Is Warner registering Arkham domains for the next Batman movie or video game?

Last year, Cosmic Book News reported that we could expect a new Batman film in 2016 based on the popular Batman: Arkham Asylum video game. While there hasn't been much talk about the Batman reboot since the rumors began, it appears this week that Warner Bros. is trying to secretly buy up domain names for the next Batman movie title or video game through the internet brand protection company MarkMonitor, the same company it uses for its very own warnerbros.com and for other recent movie domains like the 300 prequel. The names, all registered on January 10, 2013, revolve around 'Arkham', like ArkhamUniverse.com and BatmanArkhamArises.com, and many more.

Well that is a neat find. I hope if it is for the movie WB uses a new character. I have seen two people play Joker the same with Two Face & Catwoman. I want to see other villains like Deadshot, Lady Shiva, Black Mask, Clay Face, Killer Croc, Firefly, Mad Hatter & Hush. I love the Joker but it is time other villains get a chance to shine.

If it is for the game then there is a good chance many of the people I listed will be in the next game.

They really mean they are pivoting to slot machines on mobile devices.

I don’t think there ever was a time for GaaS. Its entire resistance is revolved around making a game that generates recurring revenue constantly throughout its lifetime. It’s straight up a corporate scumbag design.

I watched the video seeing if anything changed since the initial Suicide gameplay vid before the delay and it looks the same. So weird watching all the characters just start a gun to their back and bounce super high shooting with no kick-back animation in an empty dead world. The voice acting is cringe and there doesn’t have any sense of atmosphere or immersion like the Arkham games.

And they expect you to pay $70 to $100 for this and then pay more for Battle Passes and items to make grinding less a chore. Yea, no thank you. I hope you learn a hard lesson with this one.

so dumb haha.

Genius executives at work. "hey, what we're doing is working great. Let's change it."

LOGICWINS169d ago

"Invasions" is technically free live service game with new content every 45 days. It's the best mode MK has ever had IMO. As a single player gamer, it gives me a reason to stick around after the story mode.

garos82168d ago

You have a terrible taste in games

-Foxtrot169d ago

I feel like their whole approach relies on how the Suicide Squad sells

Oh great, looking forward to the sh*t future of gaming. Thanks industry!

New mk sold less then the last in the same time frame the NEW MK is legit a live service game with its horrible monopoly board. I just wanted a normal title...

FatalityX77169d ago

It's not on older hardware, so that's why it seems less. No ps4/xbox one versions.

Sgt_Slaughter169d ago

I doubt older hardware would make a difference, given the ratios of sales of other multi-gen games

PunksOnN4G169d ago

Nah the new MK full of live service shit even the singleplayer monopoly board they gave use instead of a normal kyrpt says enough and sales reflect that also this MK is very combo heavy it not noob friendly what's so ever like others

Flewid638168d ago

Wasn't the last one a live service game?

MehmetAlperTR168d ago

More live services.. LOL.. i hope you ll see the deep.

I'm sure R* knows the Nintendo Switch install base and probably dont really care to port over more R* games to the Nintendo Switch tho i gotta say playing GTA4 & RDR1 on the go on the Nintendo Switch would be dope

Knightofelemia654d ago

I would buy Lollipop Chainsaw, Alice Madness Returns, Enslaved, Splatter House, Brutal Legends, Dante's Inferno, and Dead Space for sure if they were ported to the Switch.

Mobis-New-Nest654d ago

Deus Ex Human Revolution would be a great title to The Holy Grail of All Consoles aka The Nintendo Switch*. Also Haze Remastered, Grand Theft Auto 4 and 5 Remastered, Silent Hill HD Collection, Max Payne 3 Remastered, Call of Duty World At War Remastered, The Orange Box Remastered, Halo Master Chief Collection, Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 Remastered, Metal Gear Solid 4 Remastered, Afro Samurai Remastered, Demons Souls Remastered, Xmen Destiny Remastered, Jack and Daxter Collection, Def Jam Icon Remake, Folklore Remastered, Spiderman Edge of Time Remastered, Persona 5 remastered, the list goes on. (*Best Selling Console of All Time)

MontyeKristo654d ago (Edited 654d ago )

Can we just get a Bully 2? 😒

iplay1up2654d ago

Seriously? Isn't it time Nintendo make a Switch successor? I mean they have the sales and money.
