Bat-Mite?


So I just found out that the makers of the excellent Batman: Arkham Asylum game have two new offerings coming our way this Fall, not quite as dark as their last offering obviously. Batman: The Brave and the Bold will allow players of all ages to don the cape and cowl of the Dark Knight and a few of his heroic friends. Blue Beetle, Green Lantern, Aquaman (I call dibs!), and Robin as they battle evil doers in various locations from the animated series. I've noticed on the cover of the Wii game we can see Plastic Man and Hawkman.

The big news though is if a player connects with the Wii by wireless connectivity on the DS they can take on the role of Bat-Mite to either help or cause more mischief for the other players.

I saw a background picture of the game and it had Batman in Gotham Park, in the background is an awesome memorial statue for Alan Scott, the golden-age Green Lantern. I'm going to have to pick up this one for the Wii.

I dunno that this game is really for kids after all. You realize, of course, that Plastic Man and his various elongations are just a stand-in for homo-erotic fantasy... right?
