Batman Arkham City Joker

Warner Bros. planning an animated movie based on Batman: Arkham video game series

The Batman: Arkham series is one of the most successful in recent history. So successful, apparently, that Warner Bros. has decided it’s worth an animated movie in a new, shared DC Comics universe.

Warner Bros. is planning on creating a continuous universe between future DC movies, similar to Marvel Studios’ Cinematic Universe. “We can do original content, we can do New 52 stuff,” director Jay Oliva told The Hollywood Reporter. By original content, Oliva was referring to his next project, called Batman: Assault on Arkham, which is based on the Batman: Arkham video game series. The New 52 refers to DC Comics’ 2011 cancellation of all of its comic book series and simultaneous reboot of 52 new or existing ones.
