The article fails general notability criteria. If we had an article for every canceled videogame, Wikipedia would have to double its servers. The article should never have been made in the first place. Feed back  ☎ 21:41, 20 July 2012 (UTC)  Feed  back  ☎ 21:41, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Let's put the relevant information (developers and $101 million estimate) into the main Dark Knight article then. Connor Behan (talk) 07:53, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
 * My opinion is that a small section in Batman Begins (video game) detailing the failed sequel would be relevant, but it should stay away from The Dark Knight's page. Anything more substantial than a small sentence saying a planned video game adaptation was never produced would be too trivial for the article. Then again, I wouldn't challenge a consensus to merge them though. I just don't think this subject warrants its own article. Feed  back  ☎ 10:24, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

"While I agree that there's notability to retain the information, this article is nothing more than a longer version of "it was canceled". There is no further information (such as gameplay information), which is why I'm pushing for a merge instead. --Teancum (talk) 12:25, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge to The Dark Knight (film) as there's always a section for a film-based game in the actual film article (should there be a game). Since it has no independent notability it's an easy merge. Also to the nominator, please see Don't worry about performance. --Teancum (talk) 12:56, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep I don't believe keeping this will cause wikipedia to "double its servers". There obviously are a many articles about various ships, planes, software, etc. where the item never made it off the drawing board. That alone isn't a valid criteria. Batman is a major franchise so this "crash and burn" story is notable. --MarsRover (talk) 19:20, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep The game, regardless of release status, is covered enough to be independently notable and is worth of its own article. Ducknish (talk) 01:37, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge to Batman Begins (video game). Belongs in the video game page, not the movie page. - The Bushranger One ping only 00:30, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
