"...Firstly, our source confirms Pandemic as the developers behind the title, though we pretty much knew that already. Secondly, a good portion of the game is set in a GTA-style rendition of Gotham City, which plays a lot like Spiderman 2 as Batman zips around (he even gets a grappling hook for swingy-swingy when not using the Batmobile) attending to crimes. And thirdly? As was first raised last week, it's not in the best shape, perhaps explaining why the project has been kept in the *ahem* dark for so long..."

Wow, it seems as if my surfing of Kotaku has made me a very happy man.

Full Page.

I am at the whole other side, I love Spider-Man 2, but I hate Ultimate Spider-Man. =\
Also, if it's a GTA-like game, but uses Batman. Sign me up.

I think that Pandemic can handle their own niche` genre games, but things like Batman require that the gameplay be a bit more streamlined. I hated Spider-Man 2, but I think that Ultimate Spider-man was proof that the concept in Spidey 2 can be implemented sort-of correctly.
