Telltale Games, with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment, today announced an interactive episodic game series based on DC Comics’ iconic Batman™ that is set to premiere in 2016. The official title for the Telltale series is yet to be revealed.
 
The episodic game series will premiere digitally on home consoles, PC/Mac, and mobile devices. Specific platform details are yet to be announced.
 
“At Telltale, we’ve been honored to bring our unique approach to interactive storytelling to some of the biggest entertainment franchises in the world, and we’re excited to announce that we’ll soon be exploring what it means to be Batman in an all-new series starting next year,” said Kevin Bruner, Co-Founder and CEO of Telltale Games. “This iteration of Batman will give fans a first-hand opportunity to dive deeper into the complex life and mind of Bruce Wayne, the duality of his own identity, and the struggle of responsibility in saving a city overcome with corruption and villainy.”
 
“Telltale has an established track record of creating award-winning content for some of the best properties in the world,” said David Haddad, President, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “We look forward to working with the team as they deliver a new interactive way for fans and gamers to experience the rich narrative world of Batman.”
 
Revealed on-stage at The Game Awards 2015 in Los Angeles, the full announcement teaser trailer will be available for online viewing later this week.

Isn't Telltale also working with Marvel?

Can DC do something other than Batman for once???
GhostDog

Can we get a game for a hero besides Batman??? There's a bevy of other heroes out there to adapt.

I'd love a Green Lantern game too for DC.

The first Telltale DC game is Batman.

I bet a $10 that the first Telltale Marvel game will be Iron Man.

Companies have their favorites, like it or not.

They already did a Green Lantern game.

Superman might be too much for a video game, but Wonder Woman, Adam Strange, etc would make for some really fun and creative video games.

Wow WB/DC, [frick] right off. So tired of you only using Batman in every goddamn medium. Grow some [frick]ing balls and imagination and use ALL THE OTHER [frick]ING HEROES AT YOUR DISPOSAL.

I'd take a Deathstroke game from EA. Have it in the same graphic style as Battlefield 4. It's be beautiful.

Batman makes the most sense for Telltale's play style.

Most others would not.
GhostDog
GhostDog - 12/3/2015, 7:13 PM
@Pasto no arguments from me on that. A Deathstroke game would be amazing

Tbh I'd rather see a Telltale game based off of Arrow/Green Arrow.

With what rocksteady has accomplished with the Arkham Series, I hate to be the next company who try to top them, cause Rocksteady has done what ever we can think of in their Arkham series!

From fluid fighting style to predator mode!! awesome boss fight (origins)
With all the batman n other characters skin, we can possibly think of to the multiple bat mobiles, and playable characters !

Good luck telltail.

Telltale doesn't do fighting games, they do point and click related stuff.

Sweet. Tales from the Borderlands is [frick]ing awesome.

Whatever happened to the Marvel one they were doing?

Say what you want about DC but they're undeniably kicking ass when it comes to video games. Even the only good Marvel games are the Lego ones, which are also made by Warner Bros. It could be cool to see them give some love to other characters though (a RockSteady Superman game?)

As a Batnan fan first and foremost, I would be okay if DC changed its name to Batman Comics.
McGee
McGee - 12/3/2015, 7:25 PM
Especially considering DC stands for Detective Comics. Batman's title.
GhostDog
GhostDog - 12/3/2015, 7:26 PM
A Question game would be dope

LOL people hating on this because it's Batman.

While a surprise, it's quite clear 2016 that WB wants a new Batman game and a Superman game.

Batman from Telltale
Superman from WB Montreal

Meanwhile at Marvel video games
