Hot on the heels of Lego Indiana Jones – released to coincide with the new movie – comes Lego Batman, a fast-paced action adventure that mixes comic book hero Batman with one of the world’s favourite toys.
Lego Batman brings the world of DC Comics’ Caped Crusader to life in an entirely new way. Players can explore a richly interactive LEGO Gotham City as Batman and Robin, capturing infamous villains – and even take control of the villains themselves.
There s nothing more appealing to our youngest fans than the chance to be The Batman, said Paul Levitz, President and Publisher of DC Comics, and the Lego Batman video game will provide a unique opportunity for them to immerse themselves in Gotham and Batman s adventures.
Developed by the team at Traveller’s Tales who made Lego Star Wars, Lego Batman unfolds with Batman’s greatest foes escaping from Arkham Asylum and creating mayhem throughout Gotham City. Tracking criminals, including The Joker and The Penguin, players will utilize Batman’s gadgets as well as build and operate fantastic vehicles in one or two player cooperative gameplay.
Lego Batman is due for release in September on PS3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo’s Wii console.
