Batman: The Telltale Series is truly Telltale at their finest providing a perfect imaging of this iconic caped crusader. This first episode is a great step in establishing their own Batman universe and I'm excited to see where this series is taken. The character they've already developed are exciting and we've really just began to touch base on what could potentially happen.
