Other than that, I don't think so. Batman doesn't really work in a completely post civilization world. His charactter is about enforcing law and also enforcing that law on himself. He doesn't work in anarchy, and enforcing his own law makes him a different character.

No Man's Land
But that isn't about a continued anarchy, that's about gotham temporarily being bereft of federal support. There's still a skeleton police force, and Batman is still working for a Gotham that 's cohesive (although barely).

The United States government reverses the No Man's Land order and allows Gotham to rejoin the United States. Gordon and his surviving police officers are promoted. In the final scenes of the comic, the Joker attacks Petit's compound. Petit is killed and the Huntress barely survives. The Joker later kidnaps all of Gotham's babies, but thankfully doesn't kill any of them.
Think of it as Team Fortress meets Batman: Arkham Asylum.
Gotham City Impostors, in development by Monolith Productions for the PC, Playstation Network and Xbox Live, will have players taking each other out as Batman- and Joker-themed criminals and vigilantes.
No date or price has yet been set for the game which will be published by Warner Bros. Interactive, the same publisher behind Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City.
The notion of a multiplayer Batman was often nixed by the publisher, we were told during a morning briefing in Santa Monica, because the theory was that everyone playing a multiplayer Batman game would want to play as the cowled hero. So in Gotham City Impostors no one plays as him.
Instead players will play on either the side of the Batz or the Jokerz as they game their way through a variety of online only, multiplayer only modes.
Because the game is multiplayer-only there is no ongoing story, but there is a backstory. The concept, as shown during a cartoon shown during today's presentation, is that Gotham is filled with a lot of disgruntled citizens who have decided to put on a Batman cowl of their own and take out a rising crowd of Joker-themed baddies.
The game, built on a proprietary engine, feels a bit like a Team Fortress game, with fast gameplay and quick matches.
I had a chance to check out the multiplayer deathmatch which put me in the shoes of a Bat armed with an assault rifle, shotgun, pipe bombs and grappling hook.
The game will include a number of classes, as well as body types. Body types, which include speedy, nimble and tough, impact your character's speed, toughness and strength.
Players can also pick through an assortment of weapons to choose their primary and back up guns, a gadget and a support item.
While many of the weapons looked pretty straightforward, there were also some home made weapons like a PVC-and-fireworks rocket launcher nicknamed "The Thunder Dragon" and a grappling gun that used a crank to pull you up to ledges.
Characters' costumes can also be customized, changing everything from the cowl, legs, hands and feet, to the logo and voice options.
While the mode I played was a straightforward team deathmatch, the team demonstrated a mode called "Psych Ward" which had the teams battling for a large car battery. Once captured, the battery, which leaves a trail of yellow ooze in its wake, has to be brought back to your base and attached to a brainwashing device. If you can defend it for 30 seconds you score a point, and turn on the machine which temporarily stuns all of the players on the other team, leaving them only able to slap attack you.
The game will not include any bots and the studio said they are still working on how many players it will support in total. The round I played had a total of eight players in it.
I enjoyed my short time with the game. It feels like a fun pick-up-and-play first-person shooter with the sort of nod to comics that both casual and hardcore fans of the comics will enjoy. The gameplay felt a bit loose, the aiming a bit slippery, but nothing that I didn't adjust to within a few minutes.
Other than that, I don't think so. Batman doesn't really work in a completely post civilization world. His charactter is about enforcing law and also enforcing that law on himself. He doesn't work in anarchy, and enforcing his own law makes him a different character.

Seemed pretty anarchic to me. Average citizens working under whichever boss/faction that could protect them, the whole thing had maps to show which factions controlled which territories...

Meh, if it's not gonna actually have Batman in it, why bother slapping a Batman label on it? Make it its own game.
There's this episode in Superman: The Animated Series
It's called Father's Day
Well, anyway, Kallibak is trying to get Superman's attention so he starts leveling a restaurant.
And they show reaction shots of the horrified patrons fearing for their lives.
Anyway, there's this one, like 3 second shot, of a lady surrounded by dudes running for their lives, being extremely perturbed that she has a stain on her dress.
Forget the fact an alien monster is wrecking the place.
That stain ain't never comin' out.

I don't suppose you've got some super-club-soda in that cape somewhere.

Yeah. Thanks for nothing.
don't worry, he can use his super-weaving to make her an even prettier dress
The constructs are base on the user's imagination. Some Lanterns do things like walls, cylinders and boxes because they're so strict and frankly boring then you have others who make serpents, giant boxing gloves and other crazy things.
In the justice league cartoons GL just sort of made orbs and beams and such. He was a great character, but it was sort of dull. I like the idea of slightly silly but creative constructs.
I like the explaination behind that being that as a former marine he's just so uptight and orderly in both personality and imagination hence the dull constructs.

Because it's based on a Batman comic (or the comic was based on the idea for the game; it seems to vary between articles)
Batutory rape
Yea, but he does attach a "You're Welcome." note to a brick that he then throws through another window after he leaves.

I mean, yay for more fun, less realistic superhero movies.
But...not for me.

The best he can come up with is a huge spring, a catapult and an AA gun (he uses to shoot a truck instead of just shooting the monster)
