For the first time ever, you can play as Robert Pattinson’s Batman, drive around in the tank-like Tumbler from “The Dark Knight,” team up with Anne Hathaway’s Catwoman from “The Dark Knight Rises” and take down Jack Nicholson’s Joker from Tim Burton’s 1989 “Batman” — all in adorable Lego form. The new video game, “Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight,” is a Batman fan’s dream come true, bringing together every iteration of the Caped Crusader across film, TV, comics and more.
Developed by Traveller’s Tales, known for its Lego video games with Marvel, “Star Wars,” “Harry Potter,” “Indiana Jones” and more, “Legacy of the Dark Knight” puts gamers in a massive Gotham City to play through Batman’s greatest hits. You’ll play as dozens of versions of Batman as he’s joined by Robin, Nightwing, Catwoman, Commissioner Gordon and Talia al Ghul on his journey to become Gotham’s iconic hero.
The amount of different costumes, characters and references in “Legacy of the Dark Knight” is staggering. From Adam West’s classic 1966 hero to the futuristic Caped Crusader from “Batman Beyond,” no iteration is forgotten. There are big-screen versions like Ben Affleck from “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” George Clooney from “Batman and Robin” and even Will Arnett’s own minifigure from “The Lego Batman Movie,” plus more niche characters like “Batman Ninja” and comics such as “Gotham by Gaslight” and “Absolute Batman.”
