General view of the atmosphere at Warner Bros.
Batman Arkham series from Warner Bros. truly brought this iconic character into the limelight in video games.
Kirshen hints that a few other characters are getting games in the interview, which will only add fuel to the fire when it comes to speculation that Rocksteady is hard at work on a Superman game. Games Montréal, who made Batman: Arkham Origins, are working on a Suicide Squad game. But the point is, we will once again see Batman…even if it might be a very different production than anything we’ve seen in the stellar Arkham series.
Batman has also appeared in the LEGO series, as well as beat-em-ups like Injustice: Gods Among Us.
That’s not to say the Dark Knight is Warner Bros.’ sole focus, however.
“You have to understand and respect the core essence of the franchise”, Kirshen said. But you can’t be a slave to every single aspect of its history or continuity in translating it for the gaming medium.
“More importantly, you have to have the talent, vision, and passion from the development teams to make great games and treat them as they would an original IP”, he added. “We’ve been blessed at WBIE with studios and talent such as Rocksteady, NetherRealm, and TT Games”, he said.
Many fans believe that it’s impossible to convey the nearly invincible power of the character using traditional video game mechanics.
