While we're all waiting for Rocksteady's non-Superman video game (huhu), it looks like Batman: Arkham fans have something to look forward to in the future. Valerie Vezina, an assistant producer for Warner Bros. Montreal, went to Twitter and teased the company working on a new game while wearing a Court of Owls shirt. This is huge since Warner Bros. Montreal made Arkham Origins and may have just teased a Court of Owls video game.
Rumors of a new Batman: Arkham game has been running rampant for a long time now, even with Rocksteady announcing that Arkham Knight was their last game in the series. Since Warner Bros. does own the rights to the title, a new game from Warner Bros. Montreal isn't too surprising. What is surprising is the fact that the Court of Owls might be the main villains.
For the uninitiated, the Court of Owls is a centuries-old group of villains who have been responsible for some of the crazier happenings in Gotham City. One of the group's leader is also a man who is claiming to be Bruce Wayne's brother since the New 52 run of Batman confirmed that Martha Wayne was pregnant sometime after Bruce was born but supposedly miscarried. Introduced during the first New 52 arc from Scott Snyder, the Court of Owls storyline propelled the writer and artist Greg Capullo to comic book superstardom.
Since the teaser comes from someone in Warner Bros. Montreal, this all but confirms a new Batman: Arkham game is on the horizon. While some might balk at the fact that they made Arkham Origins, even the game's harshest critics can admit that it was a solid game, it just wasn't very original.
No release date for Batman: Court of Owls has been released. Fans interested in the group can pick up Batman: The Court of Owls Saga on comic book stores, which collects the first 11 issues of Batman during the New 52.
