"Seeing these characters come to life on the walls of Montreal, where our studio worked on them is a source of pride for us. We're delighted to see them mingle with the cultural and artistic life of the city," said Gotham Knights Creative Director Patrick Redding.
"It's like they're watching over our city, the same way they watch over Gotham."
WB Games Montreal has been operating in Montreal for over a decade. Founded in 2010, the studio is well-known for its popular game Batman™: Arkham Origins.
