The Joker Will Not Be Coming to Gotham Knights, Says Creative Director 

The developers for Gotham Knights have been rolling out updates on its heroes, but fans are excited to see more of the villains. So far, five antagonists are known– The Court of Owls, their talons, Penguin, and Mr. Freeze. 

Gotham Knights creative director Patrick Redding confirmed that The Joker would not be featured in the game.  

Redding was a part of a panel discussion at the San Diego Comic-Con 2022. During a Q&A session, a fan asked if The Joker was included in the Gotham Knights game, to which Redding answered no. There was no further explanation on why the sadistic villain is MIA.  

He also hinted at a surprise cameo, saying,

I will not confirm or deny whether Harley is.

Harley Quinn is one of the most recurring characters in WB Montreal’s DC video games.  

The director also informed that Batman dies within the first ten minutes of the game and there is exactly one Riddler question mark in the entire game.  

The panel introduced four heroes– Batgirl/Barbara Gordon, Nightwing/Dick Grayson, Red Hood/Jason Todd, and Robin/Tim Drake, with their script and cinematics, as players can choose at different intervals. 

A new trailer featuring the gameplay of Batgirl was also shown at the event.  

Batgirl is Gotham City’s protector, and it is her mission to serve its people. She aims to be their symbol of faith and hope.  

The trailers for Robin and Nightwing were released a while back. WB Montreal decided against launching the RPG game for PS4 and Xbox One. 

Gotham Knights will be available on October 25, 2022, for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
