Hot on the heels of its recent release, Lego Indiana Jones, Traveler’s Tales is set to release Lego Batman: The Videogame. Look to follow the adventures of Batman through just about any medium you can get your hands on. The game will be released simultaneously for the PC, Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, PSP, Wii and DS. In Lego Batman: The Videogame, players will explore a very interactive Lego Gotham City as the dynamic duo, Batman and Robin. Not only will the players be able to control these infamous superheroes to thwart villains, but in certain instances within the game, players can even take control of the villains themselves. In the initial press release, three new characters were introduced: the hero Nightwing and two new villains, Clayface and Bane.

Although the game was previously announced, the recent press release emphasizes Traveler’s Tales’ dedication to fans by the inclusion of these three characters which should have the comic buffs excited. Nightwing is an alternate identity for Batman’s sidekick, Robin and shares many of the same traits. Expert martial artist, trained gymnast, escape artist, stealth, and familiar with all aspects of criminology. Bane is a villain which is the product of four decades of incarceration with an experimental military drug test thrown in to add flavor. These additions make for a strong combatant who’s an expert strategist. In game, Bane can pass through poisonous gases and his strength enables him to throw rather large objects as if they were nothing. Finally, Clayface is a character known for killing without remorse. Also possessing great strength and the ability to change his shape at will, he can mimic the powers of whatever superhero or villain he copies. In the game, he possesses a super-jump ability and can smash through walls or make his body elastic.

Along with the characters, Traveler’s Tales was pleased to announce that fans only have to wait until September of this year to get their hands on the Lego’d world of Batman.
