With the dark knight doing so well at the box office, it seems strange that the only Batman game coming this year is Lego Batman. Now don’t get me wrong; playing as Batman,Robin,Nightwing and the Joker is enough to get me excited to spend my hard earned cash. Still, with all the Dark Knight merchandise out these days, people have been asking, “Where is the Dark Knight video game?” (besides the one for cell phones) There have been countless Dark Knight video game rumors coming out for months, now.
In April, IGN posted an article, only to have it removed within a few hours. Another rumor was that EA would release info on the Dark Knight. E3 2008 came and went, nothing about the game was disclosed. Many people think the game was canceled due to the passing of Actor, Heath Ledger, who portrayed the Joker in The Dark Knight. Others say EA & Warner Bros didn’t want to take the risk after the low reception of Batman Begins, the game.
Then, after almost losing hope, actor, Gary Oldman, let the cat out of the bag to G4 Tv on July 23rd, 2008. What Gary told G4 was that the game has been in development and will release later this year, alongside the Dark Knight movie, on DVD & blue-ray. So, let the debating begin! Will this be an open-ended Gotham City, or just another movie tie in game?
