SDCC 2016: Watch The Fantastic First Trailer For ‘Batman – The Telltale Series’!

Briefly: We saw the gorgeous first screenshots for Batman – The Telltale Series back at E3 this June, and most of us here at Geekscape have been basically foaming at the mouth over the potential for this title ever since.

Today, on the eve of San Diego Comic-Con’s Preview Night, the company has released the first full trailer, and the only appropriate response is “Wow.”

It’s tough to guess at just what impossible choices are in store for us throughout the five episode series, but with the towering Gotham City on the line instead of, say, a group of survivors amidst the undead apocalypse, we can guarantee that none of your options will be easy ones.

Rendered to look like a living, breathing comic book, Telltale’s vision of Batman will feature an award-winning cast of talent, including Troy Baker in the role of Bruce Wayne, Travis Willingham as Harvey Dent, Erin Yvette as Vicki Vale, Enn Reitel as Alfred Pennyworth, Murphy Guyer as Lieutenant James Gordon, Richard McGonagle as Carmine Falcone, and Laura Bailey as Selina Kyle. Naturally, additional cast and characters will be revealed as the season progresses.

The first episode of the series, titled Realm of Shadows, is set to debut on August 2nd, and Telltale will be hosting an event at this week’s SDCC where they’ll be showing off gameplay for the very first time. Take a look at the game’s trailer below, and be sure to let us know what you think!
