Batman: Arkham’s next mission is only in virtual reality

The Arkham series of Batman video games is among the best versions of the Dark Knight. Returning to Rocksteady Games’ Batman: Arkham Asylym from 2009, the series charts the descent of the Joker and Batman’s relationship from the confines of Arkham Asylum to the sprawling streets of Gotham in the final shots of the game.

The Arkham Shadow announcement trailer contains many visual clues, such as an avalanche of rodents and a particular mask in the gutter.

This would point to a Batman villain synonymous with the vermin that stalk the streets and cells of Blackgate Prison. Otis Flaannegan, the Rat Catcher. Going back to the Arkham Trilogy you can solve the riddle: «The Rat Catcher needed more than his charm to lead his army» by finding Flanegan’s mask and gloves in a ventilation shaft.

«He is capable of causing both damage inside and outside the prison, using his loyal pets to transmit messages and transport materials within the maze of ventilation shafts that wind throughout the giant prison,» say the case notes, which can be found found in the original Arkham. game.

Nothing official has been released about the villain, other than the video announcement featuring the caped crusader navigating the night air in first-person view.

Batman: Arkham VR, released in 2017, was the previous virtual reality version of Bruce Wayne’s vigilante character, so this is our first return to this setting in some time.

It remains to be seen if Ratcatcher will be the game’s villain protagonist, but all clues point to a battle with the rodents in the gloomy night of Gotham in virtual reality through Meta Quest 3.

Warner Bros. hopes this version of the DC universe will be better received after the roaring garbage fire that was Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. As we reported, the game forced Sony to issue refunds for the supposed AAA title.
