[Rumor] Batman: Arkham Asylum Is Getting A Remake

As a seasoned gamer with memories of playing Batman: Arkham Asylum since its release back in 2009, hearing rumors of a potential remake has left me scratching my head. While I can’t deny the nostalgia that comes with revisiting this iconic game, I believe that what the franchise truly needs is a fresh take rather than rehashing an old classic.

                                                                           Story Highlights

• Batman: Arkham Asylum is one of the most iconic superhero games that came out more than a decade ago.
• According to a new rumor, the title has been internally greenlit for a remake in modern-day fashion. 
• The decision, if true, seems kind of odd, since a new iteration in the franchise is more needed than a remake. 

Regarding the Batman: Arkham series, it seems Warner Bros. Games hasn’t fully lived up to its potential for quite some time. Initially, we had high hopes that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League would bring about a positive change, but unfortunately, those expectations have not been met as we approach several months since the game’s release in its live service model.

It appears that a fresh gossip making waves on the internet suggests Warner Bros. Games might be rethinking their strategy. As reported by Vara Dark, a well-known gaming streamer, there are whispers that Warner Bros. intends to remake Batman: Arkham Asylum. This potential project would feature voice actors from Batman: Arkham Origins, where Roger Craig Smith provided the voice for both Batman and Bruce Wayne.

In the original Asylum title, the late Kevin Conroy took on the mantle of The Caped Crusader.

Warner Bros. has shared their plans for focusing on certain franchises, and among them is DC, particularly Batman. The same sources who accurately predicted layoffs in advance are now reporting that an Arkham Asylum remake has been internally approved by Warner Bros., and they may continue the Arkhamverse with the original voice cast from Arkham Origins.

Note: This rumor is just that—a rumor. Do take it with a pinch of salt, because Vara Dark has cited an anonymous source for the claim in question.

WB Games’ Recent Investors Call Houses An Interesting Statement

It’s quite coincidental, as if by fate, that the timing appears so perfect because only a couple of days ago, David Zaslav, CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, announced the company’s intention to focus on its main franchises such as Hogwarts Legacy, Batman, Game of Thrones, and Mortal Kombat.

As a devoted fan, I’m excited to share that despite some tough times in the gaming industry, we’ve got four outstanding games with passionate communities behind them. Our primary focus moving forward will be on these four games, aiming to deliver an exceptional experience for all of us fans.

I hold a multitude of cherished recollections regarding Batman: Arkham Asylum, which was initially released in August 2009. This game undeniably ranks among the best superhero games ever produced, and it birthed a series of equally impressive titles that continue to resonate today, even though they were launched approximately ten years ago.

Instead of a remake, I believe another installment similar to Batman: Arkham Knight would be more beneficial for this series. To clarify, Batman: Arkham Asylum remains a strong title with an engaging storyline, impressive combat mechanics, and decent visuals that have held up well over time. I’m uncertain what parts of the game could greatly improve through remaking.

Currently, we can experiment with various ideas since it’s important that the project remains new and innovative. The Batman: Arkham series has been following a consistent format for quite some time now.
