The news came after one fan wrote:

“Hey James, will the Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League be the final game for the Arkham universe?”

To which Gunn replied:

“No plans of it being the last!”

Although Gunn’s reply has since been seemingly deleted, sources claim it is legit and it would also corroborate a previous statement made by the DC boss.

Again posted to Threads, Gunn was asked if DC games will continue to be based on the movies after the launch of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. He replied: "No way! I personally can’t wait for the game and hopefully more. I’m a fan!"

“Batman Arkham game series might return” and “final game in the Arkham universe” are two entirely different things

 

[rhodesianshepard]

James Gunn shouldn't be making video game decisions. Makes me think they are going to attempt to bridge the gap between movies and games, which would be dumb af

 

[VulcanRaven]

It should have come back years ago.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Great. In the meantime port/patch them to current gen consoles at 4K/60.

Including Origins.

if I was in charge, rocksteady would already be working on an "Arkham" game entirely set in the animated series universe and storylines

The rocksteady that made the Arkham games doesn’t exist anymore.

They should have never let Rocksteady pull that bullshit in Arkham Knight. They basically salted the earth on their way out. Warner are idiots.

Yesssss

I'm not sure, Rocksteady made 3 very good Batman games, it's fine.

But either way, Rocksteady probably changed a lot since Arkham Knight and not for the better. Founders left i think, probably other people in lead positions. I might be pessimistic but they are as good as dead at this point. The studio we knew off i mean. Perhaps they will make good games again but we're not talking about the same thing.

You know what I’d really like?….. a batman collection made up of all the old 8bit and 16bit games. Similar to that turtles cowabunga collection. It would include all the NES, master system, PC engine, mega drive, snes, Amiga, mega CD and I’m sure there was a Batman arcade or two Game back in the day.


Put the lot in one collection and I’m in!

 

[analog_future]

So we're going to see a new Arkham game in... 2030?

yay? I guess

This or something like this:

 

[Fake]

Taking by the SS story, will be.

 

[SJRB]

Could very well be Rocksteady’s last game though considering they spent, what.. seven years on this thing and it has all the writings of a bomb of thermonuclear proportions.

 

[Kuranghi]

Leave me alone! I'm going away to play Arkham Knight for the 30th time now...

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Gunn shouldn't be involved with these decisions, so it sounds like he's just speculating/assuming.

noooo people are really upset about the leaks, everyone is clamoring to know what happens between the "shoot at purple blobs" bits

 

[Trilobit]

This or something like this:

I think they should put the Arkham series to rest and develop a game more in style with Tim Burton era Batman. Give me the super gothic environments and the wintery atmosphere of the movies. Or else the wonderfully dark art style of 90s TAS complete with an abundance of art deco.

 

[kyussman]

Does anyone here consider this Suicide Squad game to be a part of the Arkham series......no,neither do I,lol.

 

[Saber]

Hard to buy that after reading the story leaks, if that can be even called story. More like a fanfiction lol

 

[Danjin44]

 

[Alexios]

Cos it's not even an Arkham series game?

 

[Werewolf Jones]

No Kevin Conroy? I'd give it up or move away from Batman.

 

[arkhamguy123]

Remember when James Gunn hyped up Ben Affleck as some sort of architect of his new universe who is just dying to direct only for Affleck to come out later and basically say “lol no fucking chance”?

James Gunn just says stuff. If he’s that off on his own movie verse we really think he’s dead on with gaming? We’ll probably have a new DC head in like 2-3 years honestly

 

[NeonGhost]

They should have made a sequel to origins about Batman locking villains in Arkham for the first time

 

[xrnzaaas]

This turd shouldn't be a part of the Arkham universe.

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

Even if they make a new Batman Arkham game, we won't see it for years because they wasted so much time on suicide squad.

 

[Salz01]

I want a new Batman game. Please.

 

[Torrent of Pork]

Yay, more capeshit!
