And if you must invite Batman to your birthday party, make sure it’s the nice one. Not the Christopher Nolan version.
A composer behind movies like The Dark Knight and a former member of the triphop band Massive Attack will unite for the Halo 4 soundtrack, according to a report today.
You know, I haven’t actually seen the live-action version of this trailer. For most movies these days, I go into blackout mode, try and save myself for when I see the actual flick.

Summer means sun. Weeks off school, days off work, Coronas under a palm tree as a sea breeze washes over you. But it also means it’s time for Hollywood’s big shebang: the summer blockbusters.
Then take a look at these. Don’t expect much – the two clips are using raw character models and little else – but hey, it’s not like you’re ever going to see anything better.
Pandemic’s Brisbane studio is no more, the result of ongoing cost and headcount reductions throughout Electronic Arts. To put it kindly, EA restored the studio’s independence; in effect, they washed their hands of several years of aborted projects and management decisions. In the aftermath, we have heard from several inside sources who have each shared their thoughts on how it all went wrong.
Electronics Arts has shuffled off Pandemic Studios’ Brisbane office, a reliable source tells Kotaku. The Australian developer was best known for Destroy All Humans! and its rumoured development of an ill-fated Batman game.
Ubercharged found a Team Fortress 2 “Kill Bar Thingy” generator last week, which allows you to generate your own in-game notices (much like Xbox 306 achievements, and error messages). It’ll give you and your TF2-loving office mates a good 10 or 15 minutes of chortling. Well, then someone took it to the next level and told the entire story of The Dark Knight in these alerts (excerpt pictured). Ah, TF2 and Batman, two great tastes that go great together. You really should visit the link but, fair warning, there are spoilers here if you haven’t seen this film. Is two months enough of a statute of limitations on spoilers?

As it stands, nobody has commented officially on the specifics of the next Batman game. Hell, nobody has officially acknowledged that the game even exists. That doesn’t mean we can’t hear about it unofficially, however. So, courtesy of someone who’s already played the game, let’s look over the first details on what you can expect from it, and how it’s shaping up.
Firstly, our source confirms Pandemic as the developers behind the title, though we pretty much knew that already. Secondly, a good portion of the game is set in a GTA-style rendition of Gotham City, which plays a lot like Spiderman 2 as Batman zips around (he even gets a grappling hook for swingy-swingy when not using the Batmobile) attending to crimes. And thirdly? As was first raised last week, it’s not in the best shape, perhaps explaining why the project has been kept in the *ahem* dark for so long.
