Dageekydude then shows off some of the tools at Batman's disposal and what detective work would have looked like in-game before showing footage of the stealth sequences. Combat would have been based on the Arkham system, according to Dageekydude.
The latest bit of information shared by Dageekydude is that this Nolanverse Batman game was going to be the first appearance of the Monolith's Nemesis system, where enemies retain Batman's memories for future combat encounters. Dageekydude says that this feature was intended to differentiate the game from Rocksteady's Arkham games, despite other common elements.
However, Warner Brothers apparently didn't like the idea of ​​having two simultaneous Batman franchises (what would have been the Nolanverse game and the Arkham games) so this Nolanverse game was retooled as a game set in the world of The Lord of the Rings; He became the shadow of Mordor.
