Right on the heels of a new Wonder Woman trailer, DC follows up immediately with the debut trailer for the new game Gotham Knights with SHAZAM! star Zachary Levi.
The trailer starts of bleak. Batman is dead. As a result Robin, Nightwing, Red Hood, and Batgirl must take up arms to keep Gotham safe from the scourge of criminals…and even the Court of Owls!

The trailer was followed by some excellent gameplay footage of Batgirl investing an attack by Mr. Freeze with Robin. The gameplay looks crisp and every bit as visually captivating as previous entries in the Batman game lineup. Also…MULTIPLAYER!!! Oh sweet bat-Jesus! Dramatic sequences akin to Uncharted or Resident Evil are accented by combat so flawless it can only come from Batman’s team.
When Mr. Freeze himself appears, get ready for a serious heart-rate spike.

When asked what the driving forces of the game are, creators responded, “…having a whole cast of characters, a real living Gotham City, and the fantasy of the superhero team-up.”
Get ready for what will certainly be a fantastic game. Set for release sometime in 2021!
I’ve worked my whole life to become a comic book illustrator, writer, and stand-up comedian. Batman and Captain Benjamin Sisko helped put a good head on my shoulders. I spent most of my childhood saving Hyrule and the Mushroom Kingdom and seeing the Justice League save all of creation time and time again. I live in Johnson City, TN with my wife Kary and daughter Laila enjoying the beautiful mountain scenery and occasional show. Three puppies round out the family and take up the rest of the time that isn’t spent debating which Wes Anderson or Studio Ghibli movie to watch. I spend an inordinate amount of time binge watching SVU, Futurama, and Letterkenny, and when I’m not watching I’m listening to “My Brother, My Brother, and Me” or playing the occasional game of D&D. If there’s a nerdy endeavor out there, I’ve probably at least tried it.
