Batman: Beginings THE COMPUTER-GAME official thread
This is where you can post your thoughts about the new Batman game. Personally I think it looks great, and a superb improvement from BATMAN: DARK TOMORROW, which was rather gritty.
What would you guys and gals like to see from this exciting up-coming game? What's the Batmobile gunna be like? Will it be close to the film plot?...
Post your BATMAN: BEGININGS THE GAME chat here! 😆
BATMAN
I honestly don't know.
I know that the villains and plot are very simular to the new film, and the bat-costume, bat-mobile, and stuff like that are the same as in the film.
I hope it's like the spidey games, where it's based on the film but it goes into much more depth. 😄
I can't wait to play this game; you acctually have to intimidate your enemies into doing as you want them to do. They actually FEAR batman, as the common street thugs do in the comics! 😎 😎
GameSpot is reporting that EA has just about wrapped up casting the voices for their Batman Begins video game tie-in. Much like the voice acting Activision’s nailed down for their Spider-Man games, Batman Begins will be utilizing most of the movie’s actual cast, including Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson and Katie Holmes. On the plus side, it’s always nice to have this sort of continuity with adapatations/tie-ins of this sort. On the minus, do we really want to play a Batman game with a love interest involved? Personally, I’m just hoping to be able to break a few legs and scare the piss out of some thugs.Expect to see Batman Begins in video game stores around the same time it’s parent movie hits the theaters, on June 17.

...I can't wait for this.
What Darkcrawler said about having a GTA inviroment would have been cool, but I don't think that's gunna be in this game.
Maybe in the sequal.
Imagine that, everytime you turn on the power you begin at the Batcave, then you have to choose a vehacal and go to Gotham City. Once there, you would be in a complete free roam inviroment. - That would rock.
