There's been no official confirmation but it looks as if Pandemic Studios, developer of upcoming Mercenaries 2, is working away on the Batman game which ties-in with the impending film.

EA recently acquired Pandemic, as well as BioWare, and the publisher is handling the IP for a game - so is this all true or some sinister ploy by The Joker?

The ever vigilant Kotaku says it is true, "See, we know Pandemic are developing, and we know EA will - being Pandemic's new owners - be publishing the game, and...that's it. No platforms, no name, no bullet points about innovative stealth sections and an open-world Gotham City, nothing."

Well that's all the Internet needs to declare something as fact, bring on the Dark Knight Pandemic!
