It was recently reported that a new video game set within the universe of Matt Reeves’ The Batman was potentially in the works, but that is apparently not true. James Gunn, one of the co-heads of DC Studios–AKA someone who would definitely know–debunked the rumor on social media.
He said on Threads, “Sadly there is no truth to this whatsoever.”
A report from Puck News said there could be a video game based on HBO’s Penguin TV series–which itself is set in The Batman universe–in the works. But the report had basically no information to go on. And now it turns out that it’s not true.
While no such game is in the works, DC is indeed making more video games, including Batman: Arkham Shadow for Meta Quest 3 and a new Wonder Woman game from the developers of Shadow of Mordor.
As for The Batman franchise, Robert Pattinson is suiting up once again for The Batman II, but it’s not coming anytime soon. Looking to The Penguin, the HBO series starring Colin Farrell is much closer on the horizon. It releases on September 19 and leads directly into The Batman II.
