Gotham City Imposters Unveiled

PC, Xbox 360, PS3

I doubt many saw this coming: Warner Bros. Interactive have announced that a new Batman game is in the works. Developed by Monolith Products, Gotham City Imposters is a multiplayer (wait, what), first-person shooter (huh?) set in a Gotham City that's overrun by Batman and Joker imposters (!!?).

Yes, it sounds a bit odd, but there might be a bit of interesting substance behind this. Kotaku had a hands-on with the game, describing it as "Team Fortress meets Batman: Arkham Asylum", which can only be a good thing.

"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 Jester-themed baddies."

You can read the rest of their impression here. I'll be honest: it sounds kind of cool. Gotham City Imposters currently has no release date, but will be available on PC, XBL and PSN.

This could either be really bad or really good. I'll give it a shot.
