'Dark Knight' Game Leaks

Posted by Stephen Johnson - Tuesday, July 22, 2008 11:12 AM

There has been speculation on the web recently about why no Dark Knight tie-in game has been announced, but apparently, it's premature. On G4's Dark Knight special on Thursday night, actor Gary Oldman dropped the word of his participation in a Dark Knight videogame, that may be planned to coincide with the DVD release of the movie.

Oldman says a game is "In the works," and talks about the fact that they're working hard to create a seemless game experience, "So it doesn't stop and start. Like you're watching a movie." Oldman mentions a scene where Lt. Gordon is on a rooftop and "not doing anything." Then Batman "jumps off the building and opened his wings to fly away and save the day."

We don't know anything about consoles, release dates or further details, but back in April, we brought word of a rumor that Pandemic was working on a Batman title. Don't know if they're related, though. We'll let you know when we know, as always.

And here's the actual video of Gary Oldman confirming the game's existence:

i hope its actually a good game. i would rather the game come out with the dvd and it be good then released now and be just another crappy movie game

Anything that Batman touches right now, is turning gold!! Beautiful gold...


But for real, right? I thought a game came out already. Pretty odd...

So basically, they want to make the game like MGS4. Awesome. Can't wait. I don't know how they're going to model the Joker, but people have been doing stuff like this for a while (i.e. THQ and dead "Legends" in WWE game series), so I trust a game wouldn't fail.

It's just difficult not to bring in the nostalgia factor when comparing the film. Jack Nicholson was an amazing Joker....

This is f'n awesome news! I was upset there was no game either, but at the same time, worried that it would be half-assed if done.

I trust the game will be quality because it wasn't rushed out for the movie released.

I can't wait!

I really hope it's like Assassin's Creed style but obviously taller buildings and the like. Where you can climb any building at any spot and jump off said buildings then open your cape and glide around the city and crash through windows. It would be awesome IMO. And also be able to grapple onto ANY spot. Not just certain pre-set "targeted" spots. Also have like a meter or something that tells you how hidden you are a la MGS 3-4. So basically I want it Spider-man 2 game meets Assassin's Creed meets MGS and that would be awesome!

Just saw the movie today. It was awesome. I know it's a movie tie-in but I just have a feeling.

After seeing the movie i think it would be very hard to make a game that would do it justice. IT would be hard to put all those moral questions in an action game . Face it in a Batman game you want to be Batman beating the crap out of people not Bruce Wayne questioning his mission . Remember playing as Bruce Banner in the 2003 Hulk game?? there is a very good reason why in Ultimate destruction and the new Hulk game Banner is only in cutscenes.

But then again considering they are not rushing it with the movie they could make something badass.

Im just as tired of hearing about it as you all probably are but i hope that they don't ruin heath's greatest acting in a movie with this game; with some guy trying to double his voice. I don't want to sound like everyone screaming oscar-worthy or anything like that but come on guys, be cool.

I hope it Will be Like Assassins Creed meets Splinter Cell That would be the ish
