James Gunn Says ‘The Batman’ Game Isn’t Happening

As a die-hard fan with over two decades of Batman universe immersion under my belt, I can’t help but feel a pang of disappointment upon hearing the latest revelation about the supposed Penguin game. The idea of diving deeper into the Gotham City underworld, particularly from Oswald Cobblepot’s perspective, has been tantalizing since the release of ‘The Batman.’

I’ve got some exciting news to share, fellow Batman fans! A tantalizing whisper has been circulating about an upcoming game set within the iconic Batman universe and centered around the charismatic Penguin. Apparently, the intriguing movie directed by Matt Reeves and starring Robert Pattinson as our beloved Caped Crusader is rumored to expand into a video game. However, let’s remember that these whispers are just that – whispers – until we get official confirmation from WBD.

Currently, James Gunn is making it clear on social media that these rumors are completely false.

Unreal Claims

Plans are underway to build upon the success of “The Batman” by creating a television show for HBO. However, some rumors about a possible Penguin video game have emerged, but James Gunn clarified on social media that those plans are not solidified yet, and it’s definitely not happening at this time.

On Threads, the superstar director, writer, and co-chief of DC Studios wrote:

Sadly there is no truth to this whatsoever.

The line indicates that he’d like for it to be real, but it simply isn’t. With James Gunn being perfectly placed to know what’s going on regarding the franchise, it’s definitive enough for this rumour to be completely discredited.

If you’re feeling down about this news, consider giving Batman: Arkham Shadow a try when it arrives on Meta Quest 3 later this year. It might help bridge the gap until the next Batman game eventually comes out, but unfortunately, there won’t be another one.
