If you’re looking for the continuation of the story established in Batman: Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, and Arkham Knight, it’s not in the upcoming WB Montreal game starring the Bat-family that more closely resembles those titles. As we learned at DC FanDome, it’s Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League that is a continuation of the Arkhamverse.

As revealed during the Suicide Squad game’s panel, Kill the Justice League continues the narrative established in the previous Rocksteady Arkham games. Some of the narrative threads established in that trilogy will be picked up here, although specifics weren’t shared. We do know the game tells an original story where they’re apparently tasked with taking down the Justice League, including Superman.

On the other hand, Gotham Knights will not be–WB Games Montreal told ComicBook, “Gotham Knights is an original story set in DC’s Batman Universe and not connected to the Arkham series.”

After a long wait, Rocksteady has finally revealed its next game with an in-depth look at DC Fandome, titled Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. The studio had announced its Suicide Squad game with the promise of more details to come and a teaser image of a target over Superman’s head. The teaser-trailer expanded on that concept and announced a release date of 2022 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X.

The debut trailer shown during DC Fandome featured several members of the squad goofing off and then reluctantly springing into action against enemy forces. It ended with Superman showing up and apparently killing a civilian, as the Suicide Squad realized they would have to take down the hero.

A follow-up with host Will Arnett suggested the four main characters will be Harley Quinn, Deadshot, King Shark, and Captain Boomerang, tasked with defeating the Justice League. It’s 1-4 player co-op with all four characters represented, though you can play single-player and have your companions played by AI and switch between them.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League may focus on Task Force X taking down the beloved superhero team, and the universe the game takes place in is actually one that will be familiar to fans of developer Rocksteady Studios.

Speaking during DC FanDome, Rocksteady Studios’ Sefton Hill confirmed Suicide Squad is a “continuation of the Arkhamverse” that began in Batman: Arkham Asylum and came to its seeming end in Batman: Arkham Knight. Hill explained that Suicide Squad is part of this world and will actually let players see the continuation of plot threads and characters first introduced in those Arkham games.

“This is a continuation of the Arkhamverse, so a lot of the threads and storylines you’re going to see come to fruition in this game,” Hill said.

This also means that Suicide Squad will not be in the same universe as WB Games Montreal’s upcoming Gotham Knights, which focuses on the extended Bat-family of heroes in a new continuity.

Each member of the squad will have moves and abilities unique and specific to themselves, along with a slew of customizable weapons, all while trying to bring down the Justice League – including the all powerful, otherworldly Superman.

Rocksteady also revealed the game will allow single player or grouping up with friends to play 1 to 4 player co-op, all while swapping between characters at any moment.

The game will be released in 2022 on Xbox Series X, PS5, and PC.

Well, this certainly isn’t like any other live-action Batman movie we’ve seen. The first trailer for The Batman was revealed at the DC FanDome virtual convention, giving us a much better look at Robert Pattinson as the Caped Crusader, as well as an idea of who the primary villain is.

We already know that Selina Kyle (Zoe Kravitz), Oswald Cobblepot (Colin Farrell), and Riddler (Paul Dano) will figure into the movie. However, based on this first trailer, it looks like Riddler will be getting the most screentime of the three. In the two-minute clip, it’s shown that Riddler is leaving a trail of bodies with notes and coded messages to Batman, indicating the villain is obsessed with him. The Riddler also seems to be painting Batman as a “liar” and seeking to expose him.

It’s refreshing to see the trailer center so heavily on Riddler and that this portrayal is being taken in a much different direction than the only other big-screen Riddler fans have seen (Jim Carrey’s in Batman Forever). This take on the character is dark, demented, and murderous.

A new official trailer for Wonder Woman 1984 premiered at DC FanDome, giving us a final look at Cheetah. Let’s break down the latest trailer scene by scene.

WB Games Montreal has finally revealed its long-rumored Batman project at DC Fandome, after months of teasers and rumors. As the rumors suggested, the game is called Gotham Knights, and features multiple playable characters from within the Bat-family. It’s coming to PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X in 2021.

The reveal trailer showed Gotham City grappling with the death of Bruce Wayne. Before he went, though, he recorded a message calling the four protagonists into action: Nightwing, Robin, Batgirl, and Red Hood. The trailer showed each of them in action, including heroes fighting together. A separate press release confirmed it can be played solo or with two-player co-op. The cinematic ended with confirmation that the story will include the Court of Owls, with an eerie recitation of the poem from the comic book arc.

The developer chat and extended gameplay demo that followed seemed to suggest some degree of a live aspect to the game, with the ability to customize your hero and enemies shown with HP, XP, and level indicators. The studio said it chose each hero with for their “unique starting point and a long runway for growth.” A press release said players can “reinvent themselves into their own version of the Dark Knight.” The demo also showed a boss battle against Mr. Freeze.

Just as expected, a new trailer for Wonder Woman 1984 has arrived during the virtual event DC FanDome. The virtual convention kicked off on Saturday with the Wonder Woman panel, which featured the stars and director of the film. It primarily consisted of a Q&A with fans, but the panel concluded with a pretty sweet new trailer for Wonder Woman 1984.

During the opening to DC FanDome director Patty Jenkins was joined by the cast: Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman), Pedro Pascal (Maxwell Lord), Chris Pine (Steve Trevor), and Kristen Wiig (Barbara Minerva/Cheetah). They answered questions from fans, including one from Lynda Carter who played Wonder Woman on the iconic 1975 TV series. The panel came to an end with a brand-new trailer for Wonder Woman: 1984, and it was awesome. We got a final look at Wiig as Cheetah.

Jenkins mentioned that the October release date is still sticking during the panel. “It’s so great on the big screen,” the director explained. “We all work so hard to bring something that would be a big, visual, spectacular, great time. So we’re going to stick it out, and we believe in you know putting it in the cinema”

Static Shock will get a new comic book series in 2021 as part of a larger revival of Milestone Comics as a DC imprint.
