Gotham City Imposters Announced

Well, here's something you may not have seen coming: Warner Brothers confirmed this week that Gotham City Imposters, a downloadable first-person shooter based in the Batman universe, will retail on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade this Autumn. "Heresy!", I hear fans of the Caped Crusader cry, "Batman doesn't wield guns!" You're dead right, so instead players take on the roles of fans of the Dark Knight and fans of arch-nemesis the Joker in an "unhinged Gotham City overrun by imposters". No game-play details have been revealed yet, but this could well be a crazy, inventive shooter judging by the first artwork shown here, even if it takes some risks with the DC Comics mythology. Somehow, though, I think I'll stick with Arkham City, also out this Autumn and promising over fourty hours of story content alone. Gotham City Imposters will retail in September, while Batman: Arkham City is due out on October 21st.
