Gary Oldman says it's being working on, and he's seen it.

I'm just glad they did not try to rush it for a movie time frame release. Maybe it will actually be good.

I don't really want a Dark Knight game. I want an open world game set in Gotham with Jeph Loeb writing the story. That would be incredible.

I am glad they are waiting, hopefully to get the game "right." I just wish we would have seen something about it by now.
In the clip linked above, Oldman discusses Batman jumping of rooftops and gliding over the city. That gives me the feeling the developers (Pandemic?) may be creating an open-world Gotham.
I look forward to seeing more as we get closer to the game's release.

From what Oldman said it could be a large free-roaming game, soaring across the city and fighting crime, whilst coming back to GCPD to meet Gordon and get a new mission/heads-up on the Joker.
Please don't make it another lame Superman Returns/Spiderman 3 type of free roaming game (ie. big city with no ideas or imagination)

My memory (of the Superman game) is that it was delayed and ended up releasing around the time of the DVD. I will keep me fingers crossed EA is taking this release more seriously.

The Batman Begins game was highly mediocre despite its through-the-roof production values. Man, Liam Neeson makes for a really good voice actor.
I still don't have enough trust for EA to make anything more then a shiny but vacuous experience, just like last time.

Considering that Pandemic Studios have made other great open world games in the past, and are working on a great looking Merc 2 thus far.
If you don't believe me, go here: http://www.pandemicstudios.com/mercenaries/videoplayer.php
Click on "remote" click on the videos tab, and then click on "Chris uncut". Now imagine Batman instead of Chris, and the BatPod instead of the motorbike.
I love when non-gaming people try to discuss otherwise rudimentary gaming features for interviews.
I guess he's talking about the developer trying to make the game seamless between cinematic and real-time gameplay, like he glides in and you start the game right where you land or something. But he explains it so awkwardly :lol

I can't say I'm all that excited just because they're working on Merc 2, they do carnage and destruction well but I don't think that's what a batman game is about, it's about action and light stealth, it doesn't have to be an open world. Maybe a few studios can handle something like this, like R* North or Naughty Dog or Sucker Punch, and all of them got their own IPs to worry about.

The Batman Begins game wasn't rushed either, mixed results for that one from what I hear despite endless hype from Matt Cassassasasamina.

Thanks for the info. I suppose the only thing that one could take from Mercs 2 is that perhaps Pandemic would be sharing tools and engine components between development teams?
But I did like the Destroy All Humans games. So I have faith that this game will be good.

Pandemic is doing it. They have a pretty good track record for big games...Skenzin said:

They should make a Batman game based on Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns. But for the love for god, please don't venture into Knightfall - that was a really cheap cash in after Death of Superman. =/ Bane sucks as a villain and Azrael is scheduled for sliver in Batman's lineup of cool wannabe rejects.

Ok, place your bets people. Who thinks this game will suck ass like most Batman games? I don't care how good a movie it was and no matter how well a game could work based on the movie, somehow someway someone will fuck it up.

I am definitely on your side that it most likely will suck.
If it is as good as the Return of the King game, I'll be happy!

I said most Batman games, not all of them. I'm well aware of the good Batman games. They just get outnumbered by the bad.

Hey Batman, you wanna play a REALLY shitty game Batman? Well how about The Dark Knight on the Nintendo Wii Batman?!?!

the movie doesn't really lend itself very well to a video game adaptation, from what i can tell. it's much more a character study than an action movie.

then it will be like every other batman game, then
seriously though, for people who've seen it, what were the best parts of the movie? the big action scene was very tumbler-/batpod-centric, and i don't know about you, but i'm not sitting around waiting with baited breath to play that scene in a video game. it just seems irrelevant

i liked the superman arcade game.
I think they should wait til next-gen so that Gary Oldman's moustache can be rendered in fine detail at 1080p 60fps
In fact they should ditch the whole Batman thing and let you freely roam around Gotham as Jim Gordon and watch Gotham go to hell. Use the sixaxis motion sensor to tilt the bat signal. Jim Gordon will be the new Old Snake.
In conclusion: GARY OLDMAN!
