All Articles: Batman: Arkham Knight

Two years ago, WB Games Montreal studio head Martin Carrier told reporters that his team was hard at work on multiple games based on DC Comics characters. Since then, we’ve learned that WB Games Montreal was busy bringing the Bat back to his younger days for this October’s Batman: Arkham Origins. But don’t worry, Warner Bros. has plenty of other games starring DC Comics characters in the works.

Kevin Tsujihara, the CEO of Time Warner, recently gave a presentation at the Bank of America/Merrill Lynch Media, Communications, and Entertainment Conference. As he was winding up his speech, Tsujihara revealed that Time Warner’s video game arm has multiple projects in development based on DC Comics characters:

“And but we are on track to having a great year in games and we feel very good about where that’s going. And as you said it’s being driven – the new franchises that we are going to be zoning are going to be DC franchises. We think there is big opportunities to build off of what we are doing throughout the rest of the company in games as well.”

Obviously, Tsujihara didn’t reveal any specifics but Rocksteady has been awful quiet in 2013. They have to be working on something.

Riddle me this! When is “the next Arkham game” not the one scheduled to be released this October? Answer… When Kevin Conroy is discussing it at the Dallas Comic Con.

During a Q&A event at the convention this past Sunday, Conroy seemingly ended weeks of speculation by announcing that he would be appearing in “the next Arkham game.” Some people were worried that he wasn’t talking about Batman: Arkham Origins, but he reassured everyone by saying, “I can talk about it now […] It’s now been announced.” So that settled it, Conroy was Batman in Arkham Origins.

But yesterday, WB Games Montreal confirmed that Roger Craig Smith would take over the role of the Caped Crusader in Arkham Origins. Fans were understandably confused.

It’s gotten even weirder thanks to a tweet posted by Conroy (since deleted, but archived by Batman News) where he clarifies that he wasn’t referring to Arkham Origins at the Dallas Comic Con, but a different Arkham game that is coming soon.

So is this what Rocksteady’s been up to since completing Arkham City? And why would Conroy say that his Arkham game has been announced when it clearly hasn’t? Someone at WB Games must have given him the go-ahead, right? Where’s The Riddler when you need him?
