Voice actor Josh Keaton, who plays Robin in Batman: Arkham Origins, claims a Batman game he was working on was cancelled because of leaks, but another source suggests otherwise.

“I would love to get a shot at Batman,” Keaton says in a Twitch livestream. “I almost did. There was a game that I was going to be a part of that I was going to play Batman. It wasn’t going to be Bruce Wayne Batman, it was going to be a different Batman.”

Keaton goes on to explain that the plug was pulled on the project after details about the game surfaced online. “Everything about the game got leaked on some forum and they ended up shutting it down,” he says. “I’d done like three or four sessions on it, and that was the end of that game.”

Keaton appears assured that the game’s demise was down to leaks, but in response to the video, Bloomberg writer Jason Schreier argues that there is"zero truth to the claim.“He doesn’t elaborate on what he believes is the actual reason here, but in response to questions from other users, he says that he will “hopefully” go into detail “at some point,” though “not on Twitter.”

Prior to Project Sabbath, WB Games Montreal was working on a Suicide Squad game, not to be confused with theSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguecurrently in development at Rocksteady. This, too, never saw the light of day, and instead, the studio releasedGotham Knights, which sees Nightwing, Batgirl, Robin, and Red Hood take centre stage.
