So I thought this one was pretty interesting. A new job on Gamasutra just went up for an Executive Producer at WB headquarters to oversee a Warner Montreal AAA multiplayer service game.
There are also several job postings up on Warner Montreal's site that suggest this is a thing as well.
Possibilities:
1.) Damian Wayne Batman is a very different game than I imagined, or at least has a huge multiplayer component.
2.) They looked at the sales of Diablo 3, Destiny, Borderlands, and The Division, and put Suicide Squad back in development.
3.) They took the people who were working on Suicide Squad and put them on a new AAA multiplayer service game instead.
