March 27, 2007 - Today, Warner Bros. affirmed all the rumors by announcing the development of LEGO Batman: The Videogame for "next-generation and current generation platforms and the PC in 2008." It's still up in the air what this means, but we're banking on the game coming to pretty much every system possible like its Star Wars cousins.
"We're sure our fans will be excited to know that we have the same fantastic team at Traveller's Tales responsible for LEGO Star Wars and LEGO Star Wars II working on LEGO Batman," said Tom Stone of Traveller's Tales.
Anyone who played either of the LEGO Star Wars games should perk up at the mention of Traveller's Tales. Most likely, this means that the game will feature some awesome co-op action for Batman and Robin, as well as a huge cast of characters from the Batman universe. Hopefully, LEGO Batman has the same humorous sensibilities of those previous games; the campiness of the Batman series screams for a LEGO-ization.
The game takes place after a massive exodus out of Arkham Asylum by the most nefarious villains from Batman's Rogues Gallery. Batman and cohorts will be charged with tracking down criminals, and bringing them to justice. Players can utilize an extensive arsenal of classic Batman gadgets, as well as build and pilot a wide array of vehicles ripped straight from the annals of Batman history.
There's no official word on the game's release date, but for now you can sate your thirst for the LEGO-caped Crusader on the awesome box art in our image gallery below.
Groovy, isn't it?
