Some mods, however, go the extra mile, to the point where it almost feels like an entirely different game. A mod by user JulioNIB creates an entirely new game script forGrand Theft Auto 5that turns the player character into Batman.

In a showcase of the mod, the user displays the great lengths they and their collaborators went to create an authentic experience playing as Batman inGrand Theft Auto 5, from the creation of new melee combat reminiscent ofRocksteady’sBatman: Arkhamseriesto new gadgets like Batarangs and a grappling hook to defeat enemies with. The mod also allows players to summon different versions of Batman as companions and even different iterations of the Batmobile to drive around Los Santos in.

The mod is able to accurately recreate aspects of pastBatmangames in a completely different game. This isn’t the first time someone has attempted to bring a superhero to life in aGTAgame, as aGTA Onlineplayer recreatedSpider-Mancharactersnot long ago.

While there are aspects of the mod that look unpolished, the user has still declared this mod a work in progress, with more fine-tuning said to be done in the future.
