Writer Paul Dini has worked on both Batman: Arkham Asylum and Arkham City. Following those two games, it seems that Dini is done with the series… for now anyway.

Earlier this week, Dini tweeted:

“Kinda hoped I’d be doing another Arkham game in London during the Olympics. Esp, as I had a good source for tx. Ah, well.”

This was a little bit unclear, so fans asked for clarification. Dini followed up by saying that although he isn’t working on any new Batman games currently, he’d be open to writing a third entry since he “loved writing the first two”.

In case you were wondering, Dini isn’t lending his hand to the rumored Silver Age Batman title either. In another tweet, he wrote:

“I didn’t know about it until I read about it, so we’re even.”
