You would be hard pressed to take a look at mainstream culture and not see the Bat symbol hovering in the twilight. After The Dark Knight changed both the modern cinema landscape as well as people’s lives, we get a different dose of the Caped Crusader. This time, its a little more juvenile but fun nonetheless. This is Lego Batman.
Lego Batman continues to look better and better, just take a look at the awesomely cute vehicles of Batman along with the two main characters and tell me otherwise. I have always liked the level of humor that is incorporated into the Lego games form Travelers Tales, but I have to say that I am not sure if the Batman game should have as much funny in it. Something won’t sit too well with me to see Batman making jokes, although watching Robin fall off the side of the building was pretty priceless in this clip. What do you think, will Lego Batman be too funny?
As badass as Batman is appears, he would be jack shit without Alfred. Even superheroes need someone to make them scrambt eggs and was his undies. According to Batman canon, Alfred was a former espionage who knows his way around in a fight. Watch this trailer as he never drops his tray. Ever.
In a show of continued dedication to the PS2, Sony announced a new Lego Batman PS2 Bundle. The bundle will be priced at $149 and include a copy of Lego Batman and the DVD of Justice League. Not a bad bundle when you consider that the regular PS2 is priced at $129, that means you get a DVD and a game for $10 each. For those of you that are looking to stay a bit budget this is perfect for you, you can grab Rock Band, Singstar and a lot of titles for the PS2.
Lego Batman is coming. With Dark Knight just 2 weeks away and a Lego Batman game slated for this fall, its a good time to be the man behind the bat. Here are the first gameplay videos for the playable characters that are Poison Ivy and Bruce Wayne. Things to note: Uma Thurmann has nothing to do with this character. Bruce Wayne carries a briefcase and will beat the shit out of you with it. Robin’s first name is Dick. Just thought I would throw that in there.
We now know Mr. Freeze will make an appearance in what could turn out to be the best Batman game ever made. But here’s some gameplay where you get to take the reigns as The Joker and Harley Quinn. Looks good to me.
So you thought that having The Joker, Harley Quinn and Two Face was cool, well add in Mr. Freeze FTW. Lego Batman keeps looking better each time I take a peak at it. How great will it be to freeze Lego characters and then smash them into pieces, good times.

Here is a great video of the new Lego Batman game and the two newest villains to inhabit it’s Lego goodness, Two Face and the Scarecrow. The clip of Two Face dual wielding and flipping his coin is priceless, Scarecrow I was less impressed by, although he does hit people with his hat. The Lego video game franchise so far is very strong and continues to look good.
LEGOs and Batman. Two staples of my youth that have done the mating dance and produced, what could be, one of coolest games based on the Batman franchise ever made. Bask in the glory that is the debut trailer as you wait until September to play the game. From the looks of things, there will be some nice two player co-op action.
