Batman game that became Shadow of Mordor footage surfaces online

Gameplay from Monolith's Batman game that went on to become Shadows of Mordor has appeared online.

reported that this cancelled Batman project - which was codenamed Apollo - would have featured a variety of stealth and combat mechanics inspired by the Arkham games, open-world technology and the foundation of what would eventually become the Shadow of Mordor's Nemesis system. Shared to social media platform X, these show a glimpse at Batman gliding over the streets of Gotham, the game's Batmobile, gadget loadouts, stealth sequences and more. This particular release was first announced back in 2021, when the developer said players will "become Diana of Themyscira in the fight to unite her Amazon family and the humans from the modern world" and "forge deep connections with both enemies and allies as they progress from a heroic fighter into a proven leader".
