Warner unveils Batman for Wii and DS
Feb 24th
Warner’s got Batman for adults and now Batman for children, as the publisher unveils Batman: The Brave and the Bold for Wii and DS.
Based on the television cartoon series and due this autumn, Brave and the Bold allows parents and children to team up in co-op, playing as Batman and one of his well-known friends: Robin, Green Lantern, Blue Beetle and sometimes Aquaman.

WayForward Technologies will develop, and counts stylish Wii remake A Boy and His Blob among its portfolio.
