Pandemic Studios Working On New Batman Game

GCO Gamer | April 02, 2008 | News | PC Playstation 2 
According to a cancelled post by IGN, Pandemic Studios and Electronic Arts apparently are working on a new Batman game. The game is set to be released on almost all major gaming systems.
Never one to turn down a good movie tie-in by way of a brand-new videogame, IGN has learned that EA has indeed tapped Pandemic to create a new Batman title. We first reported this as a strong rumor back in May of 2007, but now we know it’s happening for sure.

Elevation Partners, who were owners of Pandemic and BioWare until the EA purchase, had gained the videogame rights to the franchise. We had rumored last year that EA would publish the title, but now that EA owns the aforementioned companies, the publishing aspect was a given.

Unfortunately, we don’t have any specific platforms, a release date or even an official title, but given EA’s history, we’d expect the game to be called The Dark Knight, released this July alongside the film, and hit just about every platform known to human kind.

    I don't think that a batman game will be a sucess for the store shelves. But some of my friends are obsessed by collecting batman stuff.

    Had to be done. Why are they making a batman game? I can't imaging many sales, except with little kids.

      They will be riding off the movie. Expect it to be released around the same time. It will make money even if it sucks because people are going to want to play a Batman game after watching the movie.

        Oh, didn't think of that. I guess that it will make more sales because of the movie, I just thought that they were making some random batman game.
