As for what’s next for Rocksteady, the developer said earlier this year that everyone on the team agrees that it’s time to do something outside of the Batman universe next. There was a teaser at the end of Arkham Knight that suggested that the series could continue in some form, but it does not look like they will have anything to do with it.
