In comics lore, the Belfry was introduced back in 2016 as a school for Batman to train superheroes while Batwoman resumed day-to-day operations. It was also the base for a team called the Gotham Knights, made up of Batman, Batwoman, Clayface, Orphan (a former Batgirl), Spoiler (another former Batgirl), Red Robin (Tim Drake, a former Robin), Nightwing, and Azrael. "In, we're introducing a new secondary Batcave that's going to be in Gotham City. It's called the Belfry, and it is the – honestly, I got to sit down and design my own Batcave from scratch.
And it's honestly one of the coolest things," writer James Tynion IV told Newsarama about the location back in June 2016. This feels like a new iconic setting in Gotham City, and I can't wait for people to see it." "When I saw the pages come in from Eddy Barrows designing it for the first time, I was just floored. In the comics, the Belfy even has a room similar to the X-Men's Danger Room or Star Trek's Holo Deck, called the 'Mud Room,' where Clayface can make traps and the like for the team to train against. The Gotham Knights story is completely original We didn't see anything like that in the trailer, so we're only speculating, but it should be interesting to see how Warner Bros. We saw in the premiere trailer for Gotham Knights that the Court of Owls is going to be one of the primary antagonists in the game. The group is a somewhat recent addition to the DC comics storyline, which sees Batman face off against the organized crime group. As Batman is seemingly dead in Gotham Knights, it's possible that the Court of Owls is responsible and the Gotham Knights are on a quest for vengeance. Please do note that that's purely speculation though.Ī tiny teaser revealed for Gotham Knights puts further emphasis on the Court of Owls. The brief animation seems to reveal the labyrinth the group uses to hold Batman captive and feed him drugged water.
In the comics, it's canon that Batman took in Nightwing when he was orphaned after his family died performing at a circus. Flash forward to 2011's Court of Owls storyline, and it's revealed that the circus was a training ground for the Court of Owls' Talons, the group's legion of assassins, revealing that Nightwing was in training to become a Talon. In modern comics, the Court of Owls returns in an attempt to reclaim Nightwing. Freeze is one of the Gotham Knights villains Again, purely speculation, but Gotham Knights could take inspiration from that storyline and see Nightwing imprisoned in the Court of Owls' labyrinth and the other Gotham knights on a rescue mission. Gotham Knights will feature seamless drop-in, drop-out co-op, which as we've learned is actually a huge focus for WB Games Montreal. You can see Batgirl doing her thing with the help of Robin, showcasing a few truly satisfying-looking takedowns.
The process of joining and leaving Gotham Knights co-op sessions looks easy-peasy, with a "ROBIN joined the session" message popping up as another player enters without interrupting the action or story. In an interview with GamesRadar, executive producer Fleur Marty got to talking about Gotham Knights' entirely new combat system, which has been optimized for co-op play. "We have entirely redesigned the combat system in order for it to work well in co-op, because that part of the experience is really exciting for us," Marty told us.
