Batman: Dark Tomorrow is an action-adventure video game developed by HotGen and published by Kemco for the Nintendo GameCube and Microsoft Xbox consoles. The Xbox version is not compatible with the Xbox 360. It is based on the DC Comics' character Batman and his iteration from the DC Universe source material, unlike most other Batman games which are adaptations of the character in film or television appearances.

Batman: Dark Tomorrow is a valiant attempt to bring the Caped Crusader to the GameCube but ultimately fails to soar. While ambitious in scope, its execution stumbles. Repetitive gameplay, awkward controls, and frustrating camera angles drag down the experience. Despite boasting a decent comic-inspired storyline and some visually interesting moments, Batman: Dark Tomorrow feels like a missed opportunity rather than a true superhero adventure.
This game is one of the worst games I've ever played. This is literally awful. Terrible. An abomination. I'm not even joking or playing around. It is that bad. Gameplay is just horrible. I literally cannot defeat the first boss. It isn't hard just to be challenging like with Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. It's literally in the worst kind of hard. It's just impossible to beat it. Well I'm not sure because there are people who beat it, but I don't wanna keep playing this bad excuse of a game. This is probably, no the worst Batman game to ever exist. I know I shouldn't judge it or review it since I can't get past the first boss, but this game pisses me off. And no, it isn't bad because it's hard. It's bad because it's badly design and unplayable.
This game is so unbearably bad that I cannot be bothered to write a detailed review. The platforming is slow and clunky, Batman is terrible to play as, and the combat is awful. If you want to know what the combat is like, when you beat an enemy, you have to swap through your gadgets, find the Batcuffs, then handcuff each enemy individually, and if you aren't fast enough, they can get up and gun you down to instantly kill you.

This is the worst Batman game (So far, I haven't reviewed the Batman and Robin videogame yet, so I don't know). The Story is that Ra's Al Ghul is secretly planning an end to many cities, while he uses the Joker as a distraction to cause asylum breakouts and gang fights, and only Batman can save the day (or can he because there was no way anyone could of known how to save it), this story is alright for a videogame, nothing special though. The Characters are the same as the comic series, but they are recognizable enough so you don't have to read them to know them, except Batgirl, and the Oracle, modern society is too used to them being the same person, the interactions with the characters works great and feels like part of the Batman universe. The Graphics are really bad, models look bland, and Batman's cheeks make him look awful,
The Gameplay has you fight bad guys to the next objective, without being able to knock them out, because they come back up if you don't cuff them, the dialogue can be awful, you can swing off on the sky above the screen, but only when roof jumping, and not any other time for some unknown reason, generic fighting moves, gadgets are not grouped up, making cycling through them take longer than necessary, random cars explode when you go near them, easy boss fights, some obstacles that attack you before you get avoid it, stealth sections where can can't tell which way an enemy is looking without risk being caught first, later in the game Batman's signal is getting jammed, yet he can talk in the next moment clearly, a camera that changes in the same area, discovering Scarface is a real entity, despite every piece of Batman media saying he's not, combos you won't get taught, and an ending you will never get, because to get the good ending, you need to know that a computer you MIGHT come across is supposed to be hacked by you, when it looks like every other computer in videogames that are only a part of the scenery. The Music is great, fits perfectly, and makes me realize that the game could have been great, oh well. Batman: Dark Tomorrow, play today, hate your decision tomorrow.

My brain will periodically unlock my memories to make me recall the fever dream that was this game. As a kid, it didn't really sink in how bad the game was.
Don't know how I played it without developing childhood depression.
