The Arkhamverse Batman is back! Happy days, though it’s a shame he had to return in such an abysmal fashion.
Last year, Rocksteady Studios did the unthinkable and released a bad game. Perhaps I’m treating it too harshly but Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League simply wasn’t the continuation the Arkhamverse deserved or needed.

In the build-up to the game’s launch, it was made painfully clear that it wasn’t going to be a happy tale, and that we really were going to kill the Justice League as they’d gone rogue and were destroying the planet.
A standout part of the campaign for many was when Harley Quinn put the legendary Arkhamverse Batman down like an animal on a park bench in Metropolis, with extra salt rubbed into the wound as it was believed to be the last portrayal of the character by the late Kevin Conroy.
Fear not though, as a new update for the game has revealed Batman is alive and well, and that the version we killed in the story, along with the other Justice League members, were actually just clones.
This was revealed a few seasons ago but it’s all out in the open now as the game’s story has officially concluded, in the form of comic panels…
That’s right the story goes that the real Justice League broke free, stopped Brainiac and got to work fixing the multiverse, except Wonder Woman, she’s still dead.
It’s a lacklustre ending and one that many fans have vocally slated online, believing it just makes the entire game pointless and doesn’t lead to any meaningful developments.
Who knows what the future of the Arkhamverse entails, but it seems like the best thing to hope for now is some sort of reboot set on a different Earth.
