Tag: Batman: The Telltale Series

Briefly: The explosive first episode of Batman: The Telltale Series finally (finally) released to gamers early last month, and Telltale has now revealed just when we’ll be able to don the cowl once again.

The upcoming second episode will be titled ‘Children of Arkham’, and will drop digitally, worldwide on September 20th. Just two more weeks to go!

Rendered to look like a living, breathing comic book, Telltale’s vision of Batman features an award-winning cast of talent, including Troy Baker in the role of Bruce Wayne, Travis Willingham as Harvey Dent, Erin Yvette as Vicki Vale, Enn Reitel as Alfred Pennyworth, Murphy Guyer as Lieutenant James Gordon,Richard McGonagle as Carmine Falcone, Jason Spisak as Oswald Cobblepot,and Laura Bailey as Selina Kyle. Additional cast and characters will be revealed as the season progresses.

The company hasn’t debuted a trailer or synopsis for the next episode just yet, but I imagine we could see it at any point now.

Take a look at the key art for the episode below, and be sure to let us know what you thought about episode one!

Briefly: We’ve been waiting for this one for what seems like forever (though it was actually just revealed in December of 2015), but following that fantastic first trailer from SDCC, the first chapter in the anticipated series is now available.

This first chapter is called Realm of Shadows, and the game is available for PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Windows, OS X, iOS, and Android, so if you’re a Batman fan at all, even if you’re not a gamer, you have no reason to miss out on this one.

“Creating an entirely original story surrounding the man behind the mask and challenging players to take on the role of Bruce Wayne just as much as the mythic Batman has resulted in one of our most sophisticated Telltale series yet,” said Kevin Bruner, CEO, Co-Founder of Telltale Games. “Our game will explore all aspects of Bruce’s life, from his tense encounters in public with Gotham City’s most notorious criminals by day, to his thrilling chases across the rooftops at night, players will think twice about their choices and consequences in a city that’s always watching the actions of its most famous billionaire.”

“Telltale Games is renowned for its unique style of interactive storytelling, which is a great match for the incredibly iconic character of Batman,” said David Haddad, President, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “We are excited to further expand our partnership with Telltale to bring fans an entirely new way to experience the many layers of Bruce Wayne’s story.”

You’re looking at a cool $29.99 for the season pass, and you should hear our thoughts on the title soon on the Geekscape Games podcast. Take a look at the game’s trailer below, and be sure to let us know if you’ll be playing this one!

Briefly: We saw the gorgeous first screenshots for Batman – The Telltale Series back at E3 this June, and most of us here at Geekscape have been basically foaming at the mouth over the potential for this title ever since.

Today, on the eve of San Diego Comic-Con’s Preview Night, the company has released the first full trailer, and the only appropriate response is “Wow.”

It’s tough to guess at just what impossible choices are in store for us throughout the five episode series, but with the towering Gotham City on the line instead of, say, a group of survivors amidst the undead apocalypse, we can guarantee that none of your options will be easy ones.

Rendered to look like a living, breathing comic book, Telltale’s vision of Batman will feature an award-winning cast of talent, including Troy Baker in the role of Bruce Wayne, Travis Willingham as Harvey Dent, Erin Yvette as Vicki Vale, Enn Reitel as Alfred Pennyworth, Murphy Guyer as Lieutenant James Gordon, Richard McGonagle as Carmine Falcone, and Laura Bailey as Selina Kyle. Naturally, additional cast and characters will be revealed as the season progresses.

The first episode of the series, titled Realm of Shadows, is set to debut on August 2nd, and Telltale will be hosting an event at this week’s SDCC where they’ll be showing off gameplay for the very first time. Take a look at the game’s trailer below, and be sure to let us know what you think!

Briefly: Finally.

At last year’s fantastic The Game Awards. Telltale Games surprised gamers everywhere by announcing a Batman game. At the time, a mysterious trailer was revealed, and that’s basically it. The trailer showed no actual footage, and the game didn’t even have a title at that point.

As you could probably guess, the game is called Batman: The Telltale Series, and ahead of its official reveal at E3 later this week, Telltale has revealed the first screenshots from the title, as well as the game’s principal cast.

Telltale notes that “Telltale’s vision of Batman will feature an award-winning cast of talent, including Troy Baker in the role of Bruce Wayne, Travis Willingham as Harvey Dent, Erin Yvette as Vicki Vale, Enn Reitel as Alfred Pennyworth, Murphy Guyer as Lieutenant James Gordon, Richard McGonagle as Carmine Falcone, and Laura Bailey as Selina Kyle. Additional cast and characters will be revealed as the season progresses.”

The look of the game is described as “a living, breathing comic book,” and it’s pretty easy to see that Batman is likely Telltale’s best looking game thus far:

The game will debut on home consoles, PC/Mac, and mobile devices, and E3 attendees will get a first look at the game this week.

“We’ve been hard at work at Telltale creating an all-new iteration of the iconic Batman story that puts players in the suit of billionaire Bruce Wayne, just as much as it will put them behind the mask, deciding how to carefully navigate a complex drama, rich with action, crime, corruption, and villainy lurking around every corner of Gotham City,” said Kevin Bruner, Co-Founder and CEO of Telltale Games. “The complex life and fractured psyche of Bruce Wayne has lent itself to becoming a bold evolution of the signature ‘Telltale’ role-playing experience, and we couldn’t be more excited as we prepare to debut the series to players across the world this summer.”
