Oldman, who plays the role of Gotham City police lieutenant Jim Gordon in the film, reveals during the interview that he's "seen a tiny little piece of [the game]" and that its developer (rumored to be the now EA-owned Pandemic) is focusing a lot of effort on realistic, seamless gliding sequences. Meanwhile, his interviewer looks more uncomfortable and confused than enthused about the fact that she's sitting across from a film legend. Why so serious?

Someone had it right on this board - WHY SO SERIOUS?!!
What was with the dead pan boredom radiating from the clueless interviewer?!!! Doesn't she realizes she is sitting right across from GREATNESS - not to mention SEXY GREATNESS!!!
Has she never heard of Gary Oldman?!! Had it been me interviewing I think I would have been total school girl over him.
Poor Gary, but I think his charisma finally struck something with her in the end. I still feel like whacking her...

I kind of wish they wouldn't do a Dark Knight game because the movie was so damn amazing, but oh well...

Nevermind the fact that she's a freakin' dolt (pun insanely intended,)we're missing the real point about Kristin Holt here. Would she look good dressed as slave Leia/licking something tech related, preferably a Wiimote? I believe she would. And that, folks, is my sexist geek post of the day.

Dude, the "puns intended" is a totally necessary clause. Unless the puns are so brilliant that they beam out a glorious light of cleverness and hilarity, so much goodness can be easily overlooked if one forgets to put their punnage goggles on.

I thought the 'pun insanely intended' was part of my sentence spanning, arcing joke. I guess it just wasn't enough for you. Then again, I happen to think I'm the funniest person I know. On a side note, thank you for your support, Saria. We pun intenders must stick together and fight the oppression that commenters like kavendano14 threaten upon us.

It has been my experience that all puns have a 95% fail rate.

Please, oh please let this be a good Batman game! I would love an open world version (ala Spiderman 2 and Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction). If Pandemic really is working on this game then they should just use the Mercs 2 engine and recoat the jungles of Venezuela to be the buildings and rooftops of Gothem. Imagine blowing up whole buildings with the Batmobile!

the engine from Mercs 2 is waaaaay to bright, bloomy, and orange for a Batman game

Here's my high concept pitch for a *good* game based on this movie:
"It's like GTA, except you're the effing Joker."
Batman shows up when you hit five stars. ;)

I think it'd be better suited with Assassin's Creed style investigations

Batman's Creed please! (at least batman has vehicles and gadgets instead of pickpocketing and 10-minute conversations)
very happy that Pandemic has this!

I came in here just to say that Gary Oldman is awesome.
I think Holt is so squirmy here because she's trying to resist the urge to jump his bones.

Gary Oldman is too awesome for G4 to handle. Especially Kristen Holt. She probably didn't even know who he was.

Don't know much about Kristen Holt but based off of this interview she looks completely uninterested in Batman and video games and any combination of the two. But she was probably just nervous about that possible 10 ounces she might have gained over the weekend...I mean, she was probably just nervous.

She seems bored or not sure what Oldman is saying and then burst out in laugher after a mild joke to break the tension, appearin as if she is payin attention.

This was so unintentionally hilarious. Oldman just really getting into his description of the game, arms stretched out pretending to glide, and then cut to Holt sitting there with the blankest expression a human being ever made uttering a meek "sure".

I want to know what the program's editor was thinking here. Show Kirsten Holt (who did a pretty lousy job interviewing the other actors as well) completely perplexed and nodding or Oldman talking about a secret game. Decisions, decisions.....

This is the first time I've ever heard Gary Oldman speak as himself. He's always been a character to me. This changes my whole world.
