Okay, I realize I'm probably super LTTP on this one, but I searched for a thread and there doesn't seem to be one so...
Thanks to FoneBone for pointing out one was teased.
2010:
-Warner Montreal was founded.
-Geoff Johns teased that a "very violent" Suicide Squad game was in developer.
2012:
-Geoff Johns teases the Suicide Squad game again:
2013:
-(Spoilers for a video game) (Game Title:
) (Spoilers:
)
-(Spoilers for a different video game) (Game Title:
) (Spoilers:

2014:
-Warner Montreal has open job postings looking for Unreal Engine experience for AAA games. They are presumably still sharing the same tech base that Rocksteady and Netherrealm use, and is most recently being used in Arkham Knight.
-Arkham Knight is the final "Arkham" game, and this would be a pretty easy way to have a AAA game coming out with characters from the Batman universe to help keep capitalizing on the series' popularity.
-Warner noted that 3 years seemed too long for consumers to be without a AAA Batman title, which is why Origins exists. However, given the studio was founded in 2010 and Arkham City released in 2011, it's probable that making Arkham games wasn't the original idea behind the studio's AAA aspirations.
-Warner Montreal is 400 person (or perhaps more now), so they could definitely handle multiple major games at once. They were also always planned to get this large, so they presumably had a large project slate in mind.
Note: If you want to yell at me noting they aren't a supervillain team, that's fine, it's probably pretty obvious I don't follow comics religiously.
Update:
The cast seems to match up with hints in the TV show Arrow. The full roster seems to be:
And in regards to
if you look at their model in the model viewer there is a distinct hint towards that as well (thanks EatChildren).
