was hit with a nine-month delay, now set to launch on February 2, 2024.

Then, we turn to the games that kicked it all off: the Batman Arkham series. These recently got a Switch release, packaged in the Batman: Arkham Collection. Reviews for this are mixed, mainly due to the quality of the ports. Some have even gone as far as to call the re-releases
