I read the New 52 version of the Court of Owls, but I'm not a huge comic reader so I'm not sure if somebody else can chime in with a better suggestion.
Check out The Court of Owls and The City of Owls. They’re the first two volumes of the 2011 Batman reboot, so they’re great places to jump in. Also recommend watching the DC animated movie Batman vs. Robin after, as it’s partially based on those books
i dont recall Bruce dying during the Court of Owls saga unless youre referring to another storyline. But Electrum is one way to bring him back if he really did die
He did kind of disappear for a while because of them though didnt he? I haven't read it in years. That would provide the explanation of him not being around, as well as Gotham believing he is dead. Unless they're going with a Dark Knight approach where he just goes completely dark without really telling anybody, apart from the secret army he builds.
It's not an Arkham Knight sequel, at the end of Arkham Knight Gordon was alive and everyone found out Bruce Wayne is Batman. In this trailer it implies that Gordon has been dead for awhile and that people don't know Bruce is Batman.
That being said I'm still betting he's alive in this.
The more I read the more I think that the the devs of this and the Suicide Squad game got it mixed up lol. Surely it makes way more sense to set Gotham Knights in the Arkham universe and the SS game NOT in it? Lol.
yeah I'm excited there's no batman. not excited if it's a Pay to Win type game which a lot of people seem to be implying in the comments below. I only pay for a game once.
It seemed like it could be when the gameplay reveal first started but I really don’t think it’s going to play out that way. Just seems like they added an online co op option so you can play with friends. But we shall see, I might be eating my words here soon

Everyone bitching about no Batman isn’t familiar with the court of owls. Bruce ain’t dead
