Lego Batman Trailer and Preview

Preview and Trailer for the upcoming Lego Batman

Lego Batman is an upcoming video game developed by Traveller's Tales. It will be similar to the Lego Star Wars series, in that it will both be a game based on a licensed property and have environments, objects and creatures made out of Lego. Warner Bros. will be handling the publishing, marketing and financing aspects. The game has been announced for Fall 2008.

The game will star Batman fighting crime in Gotham City. An early build for the PS2 console was shown at certain conferences (such as at Game On in London) by designer Jonathan Smith, with a small playable area sporting the exact same HUD as Lego Star Wars II. Characters on screen each have individual animations and both Batman and Robin have their original TV show dressing style. There will 36 levels in the game (18 heroes and 18 villains). After you play through the level from the heroes perspective you will unlock the level from the villains perspective.

A harbor level has been shown in a screenshot, featuring vilains Killer Croc, The Scarecrow, and Catwoman. A similar grappling system to the one used in Lego Star Wars II will be used. The style of the game will focus more on the original TV series and comics rather than the new movies. The Joker, The Penguin, and Harley Quinn will be playable characters. Developer Jonathan Smith stated that the company will be developing more LEGO games in the future.
