You get a little more action than in previous Telltale games too, which largely revolves around quicktime button pushing events, but the real meat is in making choices for Bruce which have a clear impact later on in the story. Fortunately, this is something you adapt to almost instantly and it allows the game to run very smoothly on any machine, even mobile devices. They focus on comic book style artwork and you will see black lines around faces, rather than attempts to make picture perfect textures. The obvious first thing to notice about Batman - The Telltale Series is that while it looks great, this is a Telltale game and not a photorealistic game. The story also focuses on the more relatable characters of Gotham, such as the Falcone crime family and Harvey Dent, which are ripe for drawing psychological comparison with Bruce.

The game focuses more on Bruce Wayne, the man behind the bat, which makes sense as Telltale games let story and personality come to the fore while action sits back. Even the font of the title screen screams of the deco style seen in the Batman cartoons of the 90s. As fans of Telltale games know, they produce games with a distinct comic book style which lends itself perfectly to Batman and Gotham City. Recently there was the massive if somewhat shaky success of the Arkham series, which proved that fans love the classic, comic book Batman as much as the ‘realistic’ reboots seen in the movies. Batman - The Telltale Series is a huge new entry into the hall of fame for Batman games.
