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 on 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 undertaking).
Sadly, it appears to be like like there is no fact to these rumors, not less than so far as James Gunn is anxious (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 person requested Gunn whether or not or not latest rumors concerning a recreation set within the universe of The Batman have been true.
In response, Gunn mentioned that there was “no fact to this by any means”, which is just about as unequivocal a denial as you may get. That is not an exec being evasive or making imprecise 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 music “Tubthumping” by Chumbawamba was being performed on the set of the brand new Superman film. Technique to wreck 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 latest LinkedIn job posting is to be believed.
Not too long ago, senior Rocksteady programs programmer Tae Ho Kang added a brand new part to the “expertise” a part of his LinkedIn profile. Mentioned part states he is at the moment engaged on the tech crew for an “unannounced undertaking” 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 undertaking is (naturally), and it is probably that it is within the very early phases of growth if work on it started in June. Nonetheless, this might nicely be the single-player recreation Rocksteady was apparently trying to pitch just a few months in the past.
Should you weren’t an enormous fan of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League (and, judging by Warner Bros’ funds, not many have been), then you definately’ll in all probability need to keep watch over Rocksteady’s socials within the subsequent few months. Keep tuned for extra on this.
