Batman Day 2019 has come and gone. DC Comics celebrated the holiday by revealing thecreative team for the next run of the mainBatmancomic, and Epic Games turnedFortnite’s Tilted Town into Gotham. Unfortunately absent from the event was WB Montreal, rumored to be working on aBatman Arkhamfollowup. But while an announcement wasn’t forthcoming, WB did eventually release what appears to be a teaser of some kind.

At regular intervals in the tweet’s video, three different images briefly flash on-screen. They’re impossible to discern at-speed, but come across clearly with frame-by-frame analysis. Even then, however, the three images aren’t immediately recognizable. They are three complex symbols and none of them are familiar, either inBatmanlore or otherwise.
However, one symbol does stand out. The symbol features a monstrous-looking head with sharp teeth and horns. While the symbol itself isn’t familiar,Batmanfans can likely make a quick association - this appears to be a Demon’s Head, one of the symbols and names ofvillain Ra’s al Ghul. And if one of these symbols represents al Ghul, the League of Shadows, or his daughter Talia, then the other symbols are likely to represent villains or villainous organizations, too. WB Montreal seems to be hinting at a villainous triumvirate for its next game.
It’s best not to read too far into WB Montreal’s teaser, however. The least that can be drawn is that WB Montreal released this tweet specifically forBatman Dayand that the teaser images imply three different people or groups. Anything further is speculation. More information will have to wait until WB Montreal is ready to share more, which could be soon or it could be a while yet. That WB Montreal is tweeting at all, however, is a positive sign.
WB Montreal’s next game has yet to be announced but is confirmed to be based on a DC property. Expect more information as WB Montreal becomes ready to share it.
