Fresh interpretation of the universe set in current times, not tied to any existing iteration of Batman in games, film, or comics.

Each night, Bruce Wayne chooses to change Gotham for the better.
Batman is the perfect character for the studio to explore in a Telltale series, giving the team the opportunity to dive deeper into the mind of the man behind the mask.
