Cancelled Batman Game Featuring Damian Wayne Character Designs Surface Showing Off an Older Bruce Wayne, Killer Croc and More
[summaraize]
Earlier this year, Warner Bros. announced it was cancelling the previously announced Wonder Woman game, much to the dismay of DC fans worldwide. It’s not just a Wonder Woman game that was cancelled; the publisher has also previously cancelled a Batman game featuring Damian Wayne in the cape and cowl.
Although never officially announced, its existence was leaked a few years ago, and it was codenamed “Project Sabbath.” It was planned to be a game set 10 years after the events of Batman: Arkham Knight, and featured Bruce Wayne’s son as taking on the mantle of the Bat.
Batman Game From WB Montreal Featuring Damian Wayne as the Protagonist Would Have Given Us an Old Bruce Wayne
The new concept art comes from former Warner Bros. Montreal Principal Artist Rodrigue Pralier (thanks, Batman Arkham Videos), who has shared images of not only Damian Wayne, but also an old Bruce Wayne. We also see concept art for Killer Croc and the Huntress, which takes a different direction from what we’re accustomed to seeing in the Arkham universe of games in terms of art style.
The leaked info mentions Project Sabbath was the fifth entry in the Arkhamverse series, and would serve as a sequel to Batman: Arkham Knight. It was said to be set 10 years after the events of Rocksteady’s last mainline Batman Arkham game, and seemed to be inspired by Batman Beyond as well.
While Warner Bros. hasn’t announced a new Batman game yet, the company has said they are focusing on Batman, Harry Potter and other “core franchises” for games moving forward.
A rumor that surfaced earlier this year mentioned that Rocksteady is once again working a new single-player Batman game after the massive disaster that was Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Even if the studios is doing that, it doesn’t necessarily mean Damian Wayne will take on the role of the Batman. Chances are, whatever assets and ideas WB Games Montreal had for Project Sabbath is tucked away, with Rocksteady and Warner Bros. starting fresh.
