Warner Bros Studios announces a new Batman game is being developed by Monolith and unlike previous Batman games, this one is a first person shooter and an online-only game.
The game called Gotham City Impostors will be taking place within the DC Universe and is set as a team-based game of Jokers vs Batmen.
Quote:
In the game, Gotham is being over-run by a group of Joker wannabe hoods known as The Jokerz. In retaliation, a group of well-meaning (perhaps slightly stupid) citizens don the cloak and cowl and unite to take back their city as The Bats. Players will create their character and decide if they want to be a vigilante or a villain.
The game is said to have some crazy costume choices, home made gadgets, a large variety of weapons and some clever twist when it comes to multiplayer (which looks like it could be 4 Vs 4).

As of now the multiplayer is 4v4 but the developer has said their main goal is to increase it to a bigger amount with 16 players per match as a priority. Another report said the studio has no plans of adding in bots or non-online multiplayer features and wants to focus the game solely on online multiplayer.
The game does not have an announced release date but will be available on PSN, XBLA, and PC later in the year.
