Batman - The Telltale Series

Robert pattinson batman simulator

I love these interactive games. They are so immersive, with memorable Characters. This has a great story too. Just wish they were longer

i guess you dont play telltale game for gameplay but the story is 5/5. WOW

An interactive story line game that keeps you guessing on your own decisions. Love it

A Batman experience that is only rivaled by the sequel:
Batman: The telltale series is one of if not the best Batman story on the market, for a game that is 14$ i expected less but this game delivered in all the best ways. Most characters have experienced a revamp that 99.9% of the time works great! While they're are no separate endings don't let that fool you because the choices in this game matter a great deal and can even be carried over into the second season if you so chose. The detective sequences don't hold your hand and actually make you piece it together instead of just having to scan it and batman links it for you, we all know the memes but this game... MAKES YOU FEEEEEEL LIKE BATMAN. This is easily in my top 5 favorite games!
Technical errors: the first chapter of the game had some frame stuttering but after the first chapter it doesn't happen for the rest of the game.
Gameplay/story flaws: 0 story flaws that aren't just me being a picky comic nerd that's mad they don't call Harvey "Two-Face" more than once. The gameplay flaws are simple things like the fact that I found the game easy but since this is a telltale game and not friggin' dark souls ill let it slide while the combat is cool to look at the prompts get in the way of the masterful animation. There's not much to not like about this game, It's damn near perfect.

(PS: the music in this game is peak!)

FINAL RATING: 5/5 MT APPROVED INTERACTIVE MASTERPIECE!

(Note: all the choices I did were overall good and I will possible edit the review after I do my evil/frank miller Batman playthrough see you then!)

A must play for Batman fans. Telltale has their own take on the Dark Knight we know and love, and it'll SHOCK you.
If you haven't played this one yet, I'll be honest... I think it's just as good as SEASON 1 of Telltale's THE WALKING DEAD (shoutout to Robert Kirkman, Skybound AND Image Comics) and THE WOLF AMONG US (another DC property under the Vertigo label).
I highly recommend it.

Choose the kind of Batman you want to be, and Gotham will bear witness.

(For reference, I bought this game 3 times. 1 time for each system I wanted to play the game on.)

good game..
good choices..
hope they could make more of this..

It's a fun game and I enjoyed playing it during my dance recitals.

This is a good Batman experience. Some parts of the story do feel rushed and not fully fleshed out but the characters are well written and is worth a playthrough. Unfortunately the choices in this title are of little importance, you will be led down the same path whatever you choose as I discovered on my second playthrough. There are only a couple that change the gameplay and a handful that carry over into the second game. Despite this, I recommend playing through this game and then strongly recommend playing the sequel "The Enemy Within". The sequel bests this title in every way but the first game is a solid foundation to introduce you to the world and the characters of Batman. The game will take you roughly 7-8 hours. 7/10 - good.

Great Batman interactive movie

Telltale <3

I enjoy Batman, but I wouldn't really say I'm a fan. This game, however, made me reconsider that stance. Telltale did a great job with this title, and I felt it was very well worth both my time and my money.

good

funny batman

Really well done story and voice acting. Troy Baker does a wonderful job as both Bruce and Batman and of course Dave Finnoy stars again as Lucius Fox. I enjoy having the ability to choose if Batman is unmerciful, or rather a less brutal hero. Story keeps you well entertained.

Batman. More like Buttman.

Game so good that it made me batman

the story wont make u bore its the best so many twist

the combat made me batman

gonna buy the dlc in the future

why no one talks about this masterpiece

This game gives you an interesting perspective into the psyche of a few Batman characters, and the story and choices are great. Highly recommended

Harvey became my main motivation after a while for this game. Literally hardcore simped for him.

Batman - The Telltale Series was a huge "Let's see where this goes" feeling. The story was what got me excited to see whats to come... One of the cool story choices on the DC product.

Hell yes, one of the best tell tale games I've played

i will never recover from plot twists

Not the best Batman or Telltale story ever, but does enough on both fronts to warrant checking out.

It's hard to feel accomplished when all is said and done, but it's a damn engaging journey throughout, and a worthy way to kill some time.

Currently on my second play-though of this game as I prepare to play the equal in the series so I think that says a fair bit about my opinion. Honestly I think this is an interesting take on the Batman lore and character along with giving the player plenty of time and chances to play as Bruce himself. (Which is one of my personal favourite aspects of the game as a fan of the comics.)

This is a Telltale game, obviously. I mean, it's in the title, but I bring attention to this because if you've never played a Telltale game or similar variations on the episodic narrative focused genre, then you'll be disappointed by the mechanics. QuickTime events are what you'll be interacting with the most when taking out the time sensitive dialogue choosing portion of the game. As someone who is a massive fan of these kinds of games and has played them for years, this is no problem for me, but people who are maybe wanting a Batman game in the same vein as the Arkham games, you will not find this here mechanically!

My only wish is that the choices you made a bit more impact or had more of a change on the story, but alas that is how most of these games go with the illusion of choice and along with having to most likely stick to a character outline of what Bruce/Batman is allowed to be seen doing by DC and then the even stricter hand of WB.

With an incredibly interesting story and some new takes on familiar characters, I feel that this game is most definitely worth your time if you're a fan of the Bat.

Good story

Love this. Been waiting on a new one for years. Story was really unique and surprising the first time through.

I forgot how good this game is. Super creative take on the universe and Season 2 has genuinely my favorite adaptation of the joker. It's different as hell and so well done.

so bravely to make a story like this. this game reminded me of detroit and made me fall in love with it. highly recommend you to experience it.

An interesting multiple take on the batman franchise, so interesting that I may even replay it with the Shadows Edition (black and white) as I feel I have made some poor, yet fun and enlightening decisions during this play.

The Enemy Within version is much more advanced and worth playing, but I still really enjoyed this one aswell

10/10, great game (if you're a narrative game fan). that's all there is to say

the huzz left me, but the day 1 main huzz Alfred stayed with me!

This game has a good story to it, but your decissions don't feel like they do much in the end. Also there are a few glitches with the graphics that never got fixed, mainly whenever Jim Gordian is smoking a cigarette, it's very noticeable and kinda distracting

An amazing batman game. The story is really interesting. It feels like a classic batman comic but one that you can make choices in that impact the story. If you don't like the style of teltales games then you probably won't like this but if you're like me who loves teltale games and loves batman games you won't be disapointed,

i love how tell tale tells tales its very unique because i love tales and tell tale tells this tale perfect did i mention tell tale is good at telling tales

Really good game! Love how the story playes out after the choices you make!

Really great game for any Telltale or Batman enthusiast. Great story and interactions!

It's Batman story mode. Decent but typical TellTale game.

Great game with tough choices to make along the way and all of the episodes were enjoyable.

A very good game! Though not as good as it's sequel. Its hard to come back to this one after experiencing it's sequel and how much it was kicked up. I still recommend it, if not just to catch up on the story for the second game.

Amazing Story And Graphics, Loved the Characters and dialogue, animations were sometimes goofy, Still Pretty Good

Recommended
8/10

The most interesting thing about this title is that it might be the first "Bruce Wayne" game, at least it's the first one I've ever encountered. You'll likely spend at least as much time as Wayne as you will behind the iconic cowl in this title, which allows for some interesting storytelling.

Otherwise this is the standard "Choose Your Own Adventure" book type game that Telltale became famous for. Most of the decisions you make will be in the form of time-sensitive dialog choices. The game giving you a few seconds to decide whether you want your Bruce/Batman to be more noble and empathetic, brutal and brooding or somewhere in-between. This and a handful of slightly more major decisions will determine how much various characters like you and in what order certain plot events will play out. The destination is mostly preordained but the journey will vary based on your choices.

This is NOT an action game, the mechanics for action scenes show them as mostly an afterthought. Consisting of simple quick-time events, the price for failure being an immediate reload to right before you died.

Pros:
-Excellent voice acting really helps the game feel immersive.
-Good artwork
-A nice Batman story to experience with some interesting new takes on familiar characters.

Cons:
-Gameplay mechanics are pretty stale, betraying the diminishing returns of the "one size fits all" approach to storytelling that ultimately destroyed Telltale games.
-It feels like there's less ways to meaningfully change the story outside of how characters react to you than in "The Wolf Among Us" which is the only other Telltale game I've played. While that game was also based on a DC comic, I imagine the writers on this title had their hands tied by Warner Brothers licensing more in regards to what characters could do and how they could be depicted.
-If you're looking for an action adventure game rather than a character driven story like you might see in a TV show or movie (or the more modern Batman comics) you will most likely hate this. I would recommend sticking to the excellent Arkham Batman series of games instead.

Batman: The Telltale Series is less a video game and more a $15 therapy session for emotionally stunted billionaires who think punching clowns in a fursuit qualifies as a personality. Step into the polished leather boots of Bruce Wayne, a man so pathologically allergic to joy that he’d rather spend his nights dressed as a flying rodent than admit he’s one rooftop grapple away from needing a Xanax prescription. This isn’t a superhero story it’s a narcissism simulator, a choose-your-own-adventure where every decision boils down to “brood stoically” or “brood theatrically.” Finally, a game that understands that true masculinity isn’t about saving Gotham it’s about maintaining a jawline sharp enough to slice through your own daddy issues.
The gameplay? A masterclass in performative angst. Why solve problems with charisma or logic when you can just glower at them until they surrender? The dialogue choices are a revelation: Press X to “Gruffly Nod,” Y to “Growl Cryptically About Justice,” or B to “Casually Remind Everyone You’re a Self-Made Vigilante Billionaire™.” The real challenge isn’t defeating the Penguin it’s resisting the urge to scream “DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!” at your butler every time he suggests you maybe stop weaponizing your trauma. And let’s talk about that “dual identity” mechanic! Nothing says “healthy coping mechanisms” like switching between Bruce’s “smoldering charity gala smirk” and Batman’s “I-eat-broken-glass-for-breakfast” voice mid-conversation. The plot twists? Soap opera writers weep with envy.
The true genius here is how the game caters to the alpha-male power fantasy. Every villain is just a mirror held up to Bruce’s ego a gallery of rogues who exist solely to whisper, “You’re different from us… but also kinda the same, right?” Even Alfred, the long-suffering enabler, is basically a hype man in a waistcoat, feeding you quips about “the mission” while subtly judging your life choices. And the Batcave? A monument to excess, stocked with enough gadgets to make Elon Musk blush. Who needs therapy when you’ve got a grappling hook and a basement full of unresolved rage?
Is it fun? Absolutely, if your idea of fun is cosplaying as a emotionally constipated demigod while aggressively ignoring the concept of “work-life balance.” Five stars. Ten stars. A constellation shaped like a Bat-Symbol. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go practice my “I’m-not-angry-I’m-disappointed” glare in the mirror Again.

- I find this unique take on Batman lore to be pretty good.
- Satisfying, story-driven gameplay but feels like something missing
-Most of the negative reviews are from people who don't play telltale games and just wanted something to fill the void from the Arkham franchise, just know, this is NOT a game like that

6.5/10

Another game from the Telltale series. Personally, I really enjoy the storytelling style in this company's games. I give this 8/10 .
At the end, Amirane's advice : never fall in love with the beauty of girls' sexy bodies !

The Dark Knight and its consequences.

Incredibly bland gritty Batman story where the criminals are just criminals out of a CSI show. Also the era where it was still normal to go over his parents dying over and over. BORING

Might be the lamest version of the Penguin and there have been some doozy interpretations.

Also was English the first language of the people who wrote the script? So many lines and interactions sounded like aliens trying to imitate human speech. Maybe a symptom of crunch.

Ever wanted to be Batman but with crippling decision-making anxiety? Batman: The Telltale Series is here to make you question every choice you make, from how hard you punch a thug to whether or not you should let Alfred take a day off (spoiler: he deserves it).

The game perfectly blends detective work, action, and emotional damage™ as you navigate Gotham’s corruption, deal with a chaotic Joker-in-the-making, and try not to completely ruin Bruce Wayne’s public image. Every decision feels like it could either save the city or turn it into a flaming mess—and honestly, half the time, it will turn into a flaming mess anyway.

This was a lot of fun. As a Batman fan, they really captured his detective skills as well as his quest for justice. The only thing I didn't like was how they portrayed Penguin. He should be more like Danny Devito's character. Selina was great though, it might be the best version I've seen of Catwoman so far.

Playing this with a friend, the game's kinda nice.

Now honestly, this game is to me more of a Batman "Cartoon" rather than a game, yes, you can make choices and there are on-rails game mechanics, but really there isn't an ending where you lose, it's a really casual game.

honestly, the story, the cinematography, the voice acting are frankly amazing.

I admit seeing a more casual Bruce Wayne is really interesting, Catwoman/Selina's character is probably my favourite character in the game, this is probably one of the best adaptation of her.

Cobblepot/Penguin is a really good antagonist,I'm not really sure what to think of the twist with Lady Arkham to be honest and personally I feel Harvey Dent's mental breakdown really ehh, like it could have been because of a more serious reason, but in this game it's because Bruce slept with his crush lol.

I'm currently playing on Classic mode, I honestly haven't tried Shadow Mode yet, but it doesn't seem worth it if it's just a black & white version of the original.

Also I'm playing it through Proton on Linux and it runs perfectly, plus the game is rather well-optimized.
