Glu Mobile made some big-name comic-based game announcements at this week’s Comic-Con.

First up we have a new Transformers game in development. Scheduled for worldwide availability this fall, Transformers G1: Awakening goes back to the Transformers’ roots with characters, story line and scenes from the original first-generation cartoon series.

Next, superhero fans will be forced to wait until winter for action from Superman/Batman, a new Glu title that pairs the fan favorites on a quest to fight evil. Although they’ve worked together in the comic world, the Glu game marks the first time the dynamic duo has been paired in a mobile game.

In addition to the Superman/Batman game, Glu is also planning to sell related mobile content like wallpapers, ringtones, animated screensavers, voice tones and ringback tones.

With the launch of one of summer’s most anticipated flicks mere days away, Glu Mobile has launched The Dark Knight mobile game, based on the film that hits US theaters on July 18.

To fight the chaos sweeping over Gotham City courtesy of The Joker, gamers become Batman. As the action hero, players get to use all sorts of cool weapons, gadgets and combat maneuvers like Batarangs, grappling hooks and stealth abilities.

Along with the game, Glu also plans to offer a slew of wallpapers, voicetones, music tones and animated mobile screensavers based on The Dark Knight movie.

Batfans in North America, Asia and Latin America will all have access to the game this week; folks in Europe, the Middle East and Africa have to wait until the film debuts in those regions on July 25.
