If A Batman Game Looked Like This, I Would Never Stop Playing

No offence to the guys making the latest Batman games, which look great in their own muscly way, but Batman is a comic book character. Wouldn’t it look cooler if the games looked more like a comic? Especially one this fantastic?

These images are the work of Callum Alexander Watt, a British artist who we’ve featureda few times here before (mostly because he’s one of my absolute favourite artists in the games industry).

They’re for Batman: Arkham Origins: Blackgate, a great(and almost immediately forgotten) handheld game from earlier this year. If you’ve played the game, you’ll know that this art was “animated” in a very simple style for cutscenes, but wouldn’t playing the entire game like this be the best?
