PEAK INCOMING (IN 2026)!

I did not believe. Now I am corrected.

[DaredevilFan]

Damn it actually looks so good, I’m glad they combined all movies together. Looks like it’s the Dark Knight minifig and the new 6+ used as outfits, with the Pattinson one being a new design. The new Patmobile looks really nice, hope they make it into a set 

[Agent Kallus]

Nightwing mentioned in the FAQs as a separate character from robin.

[Robert8]

Wow

Love that Penguin design 

Wish they were sets tied to it

 

(Not sure if I like Batman's voice though. Not deep enough)

Same area mentions only 7 playable characters, which is interesting, definitely not gonna be the usual LEGO formula

Really hoping that this is just for "story" missions and that there is a free roam option for side characters, villains, etc.

Misread that as several initially. Part of me is disappointed but I'm also intrigued. Some Lego game did have a bloated roster and more in-depth characters rather than a huge selection could be interesting.

Looking to make the cells in Arkham padded. I was planning on using Brick, Modified 1 x 2 with Studs on 2 Sides with Slope, Curved 1 x 1 x 2/3 Double but forgot about the gap they'd leave.

Anyone have any tips? I was thinking of just using plates and putting the slopes on them, but I don't really wanted to make the cells bigger unless absolutely necessary. 

[Mandalorianknight]

That game is yet another example of lego... I guess to put it optimistically, doing the best with what they have. It appears to be combining the Reeves and Bale universes into one story (I assume we'll see Keaton as well since he's also had sets in the past few years). But it's a game that seems pretty likely not to have anyone outside the bat-family in it, which doesn't give me much hope for the future of the theme. I also didn't see anything hinting at future sets- the only new character design I saw (aside from putting Zoe Kravitz in the Michelle Pfieffer suit) was Bane, and that's clearly not a design intended to be a physical minifigure.

[THELEGOBATMAN]

Really intrigued by this game. It uses a lot of movie designs and certain scenes, but doesn't seem to fully follow any of them.

I thought it'd be just one movie after another, like The Skywalker Saga, but now I'm really curious as to what the plot is actually like.

Wonder if it'll also incorporate comic designs, since there's no other way to include characters like Nightwing.

[DaredevilFan]

Seems like the Pattinson suit is the main one, I could see that being the pre-order bonus 

[psqidexslizer]

Looks bizarre, to put it lightly. Why does Penguin have Devito’s head and hair but Farrell’s body? Why is Caine’s Alfred working with Battinson? Is that Keaton Batman with Ledger Joker? It almost seems like they wanted to recreate the movies as Lego games but were too lazy to give the characters distinct designs outside of Batman so they just merged them together or just picked one design for a character and used it for all variants of them.

I’m not a gamer so I wasn’t planning to pick this up regardless, but the choices made here seem weird.

Seeing how Golden Age, Bale, Battinson and Keaton are all confirmed to be in the game, I think that Batman will just be skins.

So I actually think the 7 roster will be:

• Batman
• Robin
• Nightwing
• Batgirl/ Batwoman
• Batwing
• Alfred
• Commissioner Gordon/ Redhood

I hope the confirmation that he’s playable suggests a new Nightwing minifig next year.

Apparently the game’s story is an amalgamation of multiple Batman movies, comics, cartoons and videogames. So that’s why it’s not sticking to any continuity and why the characters are mixed up, the game is its own continuity.

I am begging for the rumoured polybag to have that suit. The game version is just gorgeous.

There’s probably just going to be a crap ton of skins. Especially for Batman.

"LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight will feature seven playable characters, including Batman, Jim Gordon, Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl, Catwoman, and Talia al Ghul. Each character is equipped with unique skills, combos, and gadgets – like Batman’s Batclaw, Jim Gordon’s foam sprayer, Robin’s line launcher, and Catwoman’s whip."

Yeah, I'd say this bodes poorly for the theme's future, it'd be very easy to have a story just essentially focusing on the Arkham set villains with the film costumes unlockable, then have the three sets next year be basic Batman sets to tie in. 

I am really curious how this entered development because this seems like it'd be no-ones ideal outcome on a production level, half adapting half a dozen movies and awkwardly stringing them together with at least one character not in any of them

watch it be Robin Blake (the figure is in plainclothes has no exclusive parts)

Which means you'll never stop Mr. Freeze.

But yeah no unless a friend nags me into it the only console games I play are ones where I want to experience the story in a franchise I like (Fallen Order) or Marvel Rivals, which between all the cool stuff it has and being so free you don't even need an xbox online subscription to play is kind of an outlier for me. I probably wouldn't have spent $60 or $70 or whatever they're charging even if this was an amazing game, but I definitely won't for "we kinda mashed the few batman sets released over the past 4 years into one story just so kids have something other than skirting-the-line-of-PG-13 movies to see these designs in"

I assumed it was literally just the official Battinson with dual-molded legs and the new helmet, but no, you're right, it's new. A few minor changes- few enough that I wouldn't be surprised if we see this design in a new Pattmobile this march. I don't see why TT games would go out of their way to alter his pouches a bit, so I assume it's based on a figure we haven't seen.

I love that not only is that an absurd character roster- everyone's favorite, Talia Al Ghul- but calls out 3/4 abilities nobody would ever associate with that character. Ah, yes, Jim Gordon's famous Foam Sprayer. Batman's notorious Bat Claw.

The best possible interpretation of this is that Arkham's development was extremely rushed and as such the game devs didn't have any of the designs ready for most of development, but I think it's much more likely it was just lego throwing the Afols a little bone before returning to our regularly scheduled nothing.

I can see what happened:

2024, Billund:

Lego: "We need a batman game. Those used to be popular."

*Lego slides TT games a list of the sets they've put out the past few years*

TT games: "Oh... no other superheroes? Just Batman? Ok... no system sets based on the comics... looks like we can do... huh... Bale, Battinson, or Keaton. But we really only have Joker and 1-2 other villains. Ok, I guess we could mix them up a bit so we could use all the villains, bring in Batgirl from the 4+ sets, and that gets us... something. Are you guys planning on putting out more comic sets or sets based on other superheroes?"

Lego: "Maybe. But they'll be either extremely small or extremely expensive, and it'd be like 1-2 max."

[HeirOfWakanda]

Looks fantastic. Also it seems the recent leak about Pattinson, Bale and Keaton being the playable eras was correct.

[Swordy]

Hm. I’m a bit underwhelmed. The emphasis on recreating movies is a wrong one, I feel. The weird mix between The Batman against Dark Knight and Tim Burton characters is, well, weird. They have a LEGO Arkham with comic-style Bat-villains, so I wish they had gone with that instead. The gameplay, meanwhile, reminds me too much of LSW:TSS; maybe future trailers can alleviate that concern.

Even if I wanted to play, TT Games won’t be releasing it to the OG Nintendo Switch, my current console. Nothing I’ve seen so far would entice me to upgrade. (Honestly, not much of anything would entice me besides a new LEGO Marvel game or LEGO City Undercover sequel/second remaster.)

What. So I won’t even be able to play as the villains? That’s the main shtick of LEGO games—specifically LEGO Batman! This is TT Games, after people complained LSW:TSS had too many characters or something, shifting into reverse so hard that I’m flying out the front window.
I’m confused on how they’ll handle Gotham in free world now; golden bricks aren’t nearly as interesting as new characters in my experience.

Meanwhile in 2018, TT Games released the most comic-filled LEGO DC game while the DCEU sets were dominating the line. We still don’t have half of DC Super-VIllians’ character roster, and that was one of the lighter ones.

If they were limited to the past few years, let’s not forget they could’ve gone the TAS series route too and given us Mr. Freeze and Harley, as well as that glorious Batsuit.

Same here. Must be whomever took over in the video games after the TAS voice actor passed away. At this point, just give me Will Arnett doing his Keaton impression.

That reminds me of when DC Super-Villains inserted your custom character into the cutscenes. Thank the Maker if that’s the case. I’d far prefer playing as one version of Bats (probably TDK one) than awkwardly switch between the four throughout the story.

I don't even think the complaint was too many characters, I think it was moreso a confusing character system for a lego game, which is ironic considering the whole class system probably came about in an attempt to make the "only certain characters can do *x*" thing more clear. But kids aren't stupid, they can figure out which characters are force users/dark siders/can fly/imperial/etc.

Yeah I can't imagine what they could put in the free roam that'd actually be interesting- skins? But I doubt many people are going to be hunting down all the iconic Talia skins, or popping off when they find the Gary Oldman skin for Gordon (I would, if I bought the game, but I won't buy it.)

To be fair, it's not like the DCEU was all they had to pull from. There were many, MANY comic sets in that 2015/2018 era. Most of the main cast have designs pulled directly from physical minifigs.

You never know, maybe we'll get missions against TAS harley and freeze alongside a TAS batsuit skin.

[DaredevilFan]

One of the main leakers from the game said there will be more than 7 characters, they’ll be slowly revealed closer to launch. Mentioned villains as well, so seems there will definitely be a smaller roster but should still get some good characters. It also looks like there’s an emphasis on skins, so should be able to choose versions of character we like. Still very excited but some weird choices made for the game. I believe they’ll reveal gameplay today, so should know more 

[CF Mitch]

   

YES PLEASE!

While it obviously sorely lacks a larger DC Universe, I think this will be a great game. We all know Batman works perfectly as a standalone character, so I believe they've made a great story for this.
It also seems like it will explore Bruce's origins/training as Batman, which I'd really love it's true  I'm such a sucker for origin stories  

The whole multiverse-ish thingy of Batman characters is interesting, too. I think it makes sense to have only a few playable characters and I suspect others, including villains, will be unlockable for freeplay.
Not too big a fain of TDKR-Bane, though, but oh well..

Mitch

At first, I was interested in a new LEGO Batman game since I loved and played the first three games.  In fact, the first game was what sparked my interest in both LEGO and Batman many years ago.  I'm dissapointed that this is not an original story like the first three games, but instead a weird merging of previous Batman films.  Being bound by previous films really limits creativity, and you can see that reflected in its character choices.  Although I think they are good films, I don't think that the Nolan or Reeve films are that fantastical or comic-booky so in my opinion they are a poor decision to make a LEGO Batman game on.  Also in general, I am tired of LEGO mostly regurgitating content from films decades old, rather than being creative and innovate with something fresh and new.

[BrickBob Studpants]

I find the concept of multiple versions of the characters being mashed together to create its own universe intriguing, but I do hope we have a lot more playable characters than just the 7 that were announced. Being able to play as even the most random obscure side characters was a staple of the TT LEGO games from the very beginning!

Looks like someone forgot about that iconic scene in The Dark Knight where Riddler sneaks up on Gordon but then Gordon pulls out his iconic foam sprayer and sprays foam all over Riddler. And then Batman shows up and says “Wow, Gordon, it’s a good thing you carry that foam sprayer with you everywhere you go” and then uses his Bat Claw to claw some bats.

[PGBQW]

I know I should not take a Lego game too seriously but it really bugs me: In the trailer you can see the Ace Chemicals-Joker origin, yet he looks like Heath Ledger's? Why? You can see that's make up! 
 

Maybe they're fighting in a makeup factory and he got his scars thanks to a sharp hamburguer? I do not like how Penguin looks!

I understand that Talia is there only so you can have a Player 2 during the Training levels, but who would want that? Why does Gordon have a foam spray to foam his enemies? Why the hell would I want to do that?

Don't get me wrong, conceptually I love the idea but I wish they'd gone with comics designs and just recreated iconic scenes if they really wanted to do that.

I guess I've sadly aged out of lego games, oh well. In any case, I'm glad this exists if it will bring someone else joy.
