“We are thrilled to announce LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark
Knight, a fantastic new game designed to entertain and provide
enjoyment for every type of player,” said JB Perrette, President
and CEO, Streaming & Games, Warner Bros. Discovery. “Our
remarkable team at TT Games is working hard to deliver a fresh
take on the beloved Batman universe, offering new and improved
features beyond previous LEGO games that will excite both
longtime fans and gamers of all levels.”
“All of us at TT Games are incredibly proud to reveal LEGO
Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, a brand-new game that’s a
real celebration of everything Batman,” said Jonathan Smith,
Strategic Director & Head of Development Team, TT Games. “We
take players on Bruce Wayne’s epic journey to become the
legendary hero of Gotham City, incorporating iconic moments from
across Batman’s history with our special LEGO twist. Our all-new
crime-fighting combat features are amazing fun and take LEGO
gameplay to an entirely new level.”
“Whether he’s the wrathful Dark Knight, the brilliant detective,
or the unlikely father of the ‘Batfam,’ Batman has constantly
evolved—shaped by the world around him while remaining a
timeless symbol," said Jim Lee, President, Publisher, and Chief
Creative Officer, DC. “This game brings together nearly every
facet of his legacy, letting you experience the full range of
what makes Batman iconic. Built with incredible care,
creativity, and deep respect for the mythos, TT Games has

“This is a Batman game that fans will instantly connect with,”
said Fredrik Löving, Senior Vice President and Global Head of
GAME, The LEGO Group. “Our partners at Warner Bros. Games, TT
Games, and DC have created an experience that delivers the
style, intensity, and authenticity of Gotham City’s greatest
hero, infused with the family-friendly fun of the LEGO brand,
making it an exciting experience for LEGO Batman fans old and
new.”
The adventure begins with the origins of Batman as a young Bruce
Wayne trains with The League of Shadows, and throughout the
story-led campaign, players will build a family of allies with
well-known characters including Jim Gordon, Robin, Nightwing,
Batgirl, Catwoman, and Talia al Ghul to help confront an
ever-growing threat from a Rogues Gallery of DC Super-Villains,
facing the likes of The Joker, The Penguin, Poison Ivy, Ra's al
Ghul, Bane, and more.
With a dynamic new LEGO Batman combat system that encapsulates
the Caped Crusader’s distinctive fighting style, every hit packs
a punch, with fluid attack chains, counters, and over-the-top
takedowns. Whether playing as Batman solo or in the two-player
local cooperative mode, players can use iconic Bat-gadgets such
as Batarangs to distract or stun enemies and the Batclaw to reel
them in. Partner characters have their own signature gear,
including Jim Gordon’s foam sprayer, Robin’s line launcher, and
Catwoman’s whip, providing a variety of options to approach
every enemy encounter and boss battle. For those looking for a
tougher playthrough, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight goes
beyond the familiar LEGO game experience with the new Caped
Crusader enhanced difficulty setting and an even more
challenging Dark Knight difficulty level.
The game takes place against the backdrop of Gotham City, an
open-world LEGO playground full of crimes to stop, puzzles to
solve, rewards to collect, and surprises to discover around
every corner, down every alleyway, and on every rooftop. Players
can grapple, glide, or drive through the environment, zipping
from building to building with Batman’s grapple launcher,
soaring over the city with the Batglider, or cruising around in
style with a range of Batmobiles and Batcycles. The Batcave can
also be customized to display vehicles, trophies, and
collectibles, plus an assortment of wearable Batsuits based on
past Batman related media.
Players can unlock the Golden Age Batsuit inspired by Detective
Comics #27 (1939) by signing up for a WB Games account.**
