Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and TT Games will bring Lego Batman: The Videogame to current- and last-generation platforms including PC in 2008.

In Lego Batman, TT Games brings the world of DC Comics’ Caped Crusader to life in an entirely new way. Players can explore a richly interactive Lego Gotham City as Batman and Robin, capturing infamous villains – and even take control of the villains themselves.

“Batman spans several generations as one of the most popular DC Super Heroes, and Lego Batman will appeal to several generations of gamers who grew up idolising the Dark Knight and playing with Lego toys,” said Samantha Ryan, Senior Vice President, Development and Production, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “Working with TT Games, we are confident they will continue their Lego games’ success with this title, and we will expand our publishing endeavours with the introduction of the Lego Batman franchise.”

“We’re sure our fans will be excited to know that we have the same fantastic team at Traveller’s Tales responsible for Lego Star Wars and Lego Star Wars II working on Lego Batman,” said Tom Stone, Director of TT Games Publishing.

"There's nothing more appealing to our youngest fans than the chance to be The Batman," said Paul Levitz, President and Publisher of DC Comics, "and the LEGO BATMAN video game will provide a unique opportunity for them to immerse themselves in Gotham and Batman's adventures."

The story unfolds with Batman’s greatest foes escaping from Arkham Asylum and creating mayhem throughout Gotham City. Tracking criminals, including the Joker and the Penguin, players will utilise Batman’s gadgets as well as build and operate fantastic vehicles in one or two player cooperative gameplay.
