Warner Bros. has recently shut down 3 of its major studios, including Monolith Productions, Player First Games, and WB San Diego. This seems to be a strategic action taken to avert disasters like Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League in the future. It has also canned the upcoming Wonder Woman game that was already in development.
The DC universe has long relied on Batman to come and save the day, both in fiction as well as in reality. Some of the most successful games from DC revolve around Batman, and it is high time some of the other characters get explored too.
DC needs to think dynamically to move ahead
In the ever-evolving space of gaming, it is very important to keep coming up with new and exciting things to keep players engaged in a game. Repetition in this medium has rarely proven successful. DC has faced the might of the ruthless nature of this industry, but it has also seen a lot of success with its Batman games.
This does tell us that Batman sells, and players are crazy about that character. But DC can’t always rely on the same hero to save the day all the time. It will not be a good move to go back to Batman after canceling the upcoming Wonder Woman game, which had a lot of hype riding behind it.
There are so many other characters from DC with rich lore and dynamic personalities who deserve a game of their own. There could be a game revolving around Flash, Aquaman, Cyborg, Superman, and Green Lantern. Even a game revolving around Cat Woman would be interesting.

If DC keeps relying on Batman for success, its other heroes might disappear into darkness. It is important to let others take center stage for once since people have seen a lot of Batman content now.
People still enjoy the Batman games but DC could do better
There is no doubt about the Batman games’ relevance in the market still. Kai Cenat recently released a unique trailer to announce a Batman marathon where he was seen fighting Deathstroke in a Batsuit.
Nevertheless, this should not mean that DC should keep releasing Batman games in the future as well. However, nothing has been officially announced by any of the studios, but given the history of DC, it is highly likely that it will go back to it, especially after the massive losses that Warner Bros. has suffered recently.
Warner Bros. does not have any plans for the future in regards to its gaming unit as of now, and it is a strategic decision that the studio has taken. In the meantime, it should focus on coming up with fresh ideas revolving around other heroes from the DC universe as well. What do you think about it? Let us know in the comments below.
