"Leaked Footage of Canceled Nolan Batman Game That Inspired Shadow of Mordor Surfaces Online"
Leaked footage and images reveal gameplay from a canceled Nolanverse Batman game developed by Monolith Productions, which eventually became Shadow of Mordor. Codenamed Project Apollo, the game would have featured Christian Bale's Dark Knight, the "Tumbler" Batmobile, gadgets, detective work, and a nemesis system. Warner Brothers retooled the game into Shadow of Mordor due to concerns about concurrent Batman franchises, and it's suggested that Christopher Nolan himself may have canceled the game to focus on The Dark Knight Rises.
