Riddle Me This: Do WB Domains Reveal Next Batman Game’s Title?
We know that Rocksteady Studios is hard at work on a follow-up to its acclaimed Batman game, Arkham Asylum, but we don’t really have any idea what to call the thing. The game’s trailer hints at panic in the streets of Gotham, and the official URL for the game is “Arkham has moved,” so merely calling it Arkham Asylum 2 would be a bit boring, if not entirely misleading.
Now it looks like those pesky URLs might provide a glimpse of the sequel’s title. As discovered by Superannuation, WB has registered a slew of domains, covering a gamut of possible titles as well as possible plot points and ARG-type content. Stop Mayor Sharp? Could Arkham’s warden be in a position of even greater power now? Batman: Siege of Gotham sure has a nice ring to it. And People Forgot Ham? How could they? Oh wait, never mind.
Here’s the list of domains that WB Entertainment has snatched up in the past few days. Surely, they wouldn’t do something like this just to mess with us, right?
