LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight gameplay and story details

The FAQ page for LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight states that the game is a "brand-new open world action-adventure video game that invites players to embark on Bruce Wayne's epic journey to become the hero of Gotham City".

The title is said to be "inspired by decades of Batman films, television, comic books, and games, and jam-packed with Batman nostalgia, DC lore, and TT Games’ signature brand of fun-filled LEGO humor".

Not only that, but LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight features seven characters to play as, with these being Batman, Jim Gordon, Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl, Catwoman, and Talia al Ghul.

Each character has unique mechanics, such as Batman’s Batclaw, Catwoman’s whip, Robin’s Line Launcher and Jim Gordon’s foam sprayer.

There are also vehicles to drive, with the iconic Batmobile looking like it may give the Rocksteady rendition from Arkham Knight a run for its money.

In terms of the plot, TT Games says that there will be a "story-led campaign from origin to legend, bringing together iconic moments from the Caped Crusader’s 86-year history in film, television, comic books, and games".

The moment-to-moment gameplay too sounds like it is taking a leaf out of the Rocksteady recipe book, as there will be a "combat system delivering an authentic expression of Batman’s fighting style with fluid attack chains, over-the-top takedowns and powerful gadgets".

Is there a LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight trailer?

Yes, there is a LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight trailer.

It was revealed during Gamescom 2025 Opening Night Live, and it’s a real corker. Check it out just below!

What immediately jumps out is just how gorgeous the game looks. Not only do the LEGO models look fantastic, but Gotham City looks suitably moody and rain-soaked, with excellent physically-based materials bringing a lot of texture and life to the visuals.

At times, it almost looks like real LEGO come to life.

What’s more, the TT Games brand of humour is on full show. Matt Berry Bane stepping on LEGO genuinely got a belly laugh out of us when we sat down to watch Gamescom ONL.

And though we’ve already touched on it, it’s clear to see just how much of an inspiration Rocksteady’s Batman games were. After the disappointing Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, this somehow feels like the true successor.

If you want a better look, then you're in luck, as a Developer Diary from the Future Games Show Spring Showcase showed off a deep dive into the game:
