Warner’s confirmed Lego Batman for an October 10 release in Europe.
The game’s releasing for 360, PS3, PS2, PSP, Wii and DS. And PC. Just in case.
Press release - including plenty of content details - after the drop.
LEGO Batman: The Videogame, published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and developed by TT Games, ships to retail stores on 10th October on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, PlayStation®2, PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system, Wii™, Nintendo DS™ and Windows PC.
Gotham City’s most notorious criminals have broken out of ARKHAM ASYLUM and it’s up to the DYNAMIC DUO to stop them. Based on the iconic DC Comics’ heroes BATMAN and ROBIN, as well as many other memorable characters from the DC Comics Universe, LEGO Batman: The Videogame blends the wildly popular Batman universe with the versatility of LEGO building and the humour of the LEGO minifigure. Unlike any LEGO game done in the past, players can now explore their wicked side and play the game as the villains, not just the heroes.
From the rooftops to the sewers, players will experience Gotham City like never before as they choose to play from the perspective of either the villains, entering the game from Arkahm Asylum, or the heroes, swinging into action from The BATCAVE. LEGO Batman: The Videogame features fifteen hero levels and fifteen villain levels – for a total of thirty unique action-packed levels. Play as comic heroes Batman, Robin, ALFRED PENNYWORTH and BATGIRL, or wreak havoc as The Joker, HARLEY QUINN, MR. FREEZE, TWO-FACE and many more!
LEGO Batman: The Videogame features a completely original storyline, encompassing the lighthearted charm of LEGO and the multifaceted lore of Gotham City. LEGO Batman: The Videogame features co-op multiplayer allowing for easy pick-up-and-play. Players can also get behind the wheel of legendary vehicles, such as the BATMOBILE and BATWING. Enhance the abilities of the Dynamic Duo by unlocking Batman and Robin’s suits to help fight Gotham’s villains, or use The Joker’s electric buzzer to give our heroes a shock.
LEGO Batman: The Videogame is a fast-paced action adventure title for fans of all ages.

I’m sort of glad this is done now, I want to see what Traveller’s Tales do next after their recent promise that they won’t milk the lego games to death.

Maybe one day there’ll be a Lego game that’s any good.

Please have 60’s elements… Please have 60’s elements…
Ahem!
From my perspective though, this one has the best IP of the lot. That doesn’t mean it’ll be the best game of the lot though, sadly. I’ll be watching this one though, as Batman and silly go together really well when done right.

Bah. I really wanted to hate it but…
Its actually really good. Easily the best of the Lego (insert childhood hero you want to see buggered with) games.
Still tears, and when you lock V-Synch on it turns into a bit of a slideshow but it’s as slick as snot, and for those of you who really loved all the other Lego games it’s bloody good.
Just…no more please, TT. No more. Move on.

peej, you know there’s going to be more, much more, especially now that Warner Bros owns Traveler’s Tales. We can only hope that they’ll be good…

Hmmm. Well this is the most technically accomplished of the series. Some of the lighting and spot effects are very nice indeed.
But it really does play more or less exactly like everything that’s gone before from ‘em in the Lego series, with a couple of character-specific tweaks.
Bat-nuts and kids are going to go mental for it though.
