The Clash of Clans dungeon just wrapped up a second run in Puzzle & Dragons, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see this Batman event recur in the future. The results were fruitful for Supercell, and I expect the outcome will be very positive for Warner Bros.

Supercell subsequently sold a 51% stake to Softbank and Gungho for $1.5 billion.
