Six Reasons We Don't Want a Dark Knight Video Game

For the first time in forever, there isn't a video game for the new Batman film (yet). Here's why that's a great thing.

6. LEGO Batman's Coming Soon

With so many games coming out this year, we have room for only one Batman game, and we're more than happy with the LEGO offering. Playing as Batman, Robin, Joker, Penguin and Catwoman, all LEGO-ized, sounds more enticing than any Dark Knight video game.

Would you want a Dark Knight video game?

To the person who said that maybe we could "break the trend and make movies off of video games"...umm...it's been done...and let me tell you, that sucks a lot worse. So let's just stick with making movies movies, and making games games, how about that?

I think we all can wait awhile .. hopefully the Dark K***ht Returns or any of the 1986+ Dark K***ht stories can add more to the game .... also, they can keep screwing up other games for now ... I want my Batman game to be the **** ...

it would be cool if the made it for ps3 the grafics would be awsome and they could add some more battles as long as u have the main idea it would make a good game they can even make 2 face come back after he fell off the building to that would make it longer SOOO MAKE ONE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and i know it was sad when heath legder died but it would be another way to recinize him

Hey!!! Hey!!! do you see Titanic as a video game? NO!!!, do you see the Green Mile as a game???? NO, and Big Fish??? No.... ALL GREAT MOVIES DONT HAVE VIDEO GAMES. Save Heath Ledger the respect, and dont make a ****ing video game of the dark k***ht. AND EVEN IF THEY DID..... the people who make condemed should make it.

The best thing that a Batman game should do is pull a Spider-Man 2 and have it free roaming with random crimes happening, plus since it's Batman, let the player be able to use all of the Bat vehicles and incorporate his gadgets into how you get around Gotham. I'd want to see that.

I DO BELIEVE WITH ALOT OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. IF THIS WAS GOING TO WORK AS A GAME AT ALL. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IN PROGRESS ALREADY!!! THE BEST IDEA I CAN THINK OF, IS TO SPLICE SOME MOVIE SCENES IN THE GAME LIKE THE LORD OF THE RINGS GAMES HAVE DONE!!! HOWEVER. GETTING A PROPER GAMING SEQUENCE WOULD BE COOL. FOR EXAMPLE. FIGHTING STREET CRIMINALS AND GOING ON DIFFERENT MISSIONS PERHAPS 10 DIFFERENT ONES IN ALL. WHILE BEING TAUNTED BY THE JOKER AND FACING HIM THROUGHOUT THE GAME CLIMAXING IN A "FINALE" IN THE LAST LEVEL??? JUST A THOUGHT:JUSTYN
