Gotham City Imposters FPS announced for XBLA, PSN, PC download

Gotham City Imposters lets you play as Bats or Jokerz in a new downloadable FPS
Gotham City Imposters, an all-new downloadable Batman-related first-person shooter, has been announced for release on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC by Warner Bros. Interactive and DC Entertainment.

Players will battle for control of an unhinged Gotham City overrun by impostors inspired by the DC Comics characters Batman and The Joker in this game developed by Monolith Productions.

Gotham City Impostors is a multiplayer game unlike any other, giving players the opportunity to rebel against conformity as they customize their own characters.

Posing as amateur vigilantes or villains, gamers will create their very own Bats and Jokerz characters using unprecedented customization options including insane costumes, homebrewed gadgets and a wide range of traditional and imagined weapons.

“Gotham City Impostors blows apart expectations for superhero games with an exaggerated take on first person shooters, set in a part of the DC Universe players have never seen before,” said Samantha Ryan of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “Monolith is creating a game that turns Gotham City upside down and we think fans are going to have a blast with this creative twist on multiplayer heroism and anti-heroism as they play up the classic rivalry between Batman and The Joker.”

No trailer or screenshots for the game yet, but it’ll reportedly be available this October.

So what do you think, does this sound like a good or bad idea?
