Follow-up reports in 2017 claimed that the Suicide Squad game had been cancelle d - some have pointed out that images from the same folder of concept art as the Superman image, including a series of sketches of Harley Quinn (below), could represent work on that project. The image itself is found in a portfolio of images called ' Batman Games', with much of the work focusing on Origins and Knight. Both Steambot and Joël Dos Reis Viegas himself have worked for WB Montreal in the past - Dos Reis Viegas helped create concepts for characters in WB Montreal's Batman: Arkham Origins, as well as DLC costumes for Batman: Arkham Knight (WB Montreal assisted Arkham Knight developer Rocksteady for post-launch content).
