This is pretty exciting news. Telltale Games has done great things with The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, and Vertigo’s Fables. They had also announced a few months ago they had plans for a Marvel game. But a Batman game? This could be fun and compelling. I look forward to how this plays out.
From Telltale Games:
Leading developer and publisher of digital entertainment, Telltale Games, with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment, today announced an interactive episodic game series based onDC Comics’ iconic Batman™ that is set to premiere in 2016.
