That would be nice. I can kind of guess I could see that, but they'd need to get it right for Batman. Good length intro, the right music.. Who am I kidding? They're Telltale! They know what they're doing when it comes to this stuff.
I don't get why they do Crowd Plays any more than a few days before the Episode is out either, but on the bright side, that should mean the Episode is fairly close to completion since Episode releases are not too far off from the Crowd Plays in the past. Perhaps the episode could release early August in this case? I'm certainly hoping so, anyways.
Some more tweets since that one

Yeah, that's a concern too. In the past, people were not too bad with early spoilers, but those were also done the evening/night before an official Episode launch. I am curious to see how this one goes, especially considering Batman is a bigger franchise than Minecraft or Borderlands. I mean, I don't think it'll be too bad even with this potentially being a few weeks early, but it's still odd though. We'll just have to play it by ear and see what happens.
The crowd plays in the past always had the episode out the following day. This is really stretching it and if its not out the following Tuesday I'm not going to lie. I'll be pretty pissed off.

I'm unfortunately not thinking it will be out that next Tuesday as the Episode has not showed up on any rating boards yet. The fact that it is close enough to be showed off in a Crowd Play is a good sign and all, but even so, it still seems a bit too early since Job hinted that they were aiming for August.

They might do what they did for the Minecraft stream where they cut it off halfway through the episode for people on the stream, while showing people at the event the whole episode.
Ugh. No reason to get so pissed this early. I'll reserve judgement for when the release dates announced next week, but regardless of what they do a crowd play this early is incredibly rude for fans unable to attend comic con.

sigh... Well, that's a bit disconcerting. Hopefully, like you said, it comes early August. (Really hoping for the 2nd, as I am not too happy with their early crowd play.

I mean, Minecraft is huge, a lot bigger than most people realize. I'd argue they are on relatively similar levels of influence, although Batman with 75 years behind it definitely puts it over the edge. And I guess Batman has a lot of older fans then Minecraft, which are you know, on the Internet.
But yeah, it'll be interesting I watch. Almost as interesting as when the Batman fans react to the Marvel game, whether it's embracing it or claiming its blocking Season 2 of Batman (Déjà vu), but I'm sure it'll be fine.

Pretty disappointing to be honest. So secretive about everything and then they're just going to play the entire episode in front of fans presumably a week or two before release. Hundreds of fans. What are they gonna do, take all their phones away? Some of the episode will probably be online Saturday.
If it doesn't come out the first Tuesday of August then I'll be pretty pissed about it.

I think they once did the same thing with Tales from the Borderlands.
I guess they do it because the first episode is going to be free for IOS users eventually.

BATMAN – The Telltale Series will be making its worldwide debut as a digital download with its first episode in August on consoles, PC/Mac, and iOS or Android based devices. The series will be available to purchase at retailers starting September 13th in North America as a special Season Pass Disc, which will include the first of five episodes in the season, and will grant access to the subsequent four episodes as they become available for download via online updates. The series will then be available to purchase at retailers across Europe on September 16th.
When exactly in August will the game premiere digitally? Stay tuned for next week, when the world premiere trailer debuts alongside the digital release date!
For those heading to San Diego Comic Con next week, we have an extra surprise. On the night of Saturday, July 23rd, you can be among the VERY FIRST to experience the premiere episode of BATMAN - The Telltale Series at a special crowd play event on the big screen ahead of public launch! Join Troy Baker (voice of Bruce Wayne) and host Greg Miller (Kinda Funny) along with some of the Telltale team for an evening full of fun, excitement, and perhaps even some giveaways as the crowd will be encouraged to shout and direct the choices on-screen.
To register for the crowd play event, email telltale_batman_sdcc@telltalegames.com for further information.
We're excited for the upcoming premiere, and excited for you to get your first look at the trailer next week!
I guess it's good news, although that's about two months away. Story Mode got its disc 2 weeks after it launched, I hope that isn't the game for Batman.

We now have official 100% conformation that it will release at some point in August as apposed to "around August", should we have bets on whether it will release on the 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd or 30th :P

I think 2nd or 9th are the safest bets. With the crowd play event on 23rd of July I imagine the episode is pretty much done, so now it only needs to get classified.

I'm a little bummed personally that the retail release will be at least a few weeks behind the digital release by the sound of it. I'm gonna have to avoid spoilers and try not to cave and purchase ep 1 digitally beforehand haha

Telltale Games Batman Villians Will Be Re-Born & Bruce Will Be Tested
I'm with you, bud. I just want a glimpse of the menu for it, 'cause I love me some stylized menus. (Such as the Michonne one.)
In addition to the menu, imagine if Batman also has stylized intros like Michonne does... [drools]
Heh. At the end Job says: "Look out for Batman: The Telltale Series, premiering the-- before the end of the summer..." Was that a slip up, perhaps?
I'm guessing he was going to say "premiering this August" as he had hinted at in other interviews, but took it back this time around for some reason?
That would be nice. I can kind of guess I could see that, but they'd need to get it right for Batman. Good length intro, the right music.. Who am I kidding? They're Telltale! They know what they're doing when it comes to this stuff.
Pretty sure he was going to give a concrete release date.
Hey .@GameOverGreggy, what if we got a few hundred fans together at SDCC to crowd play BATMAN Ep1 before anyone else?
That better mean Episode 1 will be out the following Tuesday!

Well this is a dick move on their part. I love Telltale, but this is bogus.

What? They did it the night before episode 1 released for Tales. Same for Story Mode.
I guess I remember it wrong then.
Wasn't the Minecraft one in a rather creepy looking location? Or was it Tales?
It was Minecraft, but that wasn't for the crowd play that was just if people wanted to come by and play the game before it was released.
So there'll be a crowd play so long before the release of the actual episode?
Nah, it was just that Telltale really needed some human organs.
I'll probably be ok with it, because I don't think I'll voluntarily look for footage of it online, so I might be safe till it comes out.
Stupid idea ttg...
I sure as hell am not tuning in
The retail release date revealed but not digital download availability date? Cmon

I didn't notice it on first look.
