Batman and video games have a long relationship, going all the way back to the 1986 video game for the ZX Spectrum, Amstrad, and the MSX computers. Another relationship Batman has had for a long time is with the LEGO System of building toys. Not just in sets (the first Batman LEGO sets debuted in 2006), but also in video games. The first LEGO Batman video game was released in 2008. Developed by Traveller's Tales, this game was the first of their Lego video game series to be given an original story. This game was given positive reviews but was also criticized for a lack of innovation. This game would get two sequels and a spin-off that would feature other characters from throughout the DC Universe.
And now, the Caped Crusader has returned to the LEGO video game universe in the upcoming game LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight. Announced at the 2025 Gamescom trade convention, this game will have a new story and draw inspiration from the Batman: Arkham games. The game will be coming to the X-Box Series X/S, PlayStation 5, Windows, and later to the6 Nintendo Switch 2. Let's look at the trailer, shall we?
One thing that Batman is known for: the suiting up montage.
"Outta the way, Alfred! I need my grappling hook! Gotta look cool!"
I don't think those guys are safety inspectors.
Heh heh, rubber duckies.
I bet Batman just has a ton of fun scaring the heck out of criminals.
Paying homage to Batman Begins here. I also got a giggle out of the Bat-Emblem-shaped stain on Alfred's outfit.
Everything's better with Danny Elfman's "Batman '89" theme.
Mixing the Arkham games with the 60s series onomatopoeia. That's the words for noise.
1989 Batman reference!
"I am fond of blueberries, though. Wanna get blueberries?"
Catwoman thinks he sounds very handsome. And if she's like most versions of Catwoman, the mask is not the only part of Batman's suit she wants to get into.
Hey is that the Batmobile from The Batman?! Awesome!
Batman Returns-style Penguin! This game really is a love letter to all eras of Batman.
Not even the might of Bane can match the power of the Lego on the floor. Yeah, never leave Legos on the floor, kids.
Well, this game looks like it will be fun. Shame it's not coming to the first Switch. I'd love to play it on there. I do enjoy a good Lego game, though. This does look like a good excuse to save up for a Switch 2, though. I do love superheroes and LEGO, so this is right up my alley! Thanks for reading this blog entry! If you liked it, show it off! Take care of yourselves and each other! See you next time!
