Newsarama have posted an interview with Way Forward games director Adam Tiernney on next weeks release of Batman: The Brave and the Bold Video Game including new screenshots.

Newsarama: The Batman: The Brave and the Bold TV series is known for its deep roster of DC characters, which ones made the cut for the videogame?

Adam Tierney: Quite a few! We have five fully playable characters in the Wii game which are Batman, Robin, Blue Beetle, Hawkman, and [Green Lantern] Guy Gardner. There are also multiple jump-in heroes, who act like smart bombs. Then we have over a dozen boss characters, and a large collection of cameos and easter eggs. I’ve been told that between the DS and Wii games, we’ve got over 60 DC Comics’ heroes and villains represented.

Nrama: Will they all be available at the outset?

Tierney: The game is essentially four playable episodes, although each of our game episodes is substantially longer than an episode from the TV show. These are played in order, so you begin the game as Batman and Robin, and end it as Batman and Guy Gardner. Because of how much storytelling and Voice Over (VO) we have throughout the game, each hero partner is exclusive to their own episode. However, the player can replay any episode or stage once it’s been beaten, to continue upgrading each character’s abilities.

Nrama: What were the criteria for choosing them?

Tierney: It was a combination of characters that are prominent in the show, combined with characters that both Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and WayForward liked and also some surprises thrown in to please fans. The biggest deciding factor, ultimately, was the plot. We selected heroes and villains that worked well in a particular situation, and played well off Batman. The central theme of the TV show is partnership, and they team Batman up with (or pit him against) a wide variety of DC Universe characters that make for interesting stories. And since there’s a huge focus on storytelling in our game, we chose heroes, villains, and environments that would make for interesting stories.
