That is a hard pass for me. I don't want the games to be tied down to the continuity of the movies. I want the games to be their own thing.

This is an L tbh. Games or movies being bound by a preset of rules and lore doesn’t always bode well.

Not a fan of this move. Would rather let developers have the freedom to tell their stories without having to worry about integrating them into the dcu

I don't agree with this idea let the DC video game universe has his own stories in it own universe not connected with the movies and TV shows

Honestly sounds frustrating and a bit annoying. MCU doing almost too many shows that tie into movies has already shown to be too much for me at times and having 20+ hour games to know the full story sounds awful. Not to mention, inaccessible to many.

People have stated their feelings vocally, many are very critical of this decision while some are optimistic. People are worried about the legacy of DC games left by the likes of Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, and Arkham Knight. Those games developed by Rocksteady really put superhero games on the map.

Even the combat system of the Arkham series was a phenomenon, they named it the free-flow system, and it was taken as inspiration by a number of developers for their own games, such as Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor its sequel Shadow of War, and Sleeping Dogs.
WB and DC released a game called Gotham Knights, which was developed without any input from Rocksteady. The game was met with mixed to negative responses from players and critics. According to some players, the game had a slow and repetitive combat system full of bugs and glitches.
