Batman Miniature Game Announcement

Back in September, Knight Models teased that it had partenered with DC for the development of a miniature skirmish game featuring Batman and his famous rogue's gallery of villains.  Today they released a bit more info about the upcoming game.

 Batman Miniature Game is a skirmish game based on the broad Batman universe. You can command one of the most famous criminal bands in Gotham City to expand your territory and control the underworld, or stop their evil plans with the Dark Knight and his allies.

The game includes the most important characters created by Bob Kane, like Batman himself, Robin, Nightwing, etc. aided by the Ghotam City Police trying to stop the gangs led by the most infamous criminals and psychopaths of the DC Comics universe, like The Joker, Penguin, Two-Face, the immortal Rash al Goul and many others.

Knight Models team has created incredible detailed miniatures to accurately portray these characters and their sidekicks, 30 mm scale ready to assemble and paint. This is a licensed and official DC Comics product.

Batman Miniature Game is an innovative and original game system, easy to learn and tactical deep, that features thrilling combats and frenzy action, where bands of 5 to 12 characters fight to achieve their objectives in games of 40 to 60 minutes duration.

Choose side and get ready for the ultimate battle to control the streets of Gotham City!.

So a Batman game that has nothing to do with Hero Clix?  Sounds awesome.  One that is about small criminal/hero gangs fighting over Gotham City? Icing on the cake.  I really like the sound of this and if the preview pictures below are any indication, the miniatures look amazing.  Here's hoping that all this talk of territory means a campaign system of some kind included.  I'm going to watch this one for sure.
