WBIE confirms Lego Batman

By Emma Boyes, GameSpot UKPosted Mar 27, 2007 10:34 am PT

Publisher enlists Lego Star Wars developer to bring crossover of caped crusader and construction blocks to gaming.

Ever since Lego Batman keyrings were distributed to attendees at the 2006 BAFTA Video Games Awards ceremony in London last year, rumours have been circulating that a new Lego game based on the Batman franchise was in development.

The game is finally official, as Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment confirmed its existence to US magazine Variety. The company said it would be fully financing and publishing the game itself, as well as handling distribution in North America.

The previous two Lego game titles, Lego Star Wars and Lego Star Wars II, have both been a resounding success, and UK-based developer TT Games (the marriage of Giant Interactive and Traveller's Tales) recently confirmed to GameSpot that it was working on "more Lego licence games."

Lego Batman will "follow a similar template" to the previous two Lego titles, according to the article, and will be coming on "multiple consoles" in 2008.

    Despite being a hardcore gamer, I have always like lego star wars. This look like it will be just as good as lego star wars.

    This is most definitely gonna rock after seeing the gameplay of Lego star wars 1 and 2.

    I love the sound of this. It'll be a must-buy for me unless they release it bug-ridden, or something similarly game destroying.

    I'm hoping it has a similar feel to the Lego Batman mini-movie that did the rounds of the internet a few years ago. Although that was clearly based on the TV series Batman, and I suspect this will be a more generic comic version.

    i am so looking forward to this game - not that i was a big fan of lego star wars - it was okay, but nothing great - i'm figuring i felt that way because i'm not too big of a SW fan - but batman is a different story. i LOVE batman! i'll be first in line for this one.

    after batman, how about a lego pirates of the caribbean game? i'd totally do that.

    Lego Star Wars were renouned for being the best Star Wars games for a while. I really hope this is the same for Batman. Could really be good...

    Unless it has co-op play, I won't be buying it. Disappointed there's no Lego Harry Potter yet.

    most batman games suck! and he's my favorite! I highly doubt that making a Bartman game a lego template will make it any better! hope they prove me wrong!

    Those Lego games could be a gravy train for WBIE. A marriage of two well-recognized licenses, family friendly gaming, and code that's easy to port to multiple platforms....cha-ching!
