Batman LEGO Announced

After the massive success of the two Star Wars LEGO games, people have thrown out suggestions for the next franchise to be LEGO-ized, like Halo. Well, the next LEGO game will be… The Dark Knight, Batman, as announced in Variety.

Following the huge success of “Lego Star Wars” and its sequel, Warner Bros. has signed a licensing deal with Lego to produce a “Lego Batman” game.

In a significant, and likely costly, pact, Warner also nabbed TT Games, developer of the two “Lego Star Wars” games, to make “Lego Batman.”

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment will fully finance and publish the game itself, as well as handle all distribution in North America.

The story arc will probably be a promising Burton opening, followed by a few decades of awful Schumacher suck, followed by a maudlin Nolan ending - but that’s just a guess.

Since Warner Bros. bought the developer, can LEGO Superman be far behind?
