Luckily, it was previously announced that WB had moved the Gotham Knights’ release date up by four days to October 21. Four days may not be much, but it is four days sooner nonetheless. And during a recent preview of Gotham Knights, Game Rant noticed an Easter egg that brings Superman into the game in a small, albeit fun way.

We found an email addressing Bruce Wayne’s death in Gotham Knights (which WB Games Montreal has reiterated is legit plenty of times, still to the disbelief of many fans), written by Superman’s secret identity, Clark Kent. It’s not that much of a secret between him and other heroes, though, as it was addressed to Dick Grayson and spoke about how much danger and death is involved in the job, yet so few ever see it coming.
However, Clark Kent believes that Batman did see it coming and did expect that his actions would result in his death, from the moment he put on the cowl. This earned him Superman’s respect. Every single member of the Bat Family in Gotham Knights has to deal with Batman’s death, but at the same time, it seems like he almost anticipated they would take over for him. One of the first trailers implied as much anyway.
Of course, fans are likely to encounter even more DC universe Easter eggs referencing other characters during their own playthrough. Whether that’s references to obscure Batman characters, enemies belonging to rogue galleries of heroes like Superman, or even nods toward other DC heroes like Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, The Flash, and/or Aquaman, there’s certainly plenty of potential.
Plus, WB is really treating its DC fans well. Gotham Knights may be its game of the fall, but come 2023, fans will also get to dive into another DC hero game, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Clark Kent may not appear in Gotham Knights in the flesh (or perhaps he will, who knows), but fans can expect to face off with an evil Superman in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
Gotham Knights is scheduled to release on October 21, 2022, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
