After the long-running series of comic book, Batman will finally be launched as a new game under Rocksteady Studios as "Batman: Arkman Knight" on June 2 this year.
This latest project derived from the veteran comic book writer Marv Wolfman who announced through his Facebook account, that he's relieved to finally able to talk with the people about this project which has kept secret for so long. Gamespot also shared that he even joked that he has even kept this top secret even with his dog.
Wolfman said, "Well, I can finally tell folk what I've been working on these past months in total secrecy, even from my dog ... I wrote the official novelization for Arkham Knight, based on the upcoming video game, and had a ball doing it."
He said that the story would be emotional but it comes with great results which he was exceedingly happy knowing about it. He quoted, "Both game and book come out in July. I'll post the cover here once it's official. Anyway, whew, it feels great finally being able to talk about it. My dog is happy, too. I no longer have to keep throwing her out of my office while I'm working."
Though there have been some confusion whether the Arkham Knight will be released by June or July based from Wolfman's statement that the official release will be around July. However, Warner Bros. Representative clarified that the Arkham Knight the game will still pursue its debut this June.
Wolfman didn't provide any further details about the Arkham Knight, however, there are some of the few descriptions noted about the game.

Rocksteady said in an interview that they have needed so much development time to ensure that the quality of the product is will be as great as it can be. As cited in the same site, Rocksteady said, "If we didn't give the team more time to do it, then we would be releasing something we weren't happy with ... We want to make sure we're absolutely nailing it to 100 percent."
The Batman: Arkham Knight will be launched in June 2 and will be available for Xbox One, Playstation 4, and PC.
