Though it started out as a simple comic book, it didn’t take long for Batman to make its way onto countless gaming consoles, with Warner Bros. Entertainment and Rocksteady creating a trilogy of games that captured the imagination of fans everywhere. It began with Rocksteady’s first title, Batman: Arkham Asylum in 2009 and was followed up by Batman: Arkham City and Batman: Arkham Knight.
While the series wasn’t without its issues, it’s clear that Warner Bros. Entertainment made a good choice when they selected Rocksteady to develop the trilogy. Given Rocksteady’s lack of experience at the time, it was certainly a risk, but if the sales and reaction teach other companies anything, it’s that you should trust in a developer because of their skills and forget about their experience.
It’s hard to believe that a leak like this wasn’t intentional given the quick response by Rocksteady. It appears as though they had planned to release information on the topic before it was ever posted, but didn’t get the chance to before information on the game quickly spread.
Given the success that remastered editions have had thanks to early leaks lately, it makes sense that a company like Rocksteady would do so to drum up more support for the collector’s edition.
