Batman – The Telltale Series to premiere on August 2nd

Telltale Games and Batman fans rejoice! The five-part, Batman episodic adventure series is scheduled to launch digitally across all platforms in exactly 2 weeks.  Those holding out for a retail Season Pass product will need to chill out until September 13th however.

The first episode (titled “Realm of Shadows”) of the comic-styled new Batman title will officially premiere on August 2nd on PlayStation and Xbox consoles, the PC/Mac and mobile devices.  The voice talent they’ve put together is quite solid, so we’re hoping the writing does the property justice.
