I wanna see a Batman GTA clone, who's with me?

Imagine this. GoThAm city. You're Batman. You can swing, drive, fly(batplane), take a boat, just about anything around GoThAm. Total free reign. The city is divided into territories. Joker, Penguin, Two-Face, etc. all have their own parts. You could even have Killer Croc in the sewers. You have to clean up the streets as gang wars escalate and all the big players are trying to take over GoThAm. Here's the kicker though, you have an "Urban Legend" meter, as i call it. The more you stay out of sight and conduct your business in a stealthy matter, the scarier you are to the criminals. If you just go walking down the middle of the street, you lose your element of surprise, but if you always stay in the shadows and drop from the ceiling on a rope to scare the hell out of criminals, you can sneak up easier and have more powerful sneak attacks. You'd play up the whole, "is the Batman real or not?" aspect of the character. It would have to have an impecible fighting system, as guns are a no-no, but you'd have tons of kick ass gadgets. I don't care if someone steals this idea, in fact, i hope they do. This is my dream game. It's totally do-able. It needs to be made, and it needs to be made right. Now, who's with me?

I like your clever use of capital letters, I'll give you that much. Someone get this man a coffee!

Yeah that could work.

that's crazy enough it just might work

Omg that would be sweet

Sounds cool

I would play it.

I could see a batman sandbox game working very well.

I don't like Batman, and I don't like GTA, I'll pass.

Sounds like a good idea.
A solid story where Batman's actions have consequences on Bruce's life (such as being accused of being Batman, or blackmailed etc.) or if you play it smoothly, you'll be living as Bruce relatively smoothly also.

This mixed with a huge Gotham City, would be fantastic.

It'll never happen, though.

I like the idea but I would like to play as a bad guy for once. Setting traps and robbing banks as Joker would be awesome.

100% With you and that waould be cool if you could be The Joker too. That would be a definite buy if done right!

What company would you like to see make the game though?

If it had the old style batmobile yes, but if it had that tank disgrace of a batmobile then no.

Well good news for you guys, this same idea, open world Batman, has been a rumor for months and months.  Supposedly it's in development at Pandemic, obviously to be published by EA.

Didn't Pandemic make Mercenaries?

Yes.  Yes they did. 

"Yes.  Yes they did. 
"

Not in.

Pretty good idea. I especially like the Urban Legend meter, it'd be pretty neat.

"Not in.
"

Magneto, that sounds like a killer game!  I'd get that in a sec.

Add a cape on the guy in Infamous and I am pretty sure you have Batman... who can shoot electricity.

I'd like to see realtime worlds, the guys that did crackdown, do this

Yes, I would like to see a batman sandbox game but definatly not a GTA clone. I think it has the potencial to work but i doubt it will happen for a long time. If they stopped making movies for a few years its a possabilaty.

That would be a pretty badass game.

Sounds like Spider-Man 2 mixed with True Crime. What shit.
