Happy #BatmanDay to all our fans. Tell us your favourite Batman moment and we’ll share a selection throughout the day 🦇🌃
Atop the towers, a perfect ambush point and where better for Batman to perch himself. Verticality is an important mechanic in the Arkham series, and these towers from Batman: Arkham City are just another tool for the Dark Knight to utilize.

It felt fantastic to get behind the wheel of that crazy clown car again for the 1st time since the animated series. Free from the restrictions of TV censors-we were able to explore a more complex version of the character that was more vicious & sadistic than ever before!

Early concepts for the atmosphere and environments of Arkham City
In the Venom Labs of Batman: Arkham Asylum we saw our first glimpse of the TITAN compound. These concepts show the terrifying inner levels of the lab, where experiments took place, minds were lost and a new threat for the Dark Knight was born.
From your friends and fans here at Rocksteady, congratulations to the team on the release of #GothamKnights
We can't wait to jump in and keep Gotham safe!
To all our fans, we hope you and your loved ones are all ok during the pandemic! In London the Rocksteady team are all well, and working from home. Stay tuned as we share some of our experiences while Rocksteady works remotely.

We've made the difficult decision to delay Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League to Spring 2023. I know a delay is frustrating but that time is going into making the best game we can. I look forward to bringing the chaos to Metropolis together. Thanks for your patience.
