It seems the video game world may be mimicking the movie world. Rumors have begun to circulate that Superman will make an appearance in
Batman: Arkham Knight (via
KDrama Stars).
There has long been a rumor that Rocksteady would like to work on another superhero game once they finished their Arkham story. Superman or the Justice League were always the likely contenders, and would likely be the properties Warner Bros. would push for given the upcoming
Batman vs. Superman film and the rumors that it will lead into a Justice League film franchise.
We know that
Batman: Arkham Knight will be Rocksteady’s last Arkham game. Rocksteady is also well known for dropping a ton of Easter eggs into their games. The rumor is that the Easter eggs in
Arkham Knight will include radio transmissions of news reports covering the exploits of members of the Justice League around the world, confirming their existence in the Arkham video game universe.
On top of that, it’s also rumored that Superman will make an in-person appearance. He will fly into Gotham and offer aid to Batman, which Batman will refuse. The scene sounds almost identical to the cameo appearance made by Robin in
Batman: Arkham City.
Of course, this is still all rumor. Even if it is 100 per cent true at this time, there’s still several months before
Batman: Arkham Knight’s release for Rocksteady to change their plans. As ever, nothing is confirmed until it’s confirmed.
