Some games just make their whole studio burn.

That was the case for the licensed game based on the 2008 blockbuster The Dark Knight, which was supposed to come out the same time as the movie (and later the home video release, and then … well, never). Star Wars: Battlefront (the originals, not the one that came out in 2015) developer Pandemic worked on the title, but it became such a disaster that it sent the studio on a path to ruin.

Now, we can get a good peek at what the game might have looked like, via the Did You Know Gaming YouTube channel, which specializes in gaming trivia and history. You can watch their video on the doomed Batman game below.
