The article analyzes the video game Batman: The Telltale Series and its „paratexts” such as comics through the lens of remediation as a basic tool of constructing a transmedia environment. Superheroes depend, to a great extent, on their „transmedia” superpowers as they constantly oscillate between various media iterations and theirs stylistic/narrative features. Superheroes should not be perceived as comic books-based inventions, but rather as entities organically connected with both transmedia visual styles and transmedia modes of storytelling.
