Actor Gary Oldman, who plays Lt. James Gordon in The Dark Knight, has confirmed that a videogame of the film is being made.
He spoke to G4 TV in a video interview - removed from YouTube but reposted on GameTrailers - about making Batman's gliding mechanic feel fluid rather than stop-start in "the videogame".
Oldman stopped short of naming a developer or publisher, but logic would assume this is the much whispered about Pandemic and EA project.
Weirdly, all this was kept under wraps during E3, which also coincided with the launch of The Dark Knight in cinemas.
Anyway, would-be publisher EA still had nothing to say about matters when we spoke to a representative earlier.
Pandemic, of course, is also hard at work on Mercenaries 2 and Lord of the Rings: Conquest, both of which are due out this autumn.

Its being made by SCi Entertainment, I read it in the busines section of the Metro (page 49) today - quote "Games publisher SCi Entertainment said a vital overhaul - which meant axing more than 260 jobs and raising £60 million from shareholders - was on track. Its next Tomb Raider title arrives in November and a Batman game which stars Heath Ledger (pictured) is expected after Christmas"
Hope this helps |

Godfather for wii was pretty great and it had all the parts for failure:
Ea + movie tie in + wii port + messing with original plot = great game somehow |

Good, as long as they don't screw it up like they did Superman Returns. Batman Begins was quite good.

yowch, not a good idea to anger one of the gaming publisher giants Gary. Its like flicking the v's at McD's, they can make it so you never existed.

The new additions to Batman's arsenal in The Dark Knight lend them selves to the creation of a new type of game for Batman to explore.
Personally, I'd love something along the lines of Crackdown - but with a little more focus on the narrative and much more scope for architectural destruction. |

As I watched the film I couldn't help thinking that some bits would work brilliantly in a game : Timed Sticky Bombs, Sky Hook, Sonar Mapping . But I guess we'll get the usual chase scenes, fight scenes and cut scenes like all other movie tie-ins.
