Warner Bros. paused its Batman plans following the problematic launch of 2015's Arkham Knights. But, after seven years, WB Games Montreal finally got a chance to launch a new Batman game. Unfortunately, Gotham Knights might have been better off released following a few more coats of paint.
There were signs that Gotham Knights would fail expectations. First up, there was the issue with WB Games Montreal delaying the game by a year. Later on, WB Games Montreal removed Gotham Knights from last-gen consoles.
To top it all off, the very demanding PC specs screamed of a very unoptimized game. This corroborated earlier leaks about performance capping on current-gen consoles.
Now that Gotham Knights is out, critics and audiences alike paint it in a very negative light.
