Recently, the internet has been hit with a flood of so-called "information" regarding upcoming DC video games. We saw articles posted about Rocksteady reportedly working on Justice League, Superman, and announcements that were supposed to come. But the days came and gone and we saw nothing.
In light of this heartbreak, I took it upon myself to try and find anything I could on the upcoming DC games, and I think I might've found something substantial...but it has nothing to do with Rocksteady.
WB has a host of studios under its wing, including Rocksteady, TT games, Turbine, Monolith, and the birthchild-- WB Montreal.
WB Montreal has been extremely quiet since the release of Batgirl: A Matter of Family, DLC for Rocksteady's farewell to the Arkham trilogy, Batman: Arkham Knight. Since then, they have not tweeted or came out to the public to say anything other than some spotty Facebook posts.
Many have been wondering what they've been up to, some reporting on a Damian Wayne game, some leaks about Superman, and even Suicide Squad. The reports have come and gone and still we've got nothing from the studio other than some job postings about their two DC games. Some multiplayer things here and there but nothing concrete.
BUT, today I think I found something concrete. I searched high and wide through multiple websites of professionals and landed on this
LinkedIn profile that shows someone who worked at WB Montreal recently. In the summary, you can see that he worked on both DC comics projects coming out of the studio.
Here are the images incase they get taken down:

The first game is listed as an open-world co-op game powered by Unreal Engine 4. Now you can try and say that this is just the cancelled Suicide Squad game, but look at the date. It is marked from March 2017-June 2017. These dates are too recent to be Suicide Squad, and they must be something else.
The other posting also shows an open-world single player game from DC comics. It's powered by Unreal Engine 3 and utilizes some of the same things we saw in the Arkham games. The most interesting is the line about the spawning of resources and decision-making. Will the choices we make have an impact on the story? Only time will tell.
With WB out of games on their upcoming slate it only makes sense to see at least one of these games next year. Maybe alongside Rocksteady's game as well.
Give your thoughts in the comments. What do you think the co-op game is? Batman and Robin? Revamped Suicide Squad? Or even the Justice League? What about the single player? Superman leaks come to fruition or maybe the Damian Wayne game?
TL;DR: WB Montreal Linkedin leaks points to co-op multiplayer open world game and single-player, open world decision and resource based game.
EDIT: MORE DETAILS:
Seems to be an Action-RPG game. Don't know exactly what that means but it seems to be vehicle based. Gotten from another
linkedin profile (yay linkedin).
