"When Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight was revealed at Gamescom earlier this year , the trailer looked like a blocky version of the Batman: Arkham games, which we haven't gotten a proper sequel to in a decade. Yeah, the name has been slapped on VR spin-offs and mobile apps, but there hasn't been an honest-to-god open-world action game since Arkham Knight in 2015."
"When you really get into the groove, Batman is practically dancing across a battlefield as he dodges, parries, and punches, and even with the more snappy movement, it still feels fluid and rhythmic. It is quite literally an game, albeit with the slapstick flair you've come to expect from its parodies. Batman's finishing moves are less of the "you expect me to believe that man isn't dead?" brutality we see Bruce Wayne dish out in , and more silly stuff like"
Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight places a minifigure Batman in a blocky Gotham where grappling, descending on enemies, and investigating crime scenes mirror Arkham-era mechanics. The game restores parry-driven, rhythm-like combat where prompts trigger punches, dodges, and counters, producing fluid, dance-like encounters. Finishing moves lean into slapstick humor rather than brutal realism. The industry lacks a proper Arkham sequel since 2015's Arkham Knight, with Rocksteady shifting to Suicide Squad and Gotham Knights offering a flawed alternative. TT Games appears poised to deliver a faithful, playful Lego interpretation of classic Batman action.
