Watch Batman - The Telltale Series' first gameplay trailer and check out the August release date

Batman - The Telltale Series begins on August 2, Telltale Games and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment have announced. The first episode, titled "Realm of Shadows", will hit the usual Telltale platforms (PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, iOS, and Android) and introduce players to an all-new interpretation of Bruce Wayne and the Dark Knight. If that's not enough to get you shrieking "na-na-na-na-na BATMAAAAN", give this first-ever in-game footage a try.

We've already tried the first 30 minutes of Batman but that won't make the wait until August 2 any easier. Until then, Telltale has released a new set of screenshots to pore over showing the Batcave, Catwoman, a couple of gadgets, and a whole bunch of dead thugs and guards.
