Speaking to GameMe, creative director Patrick Redding revealed that family is a major theme of Gotham Knights. “One of our goals was to really tap into the aspects of the Batman universe that weren’t necessarily known in games yet.,” he said.

“We really used the idea of ​​the Batman family as a core element of that. Family in general has become a theme in this game‘ he said in the interview.
