So is this just a Batman game with JLA characters in it? Or can you actually play as some JLA members? Or will it be you can't play as them, but can have them as sort of "party members" on certain missions?

Damn, a Batman Brave and the Bold game based on that idea might be cool..where you get to pick another super hero to come along with you. I know there's games based off the series, but they probably didn't utilize the idea to it's full potential.

I assume these are rethorical questions? Because you're probably going to have to wait a year or so for answers.

Ugh, I hate when they throw other DC characters into Batman games.

Just stick to the Batman universe, Rocksteady!

IDGAS about WW, Superman.

I hope you can play the other characters.
Otherwise it will be like
"Watch this guy with a magic ring doing cool stuff, watch this guy run at superspeed, watch this guy fly and punch through buildings....now go punch a dude and throw a batarang, loser."

Is believed? This is nothing more than a rumor then.

The rumor that is reported on other sites is that RS is working on another Batman title that's a prequel. Based around Batman's first meeting with the Joker, all while the game takes place during the silver age.

More Batman is all I care about. Bring it on.

...That said, I love the silver age idea.

I honestly think the more info is released, it'll be revealed to be a more of a JL game than a Batman game. I'm thinking they're just using the "Batman series prequel" spiel to kind of garner more attention, given the series was multi-award winning.

I never got the feeling that the Bat-universe Rocksteady works in is the right place for the JLA. They may go and make it right though.
