Wild Deepfake Video Of The Batman Will Make You Wish It Was Real

#artificialintelligence

Without a doubt, Matt Reeves' The Batman succeeded in infusing new life into Robert Pattinson's version of the Dark Knight. Viewers were treated to a darker, more violent version of Gotham City and a Batman who's just two years into his vigilante career. The end result is a box office earning that has surpassed $700 million and a resounding clamor for both Reeves and Pattinson to work on the sequel right away. But if this deepfake video would have its way, another actor would be in front of the camera – Adam West. In a Youtube video created by Corridor, a visual effects group that has been creating viral content, one of The Batman's trailers has been reworked with West's iteration of the Caped Crusader in it.


'Gotham Knights' is a Batman game without the Caped Crusader

DC's Fandome event was intended as a replacement for the company's usual big presence at this year's cancelled San Diego Comic-Con, and within minutes the company came out swinging with its first big announcement: Gotham Knights, a video game about a city without Batman, where his various proteges have to step up to defend their home. In the action-adventure title the player will get to play as one of four prominent members of the Bat-Family: Nightwing, Robin, Batgirl and Red Hood. Bruce Wayne is dead, and it won't take long for the villains of Gotham City to figure out that Batman is gone too. Luckily, he's left behind plenty for his associates to work with, including a well-equipped headquarters and of course, the ever-faithful Alfred. The mechanics lie in the vein of games like Marvel's Spider-Man for PS4 and the Assassin's Creed series, with plenty of stealth and brawling, though we also get to see Batgirl drive a pretty sweet bike through the streets of Gotham. The one standout is that this game will be a co-op title, with players able to work together to clear areas and defeat villains -- in the gameplay footage shown, we got to see Batgirl and Robin make their way through a building taken over by perennial Batman villain Mr. Freeze.
