Rocksteady Superman & Batman Arkham 2018: Everything We Know
7. Montreal AREN'T Working On Suicide Squad
Warner Bros. Montreal
Although fans had speculated that WB Games Montreal's follow up to Batman: Arkham Origins would revolve around the Suicide Squad, as was teased in the game's final cutscene, it looks as though that project is now dead in the water.
According to Kotaku, development on Suicide Squad - which was said to feature Deathstroke in the lead - ended December 2016. Development then resumed on two other Batman titles, each sporting markedly different takes on the Caped Crusader, while Rocksteady pressed ahead with their closely guarded superhero project.
What this bodes for a potential Origins sequel is anyone's guess, but it does mean that the Suicide Squad threads established in both Origins and its portable spin-off Blackgate are set to be cut loose.
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.
