"On May 7, WB released what is likely to be the last big, new trailer for its upcoming Lego Batman game. Normally a launch trailer isn't much to write about, but this time around, someone working on the game's marketing team decided to craft the entire video around Seal's iconic "Kiss from a Rose" and in the process created one of the year's best trailers."
"Including "Kiss from a Rose" is yet one more example of how Legacy of the Dark Knight is mixing and blending together nearly all of the Batman franchise into a mega adventure that tells its own story using characters, moments, and vehicles from the past 80 years of the Caped Crusader."
"And it's not just Batman costumes from the comics, Arkham City references, or famous movie scenes that you'll find in Legacy of the Knight. There's even a direct reference to a Jim Carrey story about how much Tommy Lee Jones hated him while working together on the set of Batman Forever."
"How many kids will get that joke, or understand why "Kiss from a Rose" is a perfect trailer song? Not many, but they were going to play this game anyway, so why not have fun and get all the adult Lego and Batman fans pumped, too? Seems like a good way to sell extra copies of the game."
A new launch trailer for Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight uses Seal’s “Kiss from a Rose” as its central theme. The trailer is presented as one of the year’s best, with the song chosen for its iconic connection to Batman-related media. The game blends elements from across the Batman franchise, combining characters, moments, and vehicles from decades of the Caped Crusader’s history. References include comic costumes, Arkham City nods, and recognizable movie scenes. The trailer also includes a specific joke tied to Batman Forever behind-the-scenes stories, aiming to entertain both adult fans and longtime viewers.
