July 11, 2012: Justice League to Join Batman in Next "Arkham" Video Game
Variety.com reports that Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment is looking to include other DC Universe characters in the next installment of Rocksteady Studio's video games that so far include "Batman: Arkham Asylum" and "Batman: Arkham City".
- New, highly stylized title is being developed as a prequel that revolves around Batman's first meeting with the Joker. It's based on the Silver Age of DC's comicbooks from the 1950s when the Caped Crusader teamed with other heroes like Superman and founded the Justice League of America.
New game would likely bow in 2014 at the earliest. Title was not discussed during the E3 games confab in June, with WBIE focusing on unveiling "Injustice."
