Consoles have Batman fever: he’s breaking out everywhere

August 16, 2008 in Blog comments 14

Here we look at the various Batman games coming to the consoles in the wake of the hugely successful Bathman The Dark Knight, which sadly saw the demise of one of Australia's best younger actors, Heath Ledger.

With The Dark Knight gliding past the $400+ million mark breaking nearly every single record in cinema history it seems that there is a lot more Batman for fans to come in the near future, with up to 3 Batman games set to hit console in the next few months leading up to next year.

LEGO: Batman the first of the 3, is the next game in the ever growing LEGO games developed by Traveler Studios and sees our caped crusader with his trusty sidekick Robin fighting Gothams most terrifying villains. The Joker, Penguin, The Riddler and many more who have escaped Arkham Asylum.

    I heard that a Dark Knight game was coming out with the movie DVD release this fall. If this is true, by some horrible chance, shoot me. Can someone confirm this?

    I'll ask the guy that did the article, you could just go and comment on the site and ask him there . . that could help you get the answer . . I personally think it's "possible" but purely speculation atm.

    I doubt a Dark Knight Game will come out.

    I'm pretty sure movie-based games usually come out a little before(by a couple days) the movie actually comes out.

    A Dark Knight game won't happen.....probably...maybe...

    I was unaware that there was such a thing as "Bathman."
    Might wanna change that up Xbox.

      bob, you've never heard of "Bathman and Bubbles"? "The Starch Night" was a pretty good movie. I thought The Soaker was a brilliant villain...

    Hey guys cheers for the comments...

    It would of been smart to release the Dark Knight game with the movie at the same time and such but there could of been many factors as to why they didn't my best bet would be that it will be released around December when The Dark Knight is scheduled for release on DVD/Blu-Ray...

    I have no clue why they are being so tight lipped about it though. But again they could have their reasons but Gary Oldmans little snippet of it only further speculates that there is most likely a Dark Knight game being developed.

    I just read the Gameinformer article about the Arkham Asylum game, and I have to say from their description it looks amazing.

    It does sound really impressive, that's for sure. And while I'm not a fan of "normal" batman games, this one may well be like the "New Batman" style. Different, less cartoony and much more gritty. Which is really how it should be.

    I have Batman fever! So I'm glad there are a few coming out. I can see the LEGO Batman game being as big a letdown as the Indiana one though.

    I see it as something for the family to enjoy and have a great time. A less serious game and more of a sit down and relax kind of game

    Well the official news is out, that the game will arrive this year and from what I saw, it looks like a decent game. I usually wouldn't consider a Batman game, but this new Arkham Asylum sure is having me think twice about that.
