Videos and images from a canceled Batman game have been leaked. It has emerged that Monolith Productions, known for games like Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and F.E.A.R., was developing a Batman game in 2010 under the codename Project Apollo, which was eventually canceled. Reports suggest that this Batman game drew inspiration from Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy.

While the exact reason for the game’s cancellation is unknown, it is noted that Warner Bros. wanted to focus on only one Batman series at that time, which turned out to be the Rocksteady-developed Arkham series. It is said that Monolith’s Batman project was scrapped due to the existence of this series.

Interestingly, Monolith later repurposed this Batman game into a Lord of the Rings game, which became Shadow of Mordor. It is rumored that the Nemesis system in Shadow of Mordor was originally conceived for the Batman game.

Additionally, the game developed by Monolith reportedly featured the Batmobile, indicating that the company had envisioned using this iconic vehicle long before Rocksteady did. According to videos, besides gliding through the city, the game was supposed to offer dynamics of free-roaming with the Batmobile.

The game was said to include elements of stealth and detective work, with a combat system similar to that of the Arkham series. The resemblance of the combat system in Shadow of Mordor to the Arkham games is attributed to this aspect.
