Review title of Maiden Ty One Refreshing new take on the Batman story

3 Episodes in and this is already one of the most interesting takes on a franchise so well trodden and repeated by now it was getting hard to find anything new or surprising in it. Telltale's Batman takes the core mythos and turns it on its head; here, characters you know as allies in the Batman universe are not quite so benevolent, and ones you know as malevolent are not quite the enemies you're used to them being. Be warned; if you're a Batman 'purist', meaning you can't tolerate any ingenuity or newfound creativity in the franchise or even the slightest deviation from the original comics, then look elsewhere; this game is not meant as a straight up word-for-word direct adaptation of what we're all already nauseatingly familiar with at this point. This is a retelling of Batman that shakes things up, and in doing so feels fresh, keeps you guessing, and manages to make itself unpredictable which for Batman, in 2017, is quite impressive. (Also, this version's Catwoman freaking rules ;)
