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.

5. Batman Begins is meh.

Electronic Arts' Batman Begins is woefully average, despite our writer's delusional review. This sub par beat-em-up features bland combat, linear missions, stupid artificial intelligence and lackluster driving sequences. Seeing as how it doesn't do the film justice, we don't feel any developer would be able to capture Dark Knight's magic.

Would you want a Dark Knight video game?

most superhero games suck when they are released in time for the movie. But no the ones released later like that oen hulk game or spider man 2.

ok.......I agree with reason #5 but come on.......................Howd do they still do the voice of mickey mouse after about 70 years? or scooby doo? or bugs bunny and daffy duck? come on....not that hard! And every time I read one of these game daily oponions....they NEVER make any sense...........you "critics" could do much better than this!

there were lots of parts in the movie that they couldnt recreate in the game like the pencil ttrick and the part where the people on the boat cant decide what to do

some of these reasons don't make sense, 5... just because you think the creators of one game sucked at their job doesn't mean they'll be coming back to make the second one. 4...joker 'recruits' tons of psychos and ordinary citizens to do his bidding so they shouldn't be any change in storyline. the one with legos...whats so awesome about playing lego batman would you could have human batman? are the lego games fun anyways? i don't have a wii so i don't care bout that. as for the "all superhero games suck" i would say to each his own opinion. although i do agree bout the heath ledger voice thing though. that'd be weird gettin someone else...
