Holy (adjective) (noun), Batman! Our second bit of Lego related news for the evening (this time, about a real game) comes in the form of this fantastic new trailer for Lego Batman: The Video Game. We're positive that fans of The Dark Knight can find something to get excited about in this video, whether it be the inclusion of fan-favorite villainess Harley Quinn, the hint of a Catwoman romance subplot, or the chance to see some sweet Lego Joker ass. If, you know, that's your thing.

Looks awesome! As long as they keep the gameplay interesting, it should be great.

I think I must be alone in this feeling of seeing it all before with the Lego SW games. I realise there's not a great deal you could probably do to expand on the basic premis but beating on endless minifigs and collecting billions of plastic dodads '...but with a Batman theme instead of a SW one!' just feels a bit meh.

You are not alone - I had a sinking feeling as I realized it's likely going to be the same game as Lego Star Wars, but transposed onto Batman. I don't know what I thought I was expecting, but I guess I hadn't thought about it until I saw what was happening in this trailer.
The upside to this is that it will likely be a quality game, with a good sense of humor. But I don't know if I'm interested myself.

I too am a little disappointed in that it does look like a reskinning...but I'm strangely okay with that. Perhaps I'm a consumer whore, but there is something very, very satisfying about the Lego SW formula, and I was very sad to get to the end of both games. I imagine there will be minor improvements to this game, but when you've already got 2 awesome games under your belt, why mess with what worked?

Not to mention the lack of Two-Face, Mr. Freeze, the Riddler, and Ra's Al Ghul.

Technically, Harley Quinn is part of the Joker Defence Force...

I'm sure Two-Face, Mr. Freeze, the Riddler, and maybe even Nightwing are in the game. There are LEGO versions of each of them, and should be in the game.

I love the litte Lego Penguin and Catwoman. Can't wait for this game.

I think this game will be better than lego starwars for one reason. They don't have a story to follow. Which means they have more control over the levels and how the game and story play out.

They're really overdoing it with the Lego games aren't they.

I'm all for it if it (finally) adds four player multiplayer and at some online multiplayer. Otherwise, meh.
