The rumor if true is disappointing. Specifically the fact that the game will take place after the movie. To me that limits the potential of the story greatly even as it resolves continuity issues. The problem is who is Batman without a epic nemesis. That is right Batman is just another costumed freak. The reason the Dark Knight is such a good movie is, because there is a compelling villain.
What does this time frame actually leave us with. Disenfranchise clowns roaming the streets causing trouble in the absence of their master. Perhaps the Joker escapes from prison to oppress the people of Gotham once more. Do we seriously expect the developer to create a new compelling villain just for this game? Sandbox to me in this instance says you are going to spend all your game time beating on unoriginal street thugs. With no decent overarching storyline to be had.
To me perhaps the best time to have set this game would be in the lead up to the Dark Knight. There is story there, and more specifically it would serve as a prequel for the events that take place in the movie. Play Batman as he pushes the mafia into the corner, or investigate the Jokers early crimes. All of this means that the player could play in Batman's golden age as he is taking back the streets of Gotham. Rather then a point after the movie when he is once again a hunted vigilante.
