DCU film head James Gunn has taken to social media to close down a rumor that is been circulating in the previous couple of days concerning a possible online game set on the earth of Matt Reeves’ 2022 film The Batman.
The rumors concerning The Batman have been handily collected in this ResetEra thread, and it appears they stem from a web site known as Puck, which alleged that Warner Bros is at the moment engaged on a recreation “rooted within the Batman film” (presumably referring to the Reeves venture).
Sadly, it appears like there is no reality to these rumors, not less than so far as James Gunn is worried (and he would know, on condition that he is overseeing all the pieces to do with DC’s excursions into its cinematic universe proper now).
Over on Threads, a consumer requested Gunn whether or not or not current rumors concerning a recreation set within the universe of The Batman have been true.
In response, Gunn mentioned that there was “no reality to this in any respect”, 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 music “Tubthumping” by Chumbawamba was being performed on the set of the brand new Superman film. Option to damage my desires, 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 current LinkedIn job posting is to be believed.
Just lately, senior Rocksteady programs programmer Tae Ho Kang added a brand new part to the “expertise” a part of his LinkedIn profile. Stated part states he is at the moment engaged on the tech workforce for an “unannounced venture” at Rocksteady, which started improvement in June.
Admittedly, that is not an excessive amount of to go on; the itemizing does not state what the venture is (naturally), and it is probably that it is within the very early levels of improvement if work on it started in June. Nonetheless, this might properly be the single-player recreation Rocksteady was apparently trying to pitch just a few months in the past.
In case you weren’t a giant fan of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League (and, judging by Warner Bros’ funds, not many have been), you then’ll most likely wish to control Rocksteady’s socials within the subsequent few months. Keep tuned for extra on this.
