It’s time to talk aboutBatman: Gotham Knight- no,notGotham Knights, the newBatmangame, and no, notGotham Knights, the ill-timed CW seriescoming out in the same year. It is time, however, to talk aboutBatman: Gotham Knight, an anime anthology from 2008 that is a high point in the caped crusader’s history of animated stories. Gotham Knightwas a hype vehicle in many ways, meant to hype up the release of Christopher Nolan’sThe Dark Knightwhile featuring the talents ofKevin Conroy as Batman from the animated series....

It’s a four-player co-op horror game in which the players hunt for ghosts, but there’s a depth toPhasmophobiabeyond that.
