The comic series lays the foundations for the events of the game, and examines how the four heroes – – got into the situation they’re in at the start of the WB Games Montreal-produced title. Per the blurb, a virus has infected Gotham City, transforming citizens into rage-obsessed maniacs (thanks, Popverse). Unlike the game, Batman is in this comic, so it stands to reason that we’ll see the events that lead to his death in the six-issue run. We’ll also get to see what goes off in Batman’s home town some 100+ years previous – there’s a thread in the comics that follows Gotham in the 1800s, and focuses on the exploits of masked vigilante, The Runaway. You can head over to Popverse to see an preview of the first issue. Gotham Knights is currently expected to release on 25 October, 2022 for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5 and PC after suffering a delay from 2021.
