Dude...
I thought it was going to be an adaptation of the classic story from the comics, which seemed odd since we already had an adaptation of the sequel, Under the Hood (retitled Under the Red Hood).
And it IS an adaptation of the original story...but it's also a re-adaptation of Under the Red Hood...using the same voice actors and several of the same scenes! But it's expanded, and it's interactive. The viewer chooses what happens at different points (or at least at the catalyst point where Robin either dies or doesn't).
So that leads me to believe that, if one chooses the right paths, one could potentially just re-watch Under the Red Hood (which is my favorite Batman movie, bar none). But there seem to be at least two other paths featuring different stories and villains, and it looks like they're all going to be just about as intense as the original.
I'm actually pretty excited for this now. I kind of hope we're still stuck in the U.S. until after I get a chance to see it...
