Where's the TDK game? Aug. 7, 2008
Source: CNN
by: Mike Sampson

At the rate it's going THE DARK KNIGHT could surpass TITANIC as the all-time leading box-office winner in about two months. It's a movie that has a ridiculous amount of toys lined up on the shelves of Wal-Mart and Toys 'R Us. But one thing that is blatantly missing from all this cashing in, is a tie-in video game. CNN has a great article on the phenomena finally getting a mole within Electronic Arts (who holds the rights to a DARK KNIGHT game) to admit that a game was in the works but scrapped somewhere along the line. Why exactly the game was dropped isn't exactly known but speculation runs from Heath Ledger's death to the poor performance of the BATMAN BEGINS game. But every Batman movie along the way has had a video game (even BATMAN AND ROBIN!) so it seems a little odd that the best Batman film of all-time, arguable the best superhero movie of all-time and potentially the biggest movie of all-time doesn't have a video game. There was some thought that EA could resurrect the game for a release in line with the DVD but the same mole from EA said there is nothing in the works from now until March of 2009. So do you miss having a DARK KNIGHT game? Would you want EA to continue making their game or would you rather not even bother? You can read more about the TDK game at CNN.

Extra Tidbit: You can play the original NES BATMAN game here.

Movie-based games are mostly meh. Same goes for Game-based movies. Except for Mortal Kombat. Christopher Lambert was the shit.

ASSASSINS CREED!
this game BETTER be fucking awesome and really needs to be done with the assassins creed game engine, you feel like batman running along rooftops in that game and the graphics are beautiful, just change it to night time, add an awesome flowing cape and grapple gun and add a lot more interesting DETECTIVE based gameplay, they will never get this right but a man can dream...

THAT'S ACTUALLY NOT TRUE
I don't know what the hell this supposed EA mole is talking about, but almost every single outlet of the gaming press has noted that the TDK game is STILL UNDER DEVELOPEMENT. EA is just trying to keep really tight wraps on it, and this seems like they might be feeding misinformation to CNN. When last I checked the game was due out in late 2009.

This is the start of an awesome new trend of BIG development houses putting out movie tie-ins that aren't shitty and rushed.

looking forward to this one though..

they could make a Batman game to transition into a new story for the film. For example, if they wanted to introduce new villians, or Robin, they could do that in a game before exploring that possibility in a film, where the risk is much greater in the film versus that of just a video game.

If they take their time to do it, a TDK Game could be great. Something of a cross between Assassin's Creed and Metal Gear Solid.

and BTW, Batman NES was awesome, but damn it was hard.

WAS WONDERING ABOUT THIS MYSELF..
I don't think EA could've delivered something as multi-layered as The Dark Knight's story for a simple "stealth, punch and drive" video game that would've inevitably turned out to be shite.

I think we should all feel fortunate that there is no weak-assed video game tie-in for this film. Does there have to be one for every major comic film release?

KNIGHT'S CREED
Maverick152004 is spot on. I thought that Assassin's Creed would perfectly turn into a Dark Knight game. More fighting and make it darker. Let's get it going people!

DON'T BOTHER
movie tie-in games are mostly shit .
if do it now, then it’ll be a rush job, and it‘ll suck anyways.

Why do people have the need to play games based on movies?
watching a great movie is a cool experience , and playing crappy tie in games will only damper the overall experience (like most of the star wars games) .
Hope u 're reading this George "i wanna squeeze more money out of the fans" Lucas!!!!!!
