In a year of big-screen comebacks, The Dark Knight is perhaps the most eagerly anticipated.

Why? Because the blockbuster movie sees Batman battling one of his oldest foes, in the form of The Joker.

Glu Mobile is making the official game of the film, with both due out in July. You'll step into the shoes of Batman himself, as he uses stealth, gadgets and good old-fashioned fighting to rid Gotham's streets from The Joker's menace.

The game itself is a side-scrolling action-adventure, offering suitably moody visuals that evoke the gothic Gotham of the film.

The controls are simple, too. Everything's explained as you go along, from making the most of the dynamic combat system, through to launching your grappling hook and hiding in doorways.

As the latter feature shows, The Dark Knight is as much about stealth as it is about yomping through levels punching bad guys. That said, the punching does work well, with a variety of moves at your disposal. You'll have to parry blows as well as throw your own, adding a strategic element.
