With messages of excitement, speculation, and just overall screaming intensifies, it’s hard not to get swept up in the excitement of it all! But this isn’t the first time they’ve revealed teasers like this, and it isn’t the first time that we’ve gone crazy trying to solve the mystery.ย

This isn’t the first motion capture teaser they’ve revealed recently either, just a few weeks ago they posted up a picture of the Mocap team all suited up, which prompted its own special reaction from fans all over the world.ย

The reactions, once more, center around predictions and just going nuts. But we’ve got a few ideas of our own, including a potential Suicide Squad game in the works with the film’s sequel on the way.ย
Our past predictions:
In our previous coverage, one of the more probably predictions included the recently released Suicide Squad film with Harley and the gang. Here’s what one fellow WWGย writer had to say:ย
“While we’re talking about games that are in the realm of possibility for forthcoming DC movie projects, we have to bring upย Suicide Squad. The sequel has been in discussion for some time, and there’s been word that a game is also in the works, with brawler tactics, co-op based gameplay between characters, and a possibleย Borderlands-esque open-world set-up.
It sounds ambitious, but that doesn’t quite confirm that Rocksteady is behind the project. They’re certainly qualified, but there’s also a chance that they’re working on something new and not a DC property. And Warner Bros. has plenty of teams to turn to with the project as well, especially since Monolith has just wrapped up work onย Middle-Earth: Shadow of War.”
A Justice League/Wonder Womanย game is also highly likely, especially seeing the momumentous success of the Wonder Woman film in theaters. With Justice League having such a huge impact with both comic and movie buffs, to see Rocksteadyย take on that challenge wouldn’t be surprising at all.ย
Thoughts?
Unfortunately Rocksteady has already confirmed that the Batman Arkham series has reached its end, so the likelihood of that being the next step is slim to none. Still, crazier things have happened but there is definitely a world of possibilities. As seen in the reactions, a Superman movie is also highly desired – what could they be thinking of next? Until we have an official announcement, however, it’s all wild speculation at this point.ย
