Batman: The Brave and the Bold is coming to a Nintendo console near you this fall.
Today, Warner Bros. revealed Batman: The Brave and The Bold, a new Batman game in development exclusively for Nintendo platforms. The game, based on the animated series of the same name, is set for release in fall 2010. Both the Wii and DS version are being developed by WayForward.
The game features Batman, Robin, Green Lantern, Blue Beetle, and more, including cameos by characters such as Aquaman. The TV series is lighter in tone than previous Batman animated shows, and the game takes a similar slant on the Batman franchise, as it is aimed at all ages.
The Wii and DS versions of the game will be able to connect, which allows another playable character, Bat-Mite, to be unlocked in both games.
Batman: The Brave and the Bold will feature numerous environments, such as street alleys, alien planets, underground cities, and laboratories. It also features Batman's trademark gadgets, such as the Batarang and the Grapnel Gun.
