One of the notes in the picture states, “Sabbath: unreleased Batman” while the other states “Metallica: unreleased Suicide Squad”, suggesting that both projects were in development in parallel. Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier had recently revealed that, towards the end of 2016, a Suicide Squad game that had been in development at the Warner Bros studio in Montreal was canceled. This was undoubtedly “Project Metallica”. The property was subsequently given to Rocksteady, which began working on Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League in 2017.
As for “Project Sabbath”, in 2021, details regarding a Batman game featuring Damien Wayne called Project Sabbath had emerged via concept artist Goran Bukvic‘s ArtStation profile. Two years later, actor Josh Keaton confirmed during a recent stream that he was going to voice Wayne in the game.
Keaton mentioned that there was a canceled Batman game he was going to be a part of. He added that everything about the game had got leaked online, and the publisher ended up shutting down the project soon after. He said that he had done three or four voice over sessions before the plug was pulled on the project.
Later in the stream, Keaton confirmed that the game was to feature Damien Wayne as the protagonist. He mentioned that the leaks gave away everything that was different about the game, including the plot, the enemies, the villains, the rogues gallery, and the concept art. He said with certainty that the leaks “killed” project, though Jason Schreier believes this was not the case.
