WB Games Montreal has been cryptic with its teases for the nextBatmangame, releasing black and white symbols and leaving it up to fans to decipher what they mean. The most recentBatmanimage tease is of what appears to be a police badge, with some theorizing that it represents Jim Gordon or the Gotham City Police Department in general. However, another theory is being floated around about who the badge may represent in the newBatmangame, and it has interesting implications for it if true.
The other theory is that the badge represents none other than Amanda Waller, which actually makes a lot of sense if one remembers the ending toArkham Origins, the otherBatmangame developed by WB Games Montreal. Those who have yet to playArkham Originsand don’t wantspoilersshould proceed with caution, as this article will contain spoilers for that game’s post-credits scene.

Those that completedArkham Originsand stuck around for the after credits scene will remember seeing Amanda Waller approach Deathstroke, offering him a position on her Suicide Squad team. Trophy artwork also implied that Harley Quinn was given a similar offer, though we don’t actually see that happen in-game. Since WB Games Montreal developedBatman: Arkham Originsand are apparently developing the newBatmangame, it stands to reason that Amanda Waller and her Suicide Squad may play a role.
If the Suicide Squad is featured in the newBatmangame, then one has to wonder if it will also be about the Court of Owls, as previously rumored. TheCourt of Owls storylinehas been heavily rumored for the newBatmangame for quite some time, with some teases even coming from DC comic book writers. Having both the Court of Owls and Suicide Squad in the same game seems like it would make it too busy, but then again, theBatman: Arkhamgames have thrived on villain-heavy stories.
In fact, the games have fit as manyBatmanvillains in each one as possible, even some of the Caped Crusader’s more obscure enemies. Maybe the newBatmangame will be about multiple organizations hunting down Batman, which would explain the “Capture the Knight” phrase that has been shared alongside some ofWB Games Montreal’s teaser images.
Before anyone gets too excited about the possibility that theSuicide Squadis in the newBatmangame, they should wait for an official reveal from WB Games Montreal, which should hopefully come sooner rather than later.
A newBatmangame is rumored to be in development for unspecified platforms.
