Gary Oldman spills the beans on Dark Knight game

We're utterly amazed that the game wasn't timed to match the Dark Knight's theatrical release, but we're guessing that the developers had to save something to go along with the movie's eventual DVD debut. What new Batman game, you ask? The one Gary Oldman let out of the bag while being interviewed by the unusually restrained Kristin Holt of G4, of course. She must be as starstruck as the rest of us, because she normally seems to have tapped the energy of a small sun during her bits on Cheat!

Nonetheless, if you were looking for some validation from Commissioner Gordon himself, then you came to the right place. After musing about his supposed "small role" in the game, Oldman talked about how developers were looking to make sure Batman's gliding sequences were as smooth as butter -- or as you techy types like to say, seamless.

While we can't comment on his role in the game, we can gush about how great the movie turned out. If EA (or whoever does this one) can manage to translate that masterpiece into something that works with a controller -- we'll have a slew of other words to describe the experience. Hopefully, it will start with Holy Sh*t, this is the one Batman game to rule them all!

I really don't know how to feel about this game.

I'd take Kirsten Holt over Olivia "deformed lower-face" Munn any day.

Anyway. No matter how great TDK was, the game will most likely be diarrhea.

The laws of the universe state movie-games cannot be good. Sorry.

At least they're not being rushed to push it out the same day as the movie. Maybe the same day as the DVD...which could be just as bad. Here's to hoping.

a gliding level does not bode well.

Movie games suck because the team making them is like "Hey guys, we have 3 months to get this out a week before it hits theaters. Get cracking." I assumed that this game was already out but I guess they're at least taking an extra month or two in the hopes that they can prevent it from being a travesty. Unless it's absolutely fantastic people will inevitably say "It's nowhere near as good as the movie".

Wow, hopefully they can get Heath Ledger to voice The Joker.

If they can't use Heath Ledger's voice, the game will blow.

no i thought it was terrible, i don't know how to feel about this, normally, as stated 100 times above me, movie games suck because their rushed to meet the movies launch BUT if this game isn't following the same standards it has a lot of potential. unless its going to get rushed for the DVD launch :X Holt>Munn

They should just develop this for a while and sit on it... like that new Bourne game. <3

Has there EVER been a good Batman game, since the 16-bit era?

Seriously a batman game that doesn't suck would be amazing. I really want this to work and be fun.... so on and so on.

Well, apparently Batman games have always turn into mashumups or side-scrolling fighters, so when they say the glide mechanic is essential, then you know that they aren't going to screw around like in the past.
