Many of us played with LEGO’s when we were little. Some of us had to play with Mega blocks because dad had to get a case of Bud pounders instead. Anyway, we have all played the Lego Star Wars games and had an absolute blast. Well now we get to enjoy and expect much of the same when Lego Batman: The Game is released for all systems, both current and next gen. No official word on the date yet, but ign.com has some intimate details of some of the storyline. It looks like shit is gonna hit the fan when all the criminals that the Caped Crusaded and his homoerotic sidekick had captured all escape and run amok on unsuspecting Gotham. They also claim that it will be the same team that worked on the Star Wars games so expect a high replay value and many unlockables. Check back often for updates.

Warner Brothers gave the go-ahead, and will be publishing a new Batman game based on Legos. After seeing the huge reception of the Lego Star Wars games, Warner Brothers approached TT Games about getting their skills for the Batman franchise.

The game will be coming to multiple consoles, so expect Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii versions with the possiblity of PSP and DS versions as well.

This should be, hands down, the best Batman game ever when it’s released in 2008.
