After the disappointment of the last Batman movie, Batman & Robin, Warner Bros. are going back to Batman's dark routes with a new caped crusader, Christian Bale. The movie is scheduled for a summer 2005 release, and Electronic Arts have announced that they will be releasing a game based on the new Batman Begins movie for all major consoles.
"The theatrical release of Batman Begins will be the entertainment event of the summer. Leveraging our extensive experience with blockbuster franchises, we look forward to bringing this game to market,"
said Frank Sagnier, Vice President, EA Partners Europe.
"The Batman fiction is rich with style, drama and action - three elements that define this game and will help plunge players into the heart of the experience."
"Batman Begins is the darker depiction of Batman that we've all been waiting for, and we are teaming with EA to bring players an edgy, action game that captures this tale,"
said Jason Hall, Senior Vice President of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.
"Co-publishing Batman Begins allows Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment to continue its involvement in the development and marketing of quality games based on Warner Bros. properties."
"We're thrilled to partner with EA and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment to capture the magic of Batman Begins in a ground-breaking videogame,"
said Paul Levitz, President and Publisher of DC Comics.
"This will mark the first time that a Batman video game has been developed to complement a film event, and we look forward to inviting players to step into the movie's reality and make the world of Batman their own."
The Batman Begins film explores the origins of the Batman legend and the Dark Knight's emergence as a force for good in Gotham. In the wake of his parents' murder, disillusioned industrial heir Bruce Wayne, played by Christian Bale, travels the world seeking the means to fight injustice and turn fear against those who prey on the fearful. He returns to Gotham and unveils his alter-ego: Batman, a masked crusader who uses his strength, intellect and an array of high tech deceptions to fight the sinister forces that threaten the city.
More on Batman Begins as we get it, but in the meantime we have a couple of shots of the new Batmobile for you from the upcoming movie.
