For years, fans have been speculating about what's been in development at WB Games Montreal. Most of the rumors and leaks point to WB Games Montreal working on a new Batman game, though there has been some disagreement about whether it's a new Arkham sequel or a series reboot. While official confirmation still has yet to come, new evidence seems to favor the theory that the new Batman game is indeed a reboot.
James Sigfield, who originally broke the news that the new Batman game is a reboot, recently shared a Resetera thread that discovered some interesting information. The post, by user est1992, pointed out how a WB Games Montreal employee stated that they have been working as a Sr Producer on an undisclosed title, and that the title is a "new IP." Assuming that WB Games Montreal is truly working on a new Batman game has been rumored, then this seems to confirm that the new game isn't an Arkham sequel. However, it's also possible that it means a "new IP" in a literal sense, meaning it's something brand new and unrelated to Batman or DC Comics.

Something else of note is that WB Games Montreal appears to have started work on its next project. This could indicate that its Batman game is much farther along in development than one would have expected. This combined with WB Games Montreal's own teases seems to suggest that a Batman game announcement could be imminent, but every time it seems that the studio is finally going to announce the game, nothing ever comes of it.
Whenever WB Games Montreal does finally announces its long rumored Batman game, it will be interesting to learn which rumors were true and which were fake. The latest rumors claim that the new Batman game has co-op, with players playing as various members of the "Batfamily." Rumors also say that this new Batman game will apparently kick off a connected universe of DC Comics video games.
Older rumors point to the new Batman game being about the Court of Owls storyline from the comic books. Whether or not that's still the case remains to be seen, but hopefully fans won't have to wait much longer to find out for sure. In the meantime, speculation about WB Games Montreal's rumored Batman project will continue.
