Batman: Arkham - Everything You Need To Know About The Court Of Owls

1. Scott Snyder May Be Involved In The Next Arkham Game

Just as Rocksteady took on Paul Dini to helm the story for both Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, might it be possible that WB Montreal have done the same with a different writer for their next project?

Arkham Origins still boasts the series' best story, which was written by Corey May, Dooma Wendschuh and Ryan Galletta, but it's unlikely all three will return for a follow up. However, with the Court set to take a key role in the next game, it may just be the case that Montreal take a leaf out of Rocksteady's book, and recruit someone more familiar with the source material to helm their next story.

Although Montreal's devs had previously spilled the beans that the next Arkham game would feature the Court months ago, Scott Snyder followed up the studio's Batman Day tease with a now deleted tweet of his own, capped off with the not so subtle hashtag, "#bewarethecourtofowls".

This, after retweeting an IGN write-up based on the studio's aforementioned tease.

It's common courtesy to keep a comic creator in the loop when you're using their creation in a different medium, but one does wonder if Snyder has been consulting on the next Arkham game's story too. It would certainly lend another level of authenticity to the title, and it's nothing less than what the creator deserves after leaving such a sizeable impact on Batman this last decade.

Either way, expect an announcement soon - if not at New York Comic Con, then certainly before the end of the year.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
