The creators of Gotham Knights have revealed the comics that influenced the game.
The team behind Gotham Knights has revealed which comics inspired the upcoming game. For those out of the loop, Gotham Knights is a brand-new video game from Warner Bros. Montreal that lets players take control of Batgirl, Nightwing, Red Hood, and Robin to protect Gotham City from various DC Comics evildoers. When the game begins, Batman is already dead and his allies are left to defend the city from his vengeful foes.
When speaking with ComicBook.com's Chris Killian, Gotham Knights executive producer Fleur Martyr and game director Patrick Redding discussed the comic books that helped inspire the game. Most notably, The Court of Owls storyline inspired the game's overall storyline, but the team looked closer to determine the directions of the protagonists.
"The Batgirl of Burnside run certainly informed our treatment of Barbara," said Redding."I wanna say some of the recent solo book storylines for Red Hood allowed us to delve into the mystical disciplines of that character which informed some of the game design choices we made.
As of right now, we're still waiting to see exactly how Gotham Knights will be received, but ComicBook came away feeling positively about it after a recent hands-on preview. The team also recently discussed what it was like writing for multiple protagonists and how that changes the various cutscenes in the game. It certainly seems like the team has poured a lot of time and effort into the game from a design perspective, but also through its extensive research.
