This is how Suicide squad and Gotham gentlemen It occurred: live service games were popular, so Rocksteady and WB Montreal games were recruited to make such games, despite not having real experience to do them. In the case of WB Montreal, Gentlemen It was preceded by a general desire for a live service Batman game. After Knights’ The launch and launch to rework the game was shot down, Montreal launched two separate projects based on Constantine and The Flash: the first was rejected in favor of a “more recognizable” character, hence the flash … but then it happened The 2023 film, and the rest is history.
