Batman Arkham game series will return, confirms DC boss

First released back in 2009, the Batman: Arkham game series is reportedly continuing after DC boss James Gunn recently hinted at a future for the franchise.

With Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League set to launch in February 2024, many fans feared this would mark the end of games in the Batman Arkham universe. This would be unsurprising considering the series came under fire this year due to the Suicide Squad title being hit with a nine-month delay and the news that it would require a constant internet connection.

Despite a rocky year, fans were still eager for news on the future of the Arkham universe and luckily, Gunn has them covered.

Speaking on Threads, Gunn reveals that there are no plans for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League to be the last instalment in the Batman Arkham universe. This is also reassuring as it shows that the DC games will not feature around its movie counterpart but rather continue on in the long-running Rocksteady franchise.

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!"

Despite the Batman Arkham series recently having a less-than-successful launch on the Nintendo Switch, fans are still eager to see more from the series. Luckily for them, the future seems bright for the franchise.
