Monolith is creating a FPS multiplayer Batman game!
A new Batman game is on the rise for PSN , XBL and PC. Gotham city Impostors (GCI), will be a downloadable game. More surprisingly it will be a first person shooter! The game has two factions, The Bats and the Jokerz. The game will have customizable characters and gadgets such as roller skates and grappling hooks.
From the press release:
“Gotham City Impostors blows apart expectations for superhero games with an exaggerated take on first person shooters, set in a part of the DC Universe players have never seen before,” said Samantha Ryan, Senior Vice President, Production and Development, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “Monolith is creating a game that turns Gotham City upside down and we think fans are going to have a blast with this creative twist on multiplayer heroism and anti-heroism as they play up the classic rivalry between Batman and The Joker.”
Gotham City Impostors is a multiplayer game unlike any other, giving players the opportunity to rebel against conformity as they customize their own characters. Posing as amateur vigilantes or villains, gamers will create their very own Bats and Jokerz characters using unprecedented customization options including insane costumes, homebrewed gadgets and a wide range of traditional and imagined weapons.

No screens or videos available yet, so keep your eyes open. It does sound like a fun arcade-like shooter. Probably a $20 game or so? With the little information available, does it sound interesting?
