The team at Telltale hit the stage in Austin at the SXSW Gaming Expo today along with Kinda Funny’s Greg Miller, to come out of hiding and talk details about the upcoming series based on BATMAN for the very first time. While development has been moving along swiftly over the last year, production on in-game visuals for all of Telltale’s series always tends to come together closer to launch, as the writers and designers spend their time focusing very heavily on the story and script first and foremost.
It’s still too soon to show any scenes from the game, but the team was happy to confirm that players can expect to see it closer to its upcoming premiere which is slated for THIS SUMMER! Additional details gathered from the panel were as follows:
- Batman is the perfect character for the studio to explore in a Telltale series, giving the team the opportunity to dive deeper into the mind of the man behind the mask. Each night, Bruce Wayne chooses to change Gotham for the better. The team wants to explore what the consequences are of the player’s actions when decisions made as Bruce have a critical impact on his nightly crusade as Batman, and vice versa. Certain key situations will give the player the decision to approach a scene as Bruce or Batman, with consequences for both sides.
- Fresh interpretation of the universe set in current times, not tied to any existing iteration of Batman in games, film, or comics. Story will focus on Bruce and Batman, not an examination of the extended 'Bat-family,' (Robin, Nightwing, etc.) Fans can expect certain series staples such as Alfred Pennyworth, Vicki Vale, James Gordon, and Renee Montoya. Telltale is looking to keep the villains more tightly under wraps until closer to the premiere.
- Certain characters will have a deeply personal relationship with Bruce in his private life, and decisions made as Bruce or Batman will affect their paths towards corruption or redemption.
- The player's actions will help shape the Gotham that Bruce deals with during the day, as well as the criminals that Batman faces at night.
- Team is committing to a non-photorealistic interpretation of the universe, enhancing engine and technology to deliver a more seamless living comic book art direction. Taking inspiration from the works of over 75 years of artists such as Jim Lee, Greg Capullo, and Neal Adams.
- Like some other Telltale series, the game will be landing at M (Mature 17+) rating, and the cinematic approach will feel more akin to an R-rated film.

I would like to thank Christopher Nolan for changing the Batman brand's direction. I feel like he's the one that has made WB and DC realize just how dark of a character he is and everyone else is following suit. I love it. Can't wait to play this. I hope it's dark as hell. figuratively speaking of course.

Yes it is, games look and play like shite. Also if you have played one you've played them all. Don't really get the hype with Telltale, alright story's in a shite game.

Batman was killing people in comics 60 years before Nolan ever touched it. Not even Batman has to be grimdark 24/7, there's more to the character than that.

That's like saying games like the Witcher are glorified novels. I play games like that solely for the storyline.

Except the Witcher has more gameplay then all of Telltale games combined (excluding Minecraft which isn't even theirs). Also has a better story thats not based off another's IP.

It's based off of nordic mythology. Same thing as basing a story off of a comic book essentially. They didn't necessarily have to make anything up.
I realize there's actual gameplay in the Witcher, but to say Telltale products aren't video games is an absolute farce. Tales from the Borderlands was one of the best games of 2015.

Well, except for the Polish novels, comic books, board/tabletop games, and tv show...
But I'm not a fan of the telltale games either. I respect the genre, though. I just want more than a good story.

If it's anything like the GoT Telltale games then I'll buy.
And yes, they are games. Just like early RPGs were when it was limited "gameplay" and more so logic/situation selection. Some of y'all need to get a grip.
