I’d say by now that the older 60’s era campy Batman is no longer the “ideal” version of the character (and hey, I’m old enough to have been around for that original series), so it’s good to see the darker Dark Knight get so fully embraced by the bulk of the fans out there. OK, mostly embraced, as I know there are some REALLY stubborn die-hards who refuse to submit to “gritty” being the new black for their favorite hero. Granted, there IS that exclusive Adam West skin for the PS3 version that’s going to be fun to dink around with (although, I’d also want DLC that adds a ton of those campy full screen sound effects for the combat and you KNOW you want those as well), but I’m going to stick to the cranky newer guy I’m more used to these days. Sometimes, nostalgia needs to have a seat in that comfy chair with its feet up and sleep for a bit in front of whatever old stuff it used to watch on TV…

Yeah, true… but I see it this way: as long as the game is good, they could get Gilbert Gottfried to play Batman and I’d play it.
Wellll, OK… maybe not Gottfried, but as long as WB Montreal didn’t make this a hidden object game or anything goofy like that for this prequel, I can’t hate it for no Conroy. Kind of like I don’t mind Kiefer Sutherland doing Solid Snake and not David Hayter in MGS V…

Yeah and that name alone will be kinda problematic if people stick around to watch the game credits… ;^D
