It would have sucked balls, but the logic behind stopping development doesn't make much sense to me.

The Dark Knight is the biggest movie of the decade, and given the quality and subject matter will likely be a massive hit for years and years to come. With that being said, I don't really understand why they've 'missed the boat' by not having it ready for the theatrical or dvd release.

I'm sure there'd be plenty of interest in a quality TDK video game anytime, whether it be in a couple years, or in five years.
Doesn't really make much sense to give up on making one, when it will be a hit no matter when it comes out.

Look at Ghostbusters

Look at Ghostbusters
They're applying blockbuster logic to something which is not just going to be a summer blockbuster. Ghostbusters is unconventional in the way it's coming out, and we know EA doesn't do unconventional.

The movie didn't do nearly as well as they wanted to either. It wasn't near the success culturally or commercially that TDK was. It wasn't even one of the bigger movies of that year. It was borderline dissapointing, commercially. It did okay, and made money, but not the way a Batman movie would be expected to. Now it's on the radar. Until TDK, the Michael Keaton version was the cultural staple. Even with nearly 20 years of inflation on it's side, Begins failed to make as much money as the Tim Burton Batman.
So, it's a different story.
