Lego Batman's villain-packed trailer looks promising

by Griffin McElroy { Mar 1st 2008 at 8:30PM }

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.

Hate it...

Luka M. @ Mar 1st 2008 8:48PM

They are doing a really good job with these Lego games.

fischju @ Mar 1st 2008 8:48PM

I accidentally watched the end of Gametrailers on Spike last night, saw this, and fell asleep like this: 0_o

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

Cabcru @ Mar 1st 2008 9:24PM

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?

Evan @ Mar 2nd 2008 10:55PM

I too am disappointed by this video. Hopefully Lego Indiana Jones will be better...

samfish @ Mar 1st 2008 9:28PM

This might be the first good Batman game since...Batman Returns on the SNES. I can't wait.

Although the apparent lack of Legp Nightwing makes me sad.

Nicholas Sulikowski @ Mar 1st 2008 9:47PM

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

mike @ Mar 1st 2008 10:27PM

I hate batman but I love lego star wars and indy so Ill probably get this one too. Now wheres lego jurassic park, lego terminator and lego back to the future?

copa @ Mar 1st 2008 10:44PM

Patience, dude. They're trying to get Lego There Will Be Blood together for a 2009 release.

ThornedVenom (Patapornographer) @ Mar 1st 2008 10:29PM

That's it, I'm going to start the Harley Quinn Defense Force, who's with me?

Psaakyrn @ Mar 2nd 2008 4:50PM

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

copa @ Mar 1st 2008 10:43PM

Who's the green villain?

ThornedVenom (Harley Quinn Defense Force) @ Mar 1st 2008 10:46PM

It's the Hulk, silly.

Just kidding, I think that was supposed to be Killer Croc: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer_Croc

Markusdragon @ Mar 1st 2008 10:49PM

Killer Croc. Apparantly.

Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Mar 1st 2008 10:51PM

Killer Croc.

Anni @ Mar 1st 2008 11:23PM

I'm pretty sure that's the Murderous Alligator.

idiot @ Mar 1st 2008 11:23PM

does the sound of Lego bricks assembling turn you on as much as it does me?

Dracard @ Mar 2nd 2008 12:16AM

I want Bane. :(

Batzarro @ Mar 2nd 2008 3:42PM

Agreed: "I will BREAK YOU!"

Jonah Falcon @ Mar 3rd 2008 1:58AM

Who do you think let all the prisoners out of Arkham?

Lard @ Mar 2nd 2008 12:26AM

No Two Face? :(

Oreo @ Mar 2nd 2008 12:50AM

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.

Abhinav Kumar @ Mar 2nd 2008 1:07AM

Holy Nerdgasam Batman!

Bob Salmon @ Mar 2nd 2008 4:16PM

The next five years of my life just got planned out

Oreo @ Mar 2nd 2008 7:54PM

Takes you five years to beat a LEGO game?

Seattle Yonkers @ Mar 2nd 2008 2:19AM

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

quickshade @ Mar 2nd 2008 2:24AM

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.

Demaar @ Mar 2nd 2008 2:44AM

Huh... kinda would have expected there to be more lego, rather than a few bits here and there in a pretty normal setting.

Robobagins @ Mar 2nd 2008 3:37AM

Am I the only one who hoped the classic Adam West Batman music would be in this game?

L @ Mar 2nd 2008 4:37AM

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

grazen @ Mar 2nd 2008 11:31AM

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

ganrob @ Mar 2nd 2008 1:05PM

who is going to play heath ledgers part since he's dead?

Exodus @ Mar 2nd 2008 2:01PM

Wow that was just in bad taste...

matt @ Mar 2nd 2008 6:15PM

if you're going to be "edgy", at least make it funny. FAIL

Batzarro @ Mar 2nd 2008 3:56PM

Your matriarch.
