I meant to talk about this the other day but with the current release of the JUSTICE LEAGUE: CRISIS ON TWO EARTHS movie I was sort of busy. Well, it looks like Warner Bros is going to come out with a video game for the BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD property. The video game, for now, will be available for the Wii & Nintendo DS. Here's what the Official Press Release from Warner Brothers Games sort -of says:
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, on behalf of DC Comics, announces Batman: The Brave and the Bold the Videogame, an action-adventure videogame based on the popular animated series, available this Autumn for Wii™ and Nintendo DS™. In the game, fans play alongside Batman and many of his allies in the DC UNIVERSE to take on dozens of popular villains.
Batman: The Brave and the Bold the Videogame fully immerses fans into the vivid animated world of the successful TV series where kids can play as Batman or together with family and friends in two-player co-op mode. Players can choose from iconic characters ROBIN, GREEN LANTERN, BLUE BEETLE, along with drop-in heroes such as AQUAMAN to help solve puzzles and fight foes.
The game provides maximum replay value to those who own both the Wii and Nintendo DS versions by allowing them to connect the two systems to unlock BAT-MITE as a playable character. Players can control him with the Nintendo DS to wreak havoc or fight alongside the main characters in all levels of the Wii videogame.
Batman: The Brave and the Bold the Videogame further illustrates the diverse appeal of the Batman brand and the gameplay is a fun, vibrant extension of the animated series,” said Samantha Ryan, Senior Vice President of Development and Production, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.The game’s co-op play offers kids, families and Batman fans an interactive way of experiencing the cartoon’s iconic characters.”
In Batman: The Brave and the Bold the Video Game, players embark on an exciting journey through crime-filled alleys, alien planets, abandoned underground cities and mysterious laboratories. Further lending to the authentic cartoon feel of the game is the inclusion of Batman’s iconic gadgets such as Batarangs and his Grapnel Gun.
Alright Boys & Girls! Last night, when the February 11th Bat-Blog Contest ended just after midnight, we randomly picked a very LUCKY WINNER from our pile of blind numbers! The Winner was sort of a surprise to me because he has entered our wacky contests many many times & has never won...until NOW! I know when he hears the news he will just simply say, "Finally!", ha ha! The Winner, of the Brand-New ( Shrink-Wrapped ) XBOX 360 Lego Batman Video Game is... John S. of Las Vegas, Nevada!! Sir, you are the SUPER-WINNER!! Please contact us so we can confirm your mailing address information & we will get this baby in the mail for you. To everyone else that didn't win, I'm sorry. But please be sure to stay tuned to the Bat-Blog because we're gonna have a lot more contests coming up! Also, after some time as gone by, we will have another contest like this one for another one of these games. I wanna thank everyone who entered & I want to especially congratulate John again on winning this cool game, you ROCK, Sir!!
Oh YES Boys & Girls, it's time again for another World Famous BAT-BLOG CONTEST & this time we're giving away a FREE Brand-New, Still Shrink-Wrapped, MINT Copy of LEGO BATMAN: THE VIDEO GAME for the XBOX 360!! This item was donated by a good citizen of the Bat-Blog named "BATFAN". Because of his supreme generosity we're able to give away a free copy of this extremely cool video game. Now, please keep in mind that we ONLY have the game in the "XBOX 360 format". So, if you're a "Playstation Person" then you'll have to pass on this, sorry. But most people have both consoles so that's cool. Plus, did I say FREE? I mean, we even pay the postage, ha ha! Whoops, I almost forgot to mention, this Video Game also has another game bundled with it ( it's a double feature ) called PURE, which is an "off-road, quad-bike trick-racing" game. Now I guess for legal reasons, maybe, I gotta say that this contest is in NO WAY connected to Warner Bros, DC Comics, Disney, XBOX, or any Video Game Company. This is just a way for us to share some fun with our Loyal Bat-Blog Readers ( who ROCK, by the way! ) NOW, TO ENTER: All you have to do is send us an email with your full Name/Address & put "XBOX 360 LEGO BATMAN" in the title. The contest ends on February 11th, 2010 at 11:59pm, Central Time. Just after midnight we will randomly pick a winner out of a hat....while blind-folded & standing on one leg. It's that easy to win & everybody gets a fair chance! The Winner will be announced right here on the very next day. One last thing, this contest is happening because of the extreme generosity of one special Bat-Blog Fan so I wanna thank him personally, "Thank You BATFAN, You're The BEST!!"

Here's one of those weird videos where some Gamer takes a video game & replaces a few of the character models with different people. They're called MODS. This one is a WWE Wrestling Match with Batgirl & The Joker, ha ha ha!
Sony Entertainment just sent the following Press Release for their new DC UNIVERSE ONLINE Video Game ( with DC Comics ) & it's AWESOME news:
Victor Fries devoted his life to the hopeless task of curing his beloved wife, Nora from a fatal disease. He keeps her body frozen in suspended animation hoping that one day his experiments will cure her. One such experiment exposed him to a hail of super-coolants that altered his body chemistry. In order to survive, the brilliant cryogenicist must now be encased in his supercooled suit whenever the outside temperature is above sub-zero.
Although Batman offered to help Victor Fries, now known as Mr. Freeze, he refused because he was convinced that his own failures to save his wife are the fault of Gotham's Dark Knight. Armed with his Freeze Gun, Mr. Freeze partners with other criminals to steal the money he needs for his experiments and diamonds to power his freeze suit.
To celebrate I posted their Official MR. FREEZE DCU Wallpaper plus one that I created this morning ( the 2nd one ). Enjoy!
Surprise! The sequel to the best super hero game of all time is on the way. That game of course is BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM!!

The temporary title is "Arkham Asylum 2" but it looks like it will feature Gotham City as the playing ground...can't wait! This Teaser Trailer looks great! Please be sure to stay tuned to the Bat-Blog for all future Batman Gaming News!
