This isn't the first hint we've had of a new Batman game being developed by WB Games Montréal though. Late last year, one of the developers at WB Games Montréal posted a picture of herself, wearing a shirt with a logo strikingly similar to the one used by the Court of Owls. Yesterday, the writer for the original Court of Owls story, Scott Snyder, posted a Tweet (now deleted) that said "Wait for it... #BewaretheCourtofOwls."
The timing for this is interesting, as PlayStation has announced a new State of Play event to be held tomorrow, September 24 at 4:00 p.m. EST. It's possible this Batman game will be revealed during that show. We'll be sure to keep you updated on any announcements.
