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 the 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 website referred to as Puck, which alleged that Warner Bros is presently engaged on a recreation “rooted within the Batman film” (presumably referring to the Reeves mission).
Sadly, it appears like there is not any fact to these rumors, a minimum of so far as James Gunn is anxious (and he would know, provided that he is overseeing all the things 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 relating to a recreation set within the universe of The Batman had been true.
In response, Gunn mentioned that there was “no fact to this in any way”, 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. Strategy to spoil my goals, 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, a minimum of if a current LinkedIn job posting is to be believed.
Lately, 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 presently engaged on the tech workforce for an “unannounced mission” at Rocksteady, which started growth in June.
Admittedly, that is not an excessive amount of to go on; the itemizing does not state what the mission is (naturally), and it is doubtless that it is within the very early levels of growth 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.
Should you weren’t an enormous fan of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League (and, judging by Warner Bros’ funds, not many had been), then you definitely’ll in all probability wish to keep watch over Rocksteady’s socials within the subsequent few months. Keep tuned for extra on this.
