Batman: The Enemy Within Will Let You Shape Joker's Origin and Purpose

  • 361

You've never been this in-control of the Batman canon before. We love Telltale Games because their narratives give us a unique opportunity to reach out and shape the stories of some of our most beloved characters and worlds. Batman: The Enemy Within, the first episode of Telltale's second season Batman narrative, is launching next Tuesday. You can scoop it up on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, or Steam right now.

In the first season of Batman: The Telltale Series, we got to decide whether or not Batman and Catwoman become acquaintances or something much more. In the imminent second season, we'll get to shape the origin story of Batman's most infamous adversary: Joker.

So we can make our own 'canon' character? Well, okay.

I'd be interested to see how hard-core fans of this universe see this. ^^

I love Telltale games and Batman, so I hope this will be a great game. :D

Telltale games never fail to disappoint me, let's hope this will be the same :D

Telltale games are only great if you play them once. If you only do one run, it feels like your choices actually mattered and you had a hand in shaping the narrative. 
Once you play it again, you quickly realize that your choices had very little impact on the story.


I'm curious to see how this plays out. Maybe they will surprise us and release a game where the choices actually matter.

Well, Heath Ledger's Joker in Nolan's trilogy kept telling a different story to different people, so it kinda fits with the "modern" Joker :P
