Now we don’t know much about the game at the time of writing, apart from it’ll let us literally BE the Batman as we prowl the streets of Gotham and probably beat some poor goons senseless.
Now why are the rats important? Well for those who watched James Gunn’sThe Suicide Squadwill know, there’s a villain in DC called Ratcatcher, and he’s usually a villain found in Batman’s rogue gallery.
Ratcatcher hasn’t appeared in the Arkhamverse so far, though it’s not a stretch of the imagination to believe he’ll be the main antagonist of Batman: Arkham Shadow.

Where the game falls in the timeline is another unanswered question, as following the events ofBatman: Arkham Knightit’s believed the world’s greatest detective went underground, before eventually reemerging to join the Justice League for theSuicide Squadgame.
Batman: Arkham Shadow’srelease date is currently unknown, though it’s likely we’ll hear more about the game, and hopefully see a full-on gameplay showcase, sometime later this year.
Hopefully this also leads to another Batman: Arkham game on consoles as well, especially after the Dark Knight’s bleak send-off in theSuicide Squadgame.
