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 relating to a possible online game set on this 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 recreation “rooted within the Batman film” (presumably referring to the Reeves mission).
Sadly, it appears like there is not any reality to these rumors, at the very least so far as James Gunn is worried (and he would know, on condition that he is overseeing every part to do with DC’s excursions into its cinematic universe proper now).
Over on Threads, a person requested Gunn whether or not or not current rumors relating to a recreation set within the universe of The Batman had been true.
In response, Gunn stated that there was “no reality 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. Appears such as you’re out of luck.
Whereas he was at it, Gunn additionally quashed the rumor that the tune “Tubthumping” by Chumbawamba was being performed on the set of the brand new Superman film. Solution to spoil my desires, James.
It may not 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, at the very least if a current LinkedIn job posting is to be believed.
Not too long ago, senior Rocksteady methods 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 staff for an “unannounced mission” at Rocksteady, which started improvement in June.
Admittedly, that is not an excessive amount of to go on; the itemizing would not state what the mission is (naturally), and it is seemingly 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 a number of months in the past.
In the event you weren’t a giant fan of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League (and, judging by Warner Bros’ funds, not many had been), then you definately’ll in all probability wish to regulate Rocksteady’s socials within the subsequent few months. Keep tuned for extra on this.
