You'd think a new Batman game would automatically get the eyes of the world looking its way, but for whatever reason (mostly, because there's not a lot of action), Telltale's take on the character looks to be hiding in the shadows as much as the Bat himself.

And that's a shame, because what the developer have done is completely original - let you really play as Bruce Wayne.

You're not just wandering place to place, but taking part in all sorts of iconic exchanges and 'moments' we've seen from page to screen. Hear some partygoers discussing the effectiveness of "That bat vigilante?" - dive in and offer your two cents, perhaps stick up for your other half... or do nothing and play it that way.

Many critics have complained about how by-the-numbers this first episode is in terms of covering the same story beats that make Batman who he is, but for me, it's an excuse to let us have agency in all manner of exchanges that fans know and love.
