Seattle, WA (March 18, 2003) - Kemco has shipped Batman: Dark
Tomorrow for the Xbox and GameCube to retail outlets nationwide. Developed
internally by Kemco, Batman: Dark Tomorrow is rated T (Teen) and has an SRP of

From Kemco:
Batman: Dark Tomorrow is the first modern Batman videogame to date that is
based on the DC Comics comic book license, and not on the feature films or
animated television series. Batman comic book writer, Scott Peterson, and writer
Kenji Terada, known for his work on the Final Fantasy videogame franchise,
created the original storyline for the game. Kemco has stayed loyal to the world
famous comic book character’s roots by exploring a darker, grittier Batman.
Batman: Dark Tomorrow will feature an all-star cast including some of
Batman’s most infamous foes: Black Mask; Killer Croc; Scarface and the
Ventriloquist; Poison Ivy and Mr. Freeze; as well as fellow super heroes such as
Batgirl, Robin, Oracle and others. With music performed by the Royal
Philharmonic Orchestra, over 25 hours of gameplay and 60 minutes of FMV and
soundtrack music, Batman: Dark Tomorrow is the ultimate videogame for Batman
fans.
Kemco and DC Comics have also created a limited edition, two-part comic book
that will serve as a prequel to the storyline in the game. The first of two
collectible comic books will be included as a pack-in within top-tier
platform-specific gaming enthusiast publications, distributing over 1.4 million
comic books nationwide. The second, digest-size comic book will be included in
the retail game package and limited to the first production run of the game.
About Batman: Dark Tomorrow
Explosions echo throughout the mean streets of Gotham as rival gangs battle
for control of the city. Anarchy reigns supreme with the sudden disappearance of
Police Commissioner James Gordon and the lockdown of Arkham Asylum, home for the
criminally insane. By using all of his skills, both mental and physical, as well
as a variety of gadgets, Batman must stop the gang war, infiltrate Arkham Asylum
and rescue the Commissioner. During this time, Batman must also piece together
clues to discover the mastermind behind these seemingly unrelated events and
stop an evil plan that threatens the fate of the entire world!
