Youve just polished off anotherBatmangame.
How geeky are you, then?
I used to work in a comics store, and I used to work in a cinema.
I love lots of nerdy things, so four years ago it was awesome when we gotBatman.
I used to work in They Walk Among Us, in Richmond.
So we have a go at absorb all these different opinions, and get to a halfway point.
Ive always been obsessed withBatman, but from a disconnected kind of position.
The audience is so wide.
Batman is an amazing character.
For young kids, its a lunch box.
For older guys, itsThe Dark Knight Returns.Its all the same character, the same name, everything.
Its still the core of what it is to be Batman.
Well, personally, the best thing for me is…
The game is this huge thing, which is very, very connected.
Everybodys working on different elements of it, everythings got to come together on every different level.
But when we do the interview tapes, I get to work a little on my own.
The interview tapes turned out to be this great component.
We didnt know how it was going to work out until we got the actors back.
But they were really good, and told some nice little stories.
Well let you discover that for yourselves!
Penguin, hes great for us, because hes our Penguin.
And its going to scare you!
And they said, Well, what is it?
And we explained, and they went Yeah, thats cool.
We want you to look at Penguin and say, thats Penguin.
He is Penguin, but he doesnt look like any other Penguin thats ever existed.
He doesnt sound like any other Penguin thats ever existed.
And thats great for us.
But then at the same time, you really cant like everyone.
For the 80 per cent who go, I really like that, ones going, Whys he English?
or Whys he got a slightly dodgy accent?
Well, thats part of the character that we wanted to create.
We just want people to know that we dont make these decisions lightly.
And they thought, Brilliant, you might do that.
And we were like, Great, because we never thought youd say yes!
And then everything sort of spiralled out from there, and were very proud of him.
I guess we have a bit more sarcasm in the game.
Its not, its the characters, and weve just put our spin on things.
Our spin on the elements.
Even the first Tim BurtonBatmanmovies were made here, and some of the Nolan ones.
Why is Britain so important to Batman?
I think its because were all so miserable.
Which is very unusual for a super hero.
And then theres Batman.
Everything he does is because hes dedicated to solving the problems of the world.
For everything Batmans brave about, he has his fears.
His parents dying, his inability to solve the worlds problems.
Thats why he does it, thats why he goes out night after night.
Thats the kind of thing, hes like a shark, hes always moving forward.
As long as its dark.
And then, when its daytime, he goes back to being Bruce Wayne.
Mr Crocker, thank you very much!
