Batman Returns, released twenty-five years ago today on June 19th, 1992 was the last Tim Burton directed, Micheal Keaton starring movie before the franchise was torpedoed by Joel Schumacher and eventually rebooted by Christopher Nolan in 2005 with Batman Begins. Though perhaps not remembered as fondly as Burton’s first outing with DC’s iconic character in 1989, it’s…
Available today for Batman: Arkham Knight is a new update that gives access to the Batmobile as it appeared in the first two Tim Burton films: Batman and Batman Returns, along with a costume for the Dark Knight that transforms him into Micheal Keaton. Unlike last month’s Batgirl DLC, those who didn’t purchase the Season Pass will not have to wait…
For those who purchased the Batman: Arkham Knight Season Pass, August won’t see anything meaty like the Batgirl story DLC that launches today, but it still has some pretty neat stuff for hardcore Batman fans. The most interesting addition is the 1989 Batmobile pack which not only brings two new tracks inspired by Batman Returns, but a skin for…
June is here and we’re a just a few measly weeks from the release of Rocksteady and WB Games closing chapter in the Arkham saga: Batman: Arkham Knight.

When it came to adapting Batman’s escapades from the big screen in video game format the first time around, Sunsoft more or less had the monopoly on the character, producing games on everything from the NES, Game Boy and Sega Genesis. For the sequel to Batman, aptly named Batman Returns, the video game licensing was shared…

With the release of Disney Infinity, I’ve been reading a lot of great stories on various web sites about adults recovering the joy they had playing with action figures as a kid, a sentiment I’m definitely feeling even after only putting a few hours into the 2.0 edition yesterday evening. With the anticipation I felt…
When it comes to movie tie-in games, the Dark Knight has a pretty great track record.
