The full Batman: Assault on Arkham is going to be showing for the first time at the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con.

The film is based on the bestselling Batman: Arkham video game series.

“We find Gotham in great danger when the government assembles a group of villains-code-named The Suicide Squad-and forces them to break into Arkham Asylum to retrieve top-secret information stolen by the Riddler. Things take a turn for the worse when Harley Quinn frees the Joker, who is intent on using a dirty bomb to blow up Arkham Asylum and Gotham City,” the film description says. “Batman must use his superhero wits and strength to thwart the wicked plans of the Joker and the Suicide Squad.”

After the film ends, a panel discussion will feature: 

Batman voice Kevin Conroy (Batman: The Animated Series), as well as Matthew Gray Gubler (Criminal Minds), Troy Baker (The Last of Us), and John DiMaggio (Futurama), plus the filmmaking team of producer James Tucker (Son of Batman), director Jay Oliva (Justice League: War), dialogue director Andrea Romano (Batman: The Dark Knight Returns), screenwriter Heath Corson (Justice League: War) and moderator Victor Lucas (Electric Playground).
