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.
Traveller's Tales has not revealed any details about the game other than it will star Batman fighting crime in Gotham City.
An early build has been created and shown at certain conferences (such as at Game On in London) by designer Jonathan Smith himself for the PS2 console, 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. Only a Fall 2008 date has been announced. No additional information about the game was given, aside from the style of the game focusing more on the original TV series and comics rather than the new movies. The Joker will make a playable appearance.
Upon being contacted, developer Jonathan Smith stated that they will definitely be developing more LEGO games in the future. Whether he means to say that they will develop more LEGO style games based on licensed properties or all LEGO games is not known.
