Walking Dead developer Telltale set to tackle Batman

Robin will remember that. 



One of the more curious announcements to come out of last night's Video Game Awards was the news that Telltale are hard at work on the development of a new Batman game.

Accompanied by a brief, stylish teaser trailer, the announcement didn't showcase any in-game footage or give away any gameplay details, but given Telltale's track record, we think it is safe to assume this will be an episodic adventure. What we don't know is what kind of Batman we'll be getting; will this be an adaptation of the creepy and colourful comic books, or a grounded  realistic take on the character that's more in line with the Nolan movies? In our opinion a sprawling murder mystery, akin to Bat classic The Long Halloween and Dark Victory, would be perfect.

Given Batman's position as the World's Greatest Detective, here's also hoping Telltale see fit to include a few instances of actual puzzle solving, something that's been sorely lacking in their last few releases.

Telltale's Batman is due to his consoles, PC and mobile devices in 2016.
