Monolith Productions has announced a new Gotham City game where, apparently, you can not be Batman nor the Joker. No, I am not kidding, you cant be either of those characters, because who would want to do that when you can be some random Batman obsessed lesser cool, copy-cat vigilantly instead? Basically you can play as one of many ” impostors,” much like the ones seen in the latest Batman movie. Of course ,what good is a Gotham City game which you can NOT actually play as the Batman without NOT being able to actually play as the Joker as well? You can, however, play as inferior “Joker Impostors” in this newly announced shooter for XBLA and PSN. What’s next wonders PatMan, a Transformers game set on Cyberton where you cant play as a giant transforming robot, but maybe one of those lesser and cheaper “impostor Go-Bots” instead ? Or a Star Wars game where , instead of playing as a Jedi Knight you can play as that fat kid of the internet ” the star-wars kid”, and fall all over the place as an impostor Jedi? The possibilities are endless, really. All kidding aside , there is little info about Gotham City Impostors as of yet. However, a shooter staring BatMan and Joker “Wannabes” just doesn’t get me interested. How about you?

There is a large group of media actually playing this today. So far it sounds crazy enough to capture my interest. Price I think is going to be the largest determining factor. Oh and to those of you saying this doesn't fit into the Batman universe and or commercial license, piss off. If it's good fun then I don't care if it isn't canon. Then again I am probably the last person to ask about canon on anything.
If I can play as an Adam West Batman impostor it may be very well worth the price of admission, to kill my Joker impostors with my Bat Dance moves !…. "Pure West" No plastic bat Suits baby !
Yeah that would get me on board instantly even in the 15 dollar range. As long as there was a guest appearance by imposter Kato. I am talking Bruce Lee Kato, not that other schmuck.
Canon doesn't bother me as much one of the most blatant cash ins on a licence I've ever heard of. Like they're too afraid to just put an original multiplayer shooter IP out there without some hook like Batman. Sigh. It just makes me so mad.
Everything is very open with a really clear explanation of
the challenges. It was really informative. Your website is useful.
Many thanks for sharing!
