Think of this: WB Games Montreal has been throwing around teasers for its upcoming Batman game for almost a year. While that sinks in, let's take a look at the developer's latest attempt to get everyone hyped. There are a couple of things worth noting. The first takes the form of a cryptic tweet, along with a video that flashes some symbols for a split second:
Secondly is a new teaser website. Once it loads up, a message reads "We have been expecting you", followed by what seems to be a date: 8/18. That's tomorrow, in other words -- should we expect some sort of update within the next 24 hours?
Either way, we should know much more about this new Batman title by the end of the week. WB Montreal will be presenting during the DC FanDome event on the weekend, and that will almost certainly be the full unveiling of the game.
Are you keen to finally see this Batman game? What do you make of these latest teasers? Use detective mode in the comments section below.

Excited for this. Really hoping they can make it as smooth as insomniac did with spiderman. Also, please, no more batmobile!
Will it be an Arkham game?
Did it on the Fortnite Joker article, but calling it now. The reveal is that a Batman game's coming out for the holidays, hence the Joker tie-in. Just seems super random to just go, "And we're bringing Joker to Fortnite in November for no reason!"
I imagine that tomorrow we're probably getting a teaser a la Arkham Origins that will end with "Tune in to DC FanDome August 22nd for a full gameplay reveal" and no platforms announced
@Brydontk Agreed, Fortnite usually does in-game event skins coinciding with other releases
@TheFrenchiestFry Pretty sure it's coming to current and next-gen consoles and PC.
@scottdevine48 If reports are to be believed this won't be connected to Arkham at all. Likely a reboot game
I'm a big fan of both Arkham City and Knight (missed the boat on Asylum) but didn't bother with Origins. This game is from the same developers as the latter game so I'd be a lot more hyped if Rocksteady were involved.
Still, new Bat news is welcome news so hopefully all will soon be revealed!
Hoping for PS5/XSX only - no current gen, please! I know it’s a long shot...
I'm hyped for a new Batman! Also I never played origins so I wouldn't say no to a remaster.
@LN78 Yes! Great game, but I only completed the story once for the exhaustive amount of Riddler trophies you had to find/decipher. Never again.
So tomorrow we can look forward to another cryptic tease? Then on Saturday, we get slideshow presentation with text and a 30-second teaser trailer with symbols and a title, right? They need to fire their advertising team. So sick of the teases.
@TheFrenchiestFry oh right. I’m hoping for Injustice 3 alongside that.
Court of Owls.
They literally best be saying "available now" after they have done this show.
@Kidfried Indeed, and the symbol that flashes has 3 owls in it.
Everyone just assuming it's Batman when https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1219342/ exists. Owls, Snyder, Warner Bros 🤔
Is this the game's loading screen icon?
Glad the WB games division isnt being sold, as it is they have a really good track record for high quality games, can't believe they would even consider selling what is essentially a cash cow to pay off such a small fraction of debt
There is a countdown on there as well, expires 16:00 today
I thought that was that suicide squad game? Which I'm not interested in at all, but if there still is a Batman one coming, awesome!
Personal wishlist: As much "real", dark, gothic and gritty as possible without "sci-fi" gagdets etc. But that is too much of a dream in our world probably
Personally I liked Arkham Origins a lot and would like a PS4 (5?) remaster. But assuming this is a new Batman game involving the court of owls I hope WB Montreal have changed the graphical style, Arkham games are great but that big chunky muscle style should be updated to something cooler and sleeker looking. This applies to the Rocksteady Suicide Squad game as well.
Interesting article in the Guardian today about Rocksteady failing to address harassment claims at the studio for over two years. Seems a bit too coincidental this story going out today given expectations for this weekend.
This isn't a comment on the validity of the claims btw, just that its timing adds additional weight to the likelihood of a reveal.
Edit: I know this Batman isn't a Rocksteady game, but still suspect the timing of the two are linked somehow.
Nothing announced today?
@Artelous We should be getting both a Batman: Court of Owls game (WB Montreal, they made Arkham Origins) and the Suicide Squad game (Rocksteady, they worked on Arkham Asylum, City, and Knight).
