Do you have any idea who this game’s about? The Goddamn Batman.

@Ian: What’s it missing? For me the Batman Fangasm-Ultimate game would be if it was free roaming (obviously), like Spiderman 2 but smaller scale, more detailed. That’s always part of my Fangasm-Ultimate scenario though.

Jagger as Joker = bad idea.
Hugh Laurie as Joker = insanely awesome idea.

I had that Spectrum Batman game – it was fucking brutal. Oddly enough, I never once wondered what the all the cakes and disembodied floating heads had to do with Batman.

@Angel Dust: Clint Eastwood as Batman in a film version of DKR was an actual idea that was thrown around in the time between Batman & Robin and Batman Returns.

Really? I always thought it was just some stupid idea of mine people would laugh about. The idea remain stupid though, if you think of Eastwood dressed up as the Batman, with the mask, the belt and the cape. Anyway, hooray for me then.

And Adam T, I think that could work, but Jagger would really need to step up to beat Heath Ledger.

I loves me some batman, but I want you all to know that I had the Dark Knight Returns idea with Clint Eastwood in it first. AND just to prove it I’ll let you know that Mick Jagger should play the joker. Not that Mick can act, but cover him in makeup and tell him to act crazy – I think he could manage it with good direction.

That trailer looked less than awesome to me, but hearing KG talk it up is making me excited in my pants.

The Riddler heads that homed in and followed your every move…fuck those guys.

Jon Ritman’s Batman was both a work of genius and pure, unadulturated evil. Think the best I ever managed was 3 pieces plus being in a room with another yet having no clue how on earth I could possibly get it.

Agh! I hate you Gillen for reminding me of that old Batman on Spectrum. It was bloody impossible, I’ll be having nightmares about it now.

Besides, Head over Heels was clevererer.

I’m a hopeless Batman fan, so I’m doomed to be excited.

The Riddick comparison people are making strikes me as a good one actually.

Wow, this could actually work. If they can finally make a Batman game that *feels* like a Batman game, they’ll certainly have earned my money. Fingers crossed for this one.

And for bonus points, it looks like it could be genuinely atmospheric and psychological, meaning plenty of chance for a scare or two. I keep getting flashes of a Joker-driven Fort Frolic sort of level, an idea which is A) Unsettling and B) Awesome.
