    What was shaping up conceptually to have been the definitive Batman game to date, simply ends up being little more than a disappointing cash-in, complete with spoiler-laden (and bafflingly unskippable) clips of the movie between levels, film trailers, and even some unlockable costumes for good measure.

Most of the actors in the movie did the voices for their characters as well. Some good performances, some not so good. But I appreciate that they’re there.
