Batman will permanently die in Gotham Knights, developers confirmed

Fans of the DC universe believed that the writers of the new game would frame the demise of the billionaire in latex as a clever trick of his, but no

Speaking with comic book fans at Comic-Con 2022, Gotham Knights creative director Patrick Redding spoke about Batman’s role in the game. In short: he will die, and for good.

According to Redding, the billionaire who dons a latex bat suit to inflict pain on villains at night will die in the first 10 minutes of the game and will not appear again. He will not fake his death to control other heroes from the shadows and assist them in every way, but will simply pass away. And at the end of the game, he will also remain dead. 

Mr. Redding also confirmed that the Joker will not be in the game, but Harley Quinn might well appear.

Gotham Knights will be released on October 25 on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
