Amid missed opportunity, the powers that be behind the unreleased Batman: The Dark Knight game aren't talking.

A game was being developed by Pandemic (to be published by Electronic Arts), leading up to the movie's July 18 release, but beyond that, all traces of the game have been "as concealed as Bruce Wayne in the Batsuit," writes the Associated Press.

Perhaps more disheartening is the fact that neither Warner Bros, Electronic Arts, or Pandemic are willing to comment, says the AP, leaving many fans to wonder if the possibility of a later release still exists.

Whatever the case, the lack of a game may have cost Warner, EA, and Pandemic US$100 million in lost revenues, estimates analyst Michael Pachter.

"I think publishers have concluded the only games that work are the surefire $500 million box office kind of games like 'Spider-Man' and 'Shrek,'" he told The Associated Press. "The 'Transformers' game really surprised people how well it did, but the movie was big. I don't think they expected 'The Dark Knight' movie to be this big."
