Hey! Where is our 'Dark Knight' Video Game?
The score: PS3, EA 0
Since the birth of Tim Burton's movie Batman in 1989, there has been a video game tie-in with every incarnation of the Batman film franchise. So why is it that we haven't seen one for one of the most popular (and profitable) films for the character, if not for comic book films in general? It's not as if there wasn't a plan for a digitized Batman during the film's production. Game publisher Electronic Arts had the rights to make a game for the Dark Knight film, according to an unnamed developer for the EA-owned Pandemic Studios. Speculation says that the lack of a game caused up to $100 million in missing sales, and would be the first time that the caped crusader didn't have a game.

During the premiere of the Dark Knight, Gary Oldman let it slip during an interview with G4 that he worked on the game. G4 has been active in making sure posts of the video have taken down.
