Henry Cavill has left the role of Superman behind. James Gunn and his pals are now working on a whole new DC universe, and that would include video games too. Long ago when gamers and comic book fans were deprived of video games based on superheroes, Rocksteady released Batman Arkham Asylum.

The game was so good that it was an instant hit. Its gameplay was so iconic that it just created a new kind of combat system.

Rocksteady games followed Arkham Asylum with two more games and completed their trilogy back in 2015.

But the game got canceled, no one knows when and Rocksteady shifted to Suicide Squad: Kill the justice league, which then became their prime focus.
