Let's face it. Nearly every Batman game to date has been a total failure. It could be from the lack of technical development, sloppy gameplay mechanics, or juvenile plot layout. Whatever it was, it didn't adopt the true atmosphere of the first Batman movies. My favorite Batman movie of all-time would have to be Batman Returns. It may be b/c I'm a little old-fashioned, but I still don't think it gets the credit it deserves. I mean, u have Danny Devito as Penguin, Michelle Pffiefer as Catwoman, and Michael Keaton as Batman (who I believe to be the perfect actor for the role). He looks intense, intelligent, and athletic, but not too bulky. His acting just fits perfect for the role with his calm and cool attitude with a thoughtful and wise persona. It's just superb acting all around with Tim Burton's dark and gritty vision of Gotham, instead of the immature low-budget stage-like atmosphere in Batman & Robin, and Batman Forever. I just hope the game goes above and beyond the standards, mainly b/c I'm buying this game when it first hits the shelves.
