“This is one of our most profitable franchises.”

President of Warner Bros. Discovery David Zaslav announces at a shareholders meeting that Batman will be one of the axis of the company’s next video games.

2025 marks the tenth anniversary of Batman: Arkham Knight. game for PS4, Xbox One and PC which was even transferred to Switch and which said goodbye to the franchise on consoles.

This was Batman’s golden age.who hasn’t had much luck since then, with appearances in Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad followed by two flops.

No matter what, Batman is still too powerful a license to keep in a drawer.

Warner Bros. shares the same opinion and, apparently, is already working on a solution to this problem.

Batman will be one of Warner Bros.’ most important titles.

In a telematic shareholder meeting published by IGN, Warner Bros. President Discovery David Zaslav stated that Batman will play a crucial role in the company’s video games..

According to Zaslav, from now on Warner Bros. Games is going to focus exclusively on these licenses.leaving aside other developments.

“We’re going to focus our efforts on these four franchises. work with proven quality research to increase our success streak”– he declares.

The fact that Zaslav attaches such importance to Batman is due to strategy for returning to the origins of the sagathat’s when they achieved the greatest success (and profit, of course).

Besides the cold shoulder from Gotham Knights, The failure of Suicide Squad was a serious blow to the company’s financeswhich would have lost more than $200 million because of him.

And it seems that Zaslav is not just talking. Batman: Arkham Shadow, although exclusive to VR, managed to return the character to fame through a title with very positive reviews.

A future Batman game may be closer than it seemswith persistent rumors that Rocksteady has returned to the franchise with a PlayStation exclusive.

Added to this is the fact that Warner Bros. Montreal is also working on a DC comic.

As for other licenses that Zaslav citesHogwarts Legacy 2 is already in development, and Nexxon is currently working on a Game of Thrones MMO.
