Just yesterday we shared the fact that there's a retro-styled Game of Thrones game, which draws inspiration from the TV show. To continue that theme we now have a video that recreates The Dark Knight as it would be in a retro game; this is a rather fun recreation of key events as they could work in a game of days gone by.
The work of CineFix as part of its "8-bit Cinema" series, this is pretty entertaining. Seeing previously epic sequences in a top-down retro style is certainly a quirky approach — not out of place considering all of the licensed Batman titles we were graced with in the '90s — and certainly gives them a fresh perspective. Perhaps the film will seem that 'bit' less dramatic from now on.
Check it out below.

I would have LOVED to see a version of The Dark Knight in the same 8-bit fashion as the first Sunsoft Batman game. Could totally work!
This video was entertaining to watch. Besides the obvious Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past references, I picked up The Addams Family as well.
It's funny, I was just listening to the soundtrack for this movie and then I see this article.
Dang it all, I just got off a Batman kick. I guess I'm going to have to re-watch the trilogy now . . . again . . .
That's awesome. Dark Knight is one of my favourite movies of all time, this was just amazing.
"To continue that theme we now how a video that recreates The Dark Knight as it would be in a retro game"
This sentence might need some fixing somewhere with grammars, tommy ...
you know what, that showed me how much i love the movie.
So, thumps up from me.
Joker: "How about a magic trick? I'm going to make this pixel disappear!" 😜
I saw it didn't have one of my favorite lines. It's when Joker walks up to Two-Face and says "Hi."
@DkFluttershyGuy Joker: "I'm Like a dog Chasing pixels. I wouldn't know what to do with one if I.. caught it!"
Very cool.
@Captain_Gonru:
Nope, you're not the only one disliking the movie. If you ask me, in terms of artistic direction, music and "fun", the original two Tim Burton movies were a lot better.
A bit too much taken from A Link to the Past to be as thoroughly entertaining as the premise suggests. Also... that's really not 8-bit. I dunno if anyone's claiming it is, or if "8-bit Cinema" is just a cute-sounding name.
If anything it's 16 bit.. but that's not as cool yet.
