APOLLO: The BATMAN Game That Doesn’t Exist 

Thanks for having me on.

Fun fact the Batman model Monolith made for this game ended up being used as a place holder for Talion in early builds of Shadow of Mordor

I didn’t realize they were developing a TDKR tie in game- I always assumed after the cancellation of the Dark Knight game that they gave up on tie ins and embraced the original story video games following Arkham Asylum

I'd rather have this game than suicide squad and Gotham knights

So much lost Batman media

Goto is a dangerous guy. Hopefully Batman finds him before it's too late.

That looks like sonar vision. It's probably more like Splinter Cell: Conviction where it's a late game unlock and only works at short range and while standing still to put some reasonable restrictions on it

The goon with a pacemaker when Batman uses his EMP: 😧

And another game full of missed potential gets the attention of the public. I swear, it's the projects people actually want that ultimately end up getting scrapped. This game, the cancelled Flash game for the Xbox 360 & a Superman game years ago. It's like the second there's a money making idea, it gets thrown out the window. Shame because even though I haven't gotten the chance to play Batman Begins myself, from what I've seen it looks pretty cool & fun. So I definitely would've loved a follow up with improvements.

The FEAR jumpscare caught me completely off guard.

I remember a Dark Knight Rises mobile game, it was actually pretty good.

Dude epic video as always love ur lost game content

WB is the king of making bad decisions with DC. I love that this Batman’s fighting style is a mixture of Karate, Ninjutsu, Jujitsu, and Kung-fu. I personally think Batman’s fighting style should be similar to Wesley Snipes' Blade but nonlethal. The only thing I dislike is the overreliance on the advanced suit and cowl tech. Batman is supposed to be a shadow due to his mastery of Ninjutsu not from stealth tech in the suit. He's supposed to be the world's greatest detective he shouldn't need advanced cowl tech detective mode as he is the detective mode. This is the same problem I had with the Arkham series as well. To me, less is more with gadgets/tech, armor, and allies when it comes to Batman.

The combat system sounds like devil may cry combat system which probably is like pauses in between attacks to pull off a different/alt move or continue a normal based attack? Also this game sounds very awesome 🗿😭

Splinter Cell type stealth on a Batman is so fitting and looked great, hope one day the next Batman takes this idea

I think they wanted to have a build that they could show Christopher Nolan when they got in touch with him first a better chance at getting his approval and from what I have seen I think he would given them the Green light.

Personally I wonder if comparisons would have been drawn between the two games in terms of gameplay performance and story. Great video BTW 🔥🔥🔥

lookin good, cant wait till the batman 2 comes out and you can cover its concept art and unused ideas (ik its a while in the future but still)

As someone who lives in New Jersey and in a small neighborhood, the city in this unreleased game looks spectacular to me.

Someone needs to make another Batman game like this now with the Arkham games essentially being finished.

Nice video 👍

Oh shit Monolith! The people that made Blood!

Tbh I don’t really see anything that great with it. This most likely would have been forgotten like the Amazing Spider-Man games. Movie licence games are almost never good.

I like that Monolith tried to do something similar yet different with this game rather than just copying and pasting the formula from the Arkham games. I really would have liked to have played this.

my wife left me

See I love this, but as a tie in game no…it should’ve just been its own thing preferably!!!

21:40 Lego Batman would like to have a word with you

Well there's a cool batman game called The Dark Knight Rises by Gameloft. It was made for mobiles and oof, its arkham games on mobile.

Would been cool if this game released, if we could get nolanverse versions villains like Riddler, Penguin, Black Mask, or even Clayface. (If you wanna know how clayface could fit into the nolanverse, I think his early apearences can give you an idea.)

I would love a grounded based Batman like this. Sadly I think we are stuck with the Arkham based style for future games.

Good video and analysis. I'll be the first to admit I'd have bought this game, and it had some cool ideas, but I have no idea why they would think locking skills and abilities Arkham Asylum and City had already made standard behind an upgrade tree. Especially considering they'd (in theory) be releasing it the year after Arkham City. I know they were both developed around the same time, but a lot of the stuff they had you upgrading was core stuff you could do back in Asylum. Just seems a very odd choice. I mean, if I'm developing a Batman game, one of the first things I'm doing is playing all the other Batman games to find out what was good and we should keep, and what was bad and what we should avoid/fix. Also, based on some of the stuff I've learned in the last few years about Christopher Nolan and his "ownership" of the Dark Knight trilogy, I tend to believe that Batman: Gotham Knight and the Batman Begins video game being made were nothing short of miraculous. Chip Zdarsky tried to get Bale's Batman to appear in a recent comic he did, but was told by WBD/DC's legal team that Bale's Batman and the Nolan Trilogy is completely off limits. It seems Nolan's contract to make those movies stipulated that he was the only person who could or would allow his version of those characters to appear in any medium, period.

I wonder if the combat was gonna use KFM like in the movies

I really like the Batman Gotham Knight movie, but I think the fan made series Joker blogs has more of a likley hood to be cannon to the Nolan trilogy than that movie.

Which quote is better? 🤔💭 "I am Vengeance. I am the Knight. I Am BATMAN!" or "I'm Batman!"

I’m not sure where I heard this from But I heard that the dark knight game from 08 was supposed to have the nemesis system

Do u guys think this would have affected Arkham City with oversaturation of Batman games in the 2010s?

I liked the Batman Begins game. May not be as good as any of the arkham games, but that dosen't make it bad by default.

Why does this batman look more like arkham origins batman than the Nolanverse batman?

Hey bro, are you still working on that video about arkham knight development?

Maybe Monolith is the hero we deserve, and the hero we need. Since Rocksteady lived long enough to become the villain.

By far The best youtube channel Try tô do a early devolopment of rdr or last of us if u Can 😊

Christopher Nolan’s Batman🤦🏿‍♂️

Try to do a video like this but of batman begins

I'm so early omg

14:50 I’m pretty sure it’s “Find/Go-To”

I really hope Monolith gets to make their own Batman game eventually.
