WB Interactive’s vice president talks DC Comics video games
Batman: Arkham Knight may be the final game in Rocksteady Studios’ Arkham trilogy, but that doesn’t mean it’s the last we’ll see of the Dark Knight. In an interview with Playstation Blog, Ames Kirshen, vice president of product development for the DC Comics games at Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment gives us an idea of the company’s approach to these characters. “You have to understand and respect the core essence of the franchise,” Kirshen explained, “but you can’t be a slave to every single aspect of its history or continuity in translating it for the gaming medium.” “More importantly, you have to have the talent, vision, and passion from the development teams to make great…

FEATURE: 5 DC Characters That Deserve Their Own Video Games
With the news coming last week that WB Montreal is making (at least) two video games based on DC Comics properties, I feel now is the perfect opportunity list the top five DC characters I believe deserve their own video game franchise. To make things easier, I am going to give a brief rundown of the origin of each character, just so everyone understands my reasoning for listing these specific 5. Nightwing Origin: The Flying Grayson’s are apart of Haly’s Circus. The ringmaster was constantly harassed by a mobster named Tony Zucco. Who demanded the use of their truck to transport drugs. When the ringmaster refuses to give in to their threats, Zucco sabotaged the trapezes of…

ARROW: An All-New Look at Diggle’s Costume
Last week The CW released the first look at John Diggle’s costume for Arrow season four. While it was met with mixed reception (Magneto was trending because of it), DC Comics has now released two new images of Diggle’s new threads. Check them out below! While the helmet still looks a little out of place, the overall costume looks much better. Whether these new images were always planned or if DC Comics is just doing damage control is unknown. Either way, Diggle was long overdue for an official costume. I personally can’t wait for John to suit up with the rest of team Arrow this upcoming season. As always, stay tuned for more news as it comes. Season four…

BATMAN: ARKHAM KNIGHT PC interm patch
Batman: Arkham Knight has been receiving rave reviews for its gameplay – rarely has anyone complained about a single glitch, on consoles. Sadly PC gamers were not having the same experience console fans had.

Now this interim patch is only available to people who already have Batman: Arkham Knight, and an updated version of the patch will be released for those wanting to purchased Arkham Knight on PC in the coming weeks (hopefully days). Here are the…

WB Games Montréal Making More BATMAN: ARKHAM Games?
WB Games Montréal has released an ad stating that they are hiring more designers, programmers, artist etc. Now, this may seem like news on the surface, but make no mistake this is very important. When you go to WB Games Montréal’s website the first thing to pop-up is an ad that says: “We are currently recruiting! We are a growing studio with two AAA projects in development focused on expanding the DC Comics universe in the interactive space.” The thing that jumps out here is that they claim that they have not one, but two AAA DC Comics titles in development. This leads me to believe that the two games they are working on are ‘Suicide Squad’ and…
