Like Damian, Terry is a flawed character, but instead of being raised by the League of Assassins, he spent time in juvie thanks to coercion from a former friend. Batman Beyond introduced Terry Mcginnis as Batman’s successor, decades after Bruce Wayne hung up the cowl due to his declining health. Though WB Games had set plans for Batman: Arkham Knight's canceled sequel, it could instead take inspiration from Batman Beyond, one of the darkest and most inventive takes on Batman seen in the fan-favorite DC Animated Universe. Thankfully, Batman Beyond offers a much more suitable alternative. Although Damian Wayne has his fans, he's also a more divisive Batman sidekick, despite his growth over various comics, movies, and TV shows. Initially raised by the League of Assassins, Damian struggled with his lethality until he learned from Batman and Nightwing’s crime-fighting methods. Unlike the other Robins, Damian Wayne was initially cruel, malicious, and had a terrible attitude towards most vigilantes. Damian Wayne is a recent addition to the Bat Family, being Batman’s only blood son in the mainline comics, but his attitude can be abrasive. Project Sabbath may have pursued a similar formula for Damian and Bruce Wayne’s relationship. The father-child narrative has seen extreme success in games like God of War and The Last of Us. Original plans for WB’s canceled Project Sabbath focused exclusively on Damian Wayne’s journey as Batman. Thousands of amazing Batman stories exist, but a game adaptation of the Batman Beyond animated series could be in Batman: Arkham’s future.

Video games have a unique opportunity to produce hundreds of hours of content for players to explore, an undertaking beyond what television shows and movies are capable of. Batman is one of the most prolific characters in comic book history, and while the Batman: Arkham games have explored many chapters of his life, there are many other characters and stories to develop. While the latest installment of the Batman: Arkham universe is the Suicide Squad game, the series could still continue in Gotham City with a future entry.

Characters like Duela Dent and a fresh take on Black Mask suggested unique twists on classic Batman villains that could have extended the series’ lifetime. Similar to Batman Beyond, Project Sabbath would have explored Damian Wayne’s chapter as Batman, with Bruce acting as a mentor figure. Though Bruce Wayne’s ‘death’ put a temporary end to the Dark Knight, his work in vigilantism continued until he reached a ripe old age.

According to information gathered from the various concept images for WB's canceled Batman: Arkham Knight sequel, the game would have explored the next chapter in Gotham City’s lifetime.
