who should develop the next Batman game?

[zero zero nine]

I'm all for Kemco's Batman: Dark Tomorrow... But until I actually play it, I'm going to make a suggestion to Warner Bros.: LICENSE Batman to the makers of Shenmue! Sorry, I forgot who the game creators are. (I'm playing it right now)... Think about it... Great animation, an awesome fighting engine (will need to tweak it for batarangs and such), and the ability to pick up nearly anything in the game! C'mon... Batman's a detective... running and jumping around doesn't cut it anymore...

Well..it looks like it's made by Sega...lol. I can't find any other mark on the box or booklet...

But, I think Ubi-Soft should get the next Batman game. They did a killer job on Vengeance, if they had some missions featuring Robin, Batgirl and Nightwing, it'd rock.

I second the motion.

Sega did make Shenmue, actually AM2 did(a development team within Sega). Although I wouldn't mind Konami getting the Batman license again :)

That's the one thing that has been missing from all Batman games thus far that the games really need: a role-playing element. Seriously. Then it would REALLY rock.

Give it to Konami. Ubi Soft did a good job, but Konami's Batman and Robin Adventures for SNES is still the superior game. Even though it didn't have movie files they incorporated a lot of villains. Joker, Poison Ivy, Penguin, Catwoman, Two-Face, Scarecrow, Riddler, Clayface, and Manbat. Any others I'm forgetting?? They were some awesome parts to that game like grappling on the underside of a blimp, fighting the Riddler in a virtual chess land, and fighting Joker on a moving roller coaster. Still my favorite.

Absolutely agreed. The Adventures of Batman and Robin for SNES is the most superior (although the incorporation of all the villains wasn't all connected into one story like Batman Vengence did). Not only would you do that awesome stuff Tim said, but you've got a whole utility belt of things like that you can do. Like batarang a guy's gun out of his hand and toss him across the room. The best!

I hope Kemco does a million times better than the great job Ubi Soft did with Vengence (and of course the story is going to rule cuz I think DC will be writing it) but if I had a chance to give the license to someone else, it would be Konami hands down.

And while you're at it, could SOMEONE PLEASE get Nightwing into a game!!?? I can use emulators, VCRs or whatever to get all the screenshots I could want, but NONE of them would be of Nightwing!

Maybe something like BLIZZARD did with The Death And Return of Superman for SNES, where you use more than one character, and have an open fighting engine. That'd be nice...

Oh yes, the SNES version still seems better to me than Vengeance, and I enjoyed Vengeance! The SNES game just seemed to have more variety. I'd be all for Konami doing it... then again, I'm not sure if the people who did that are mostly the guys from Konami who broke off to form Treasure (maker of GREAT games no one has ever heard of, like Stretch Panic). Then again, I think the original creators of Castlevania split with Treasure (in fact, I think being forced to make Castlevania sequels is what caused the split, according to rumor), and most of the subsequent Castlevania games have been great. So we'll see.
