Leaked concept art reveals Batman Arkham sequel game featuring Damian Wayne and new villains
A decade after the last Batman Arkham game, new concept art has emerged from a canceled follow-up, sparking speculation among fans. The artwork was revealed by character artist Rodrigue Pralier, who confirmed it was part of an unreleased project that never saw production. Originally intended as a continuation in the Rocksteady Studios franchise, the project would have featured Bruce Wayne's biological son, Damian Wayne, as the new Batman. The concept art shows Damian suited up as Gotham's protector, while an aged Bruce Wayne—now retired, bearded, and using a cane—appears to have stepped away from the role after sustaining serious injuries. New concept art from WB Games Montréal's cancelled 2015 Damian Wayne game "Project Sabbath" has surfaced, shared by character artist Rodrigue Pralier.

These hints suggest a darker, evolved Gotham narrative. A fan page dedicated to the Batman Arkham series shared the art, triggering intense discussion online. Some fans speculated the game was shelved to prioritize 2022's Gotham Knights, a title that received largely negative reviews from longtime supporters of the Arkham series. These developments raise fresh questions about whether Rocksteady or Warner Bros. Games might ever revisit the Arkham storyline. Despite fan interest and previous success, there has been no official confirmation of a sequel since Batman: Arkham Knight launched in 2015. The franchise's only related releases, Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, have both faced lukewarm receptions. As of now, it's unclear whether the leaked art originated from internal studio materials or was part of a fan concept. Still, it has reignited hopes among fans that Damian Wayne's chapter in the Arkham legacy might one day be told.

'Final Destination Bloodlines' Scored World Record For Setting Oldest (Stunt)Person On Fire, Says Director
There are only so many ways to depict death, and after six outings, Final Destination Bloodlines isn't holding back on the theatrics. Ahead of the movie's release on 16 May, director Zach Lipovsky revealed that the film has set a new world record for setting the oldest person on fire. 'We lit so many different people on fire, including breaking the world record for oldest person on fire with Yvette Ferguson, who did that full body burn in the silver dress,' said the filmmaker in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. 'That was the oldest person ever on fire, on camera.' The 71-year-old stuntwoman stepped out of retirement to play Mrs. Fuller, who burst into flames in the opening sequence featuring the fictional, 112-metre-tall Skyview Tower. It should be noted that the record-breaking feat isn't quite official yet, as the team is still waiting on confirmation after submitting it to Guinness World Records, but it's still impressive enough to warrant a mention. According to Lipovsky, the time required to capture the scene amounted to about half of the film's entire shoot: 'The set was incredibly elaborate. It was actually probably seven different sets with all the different pieces. The main set, though, was incredibly huge, and we always laughed because it cost more than the first film we made.' 'We had to build the thing basically out of concrete…It was not only built to look incredibly cool, but it was built to be incredibly robust, as far as having huge amounts of fireproofing. It was so hot that you couldn't be in that set. You had to be standing really far away,' he added. That's but one of the many grisly moments to grace Final Destination Bloodlines , including a nose-piercing death, a deadly breakfast, an air conditioning unit with a loose screw, and more. Lipovsky serves as director alongside Adam Stein, who previously worked on Kim Possible , with Kaitlyn Santa Juana ( The Flash ), the cast includes Teo Briones ( Chucky ), Richard Harmon ( The 100 ), Owen Patrick Joyner ( Julie and the Phantoms ), Rya Kihlstedt ( Obi-Wan Kenobi ), Anna Lore ( Gotham Knights ), Brec Bassinger (Stargirl), and the late Tony Todd ( Candyman ) filling out the main cast. A previously released synopsis for the forthcoming entry reads, 'The newest chapter in New Line Cinema's bloody successful franchise takes audiences back to the very beginning of Death's twisted sense of justice. Plagued by a violent recurring nightmare, college student Stephanie heads home to track down the one person who might be able to break the cycle and save her family from the grisly demise that inevitably awaits them all.'
