The image that superheroes had in the video game industry before 2009 was very different from the one they have now, since when this year Batman: Arkham Asylum was released On the part of Rocksteady Studios, many were amazed by the way in which they had adapted the comic book character in this sector, which caused any superhero video game to be closely watched from that moment on.

However, despite completing the trilogy after Arkham Knight, Rocksteady has not made a Batman video game againsince the next project that Warner Bros commissioned the studio was Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, a game as a service that has done so poorly in sales that days after its launch it was reported that Marvel’s Avengers had more active players, which many took as the possibility that Rocksteady would make a Batman again.
