Dark Knight Game Exists

 

EA insider and movie actor Oldman confirm title; Analyst Pachter estimates lack of release has cost Warner & EA $100m

 

An officially licensed Dark Knight game does exist – according to both an insider at EA studio Pandemic and Batman movie actor Gary Oldman.

 

No evidence of the game tie-in has been offered by either Electronic Arts or franchise owner Warner Bros.

 

The movie release has smashed Box Office records to take over $400m – and actor Heath Ledger is widely tipped to win a posthumous Oscar for his portrayal of The Joker.

 

However, an EA insider told the Associated Press that the title was in development at Pandemic Studios – speaking under the condition of anonymity.

 

In addition, Gary Oldman – who plays Gotham City police officer James Gordon in the movie – said in a recent interview that he had seen a “tiny little piece” of the official game.

 

He described a sequence with Batman 'realistically gliding across rooftops'. Oldman also said the game is supposed to feel like it "doesn't stop and start."

 

According to AP: ʽSpeculation about the cause for the disappearing act has included missed deadlines, Heath Ledger's death, questionable quality and poor sales projections.ʼ

 

MCV has contacted Warner Bros and EA for more information.

 

It isn't the first time that EA hasn't matched a major superhero movie released with an official, simultaneous game adaptation of a licence it has rights to.
