All New Batman Animated Game

Warner Bros. has announced a video game based on the hit animated series Batman: The Brave And The Bold.

Developed in conjunction with DC Comics, the action adventure title will be available for the Wii and the DS later this year.

Players will have the option to control the Caped Crusader or battle alongside him as one of his allies from the DC Universe, such as Robin, Green Lantern or Blue Beetle. Other comic book characters, including Aquaman, will make cameo appearances in the game.

"Batman: The Brave And The Bold The Videogame further illustrates the diverse appeal of the Batman brand and the game play is a fun, vibrant extension of the animated series," said Warner Interactive senior vice president Samantha Ryan. "The game's co-op play offers kids, families and Batman fans an interactive way of experiencing the cartoon's iconic characters."

The game will also feature cross-platform connectivity between the Wii and the DS, allowing owners of both consoles to unlock the Bat-mite character.

Batman: The Brave And The Bold The Videogame will arrive on Nintendo platforms in the autumn.
