Though it's quite possible we should be filing this particular rumour under the "definitely isn't going to happen" category, owing to the fact the same source claimed a reveal for Superman would happen at E3, plans change all the time. There's also the fact that, irrespective of your thoughts on multiplayer, a co-op style Justice League game makes plenty of sense.

Logistically speaking, yes, making the leap from Batman to the entire Justice League is pretty huge. That said, it's not as though Rocksteady don't have it in their locker to make such a title work, and with Warner Bros. obviously aware of the advancing development of Square Enix's Avengers Project, despite the fact they've been building their games universe for a while now, they're likely to want to compete on that front.

Justice League also presents an infinitely less controversial option than Suicide Squad, which, along with the fact the film's now two years old, presents a far less interesting dynamic than DC's premier superhero team. Justice League is also DC's biggest ensemble property, and though they didn't quite manage to make the magic work on the big-screen, in the comics and in video games, the group's reverence goes without saying.

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.
