Lego Batman: The Videogame is an upcoming video game developed by Traveller's Tales. It will be released on September 23, 2008 for the Nintendo DS, Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, Wii and Xbox 360. It will be similar to the Lego Star Wars series, in that it will both be a game based on a licensed property and have environments, objects and creatures made out of Lego. Warner Bros. will be handling the publishing, marketing and financing aspects.
Gameplay
The core gameplay will feel very similar to its Lego Star Wars II counterpart. Players will be able to fight on land, sea and in the air using a number of powerful Batman, Robin and villain-controlled vehicles, including the Batmobile, Batboat and Batwing. New moves featured in Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures will be added, such as swimming underwater, seen in a gameplay trailer. New abilities include picking up and carrying enemies and walking on tightropes over the city.
The characters are able to use many unique abilities: the Joker is able to attack enemies and activate machines with a joy buzzer, the Penguin is able to glide over gaps with his umbrella, Catwoman can attack foes with a whip in a similar fashion to Indy from Lego Indiana Jones, and Killer Croc can punch enemies with such force that they fly off-screen. Both Batman and Robin have their animated TV show dressing style, but players are able to swap Batman and Robin's costumes, called suits.
Batman starts in grey suit and can wear a rocket/gray suit, a sonic/blue suit, a bat bomb/grey suit and a shadow/black suit. Robin can wear a technology/red-yellow suit, a dive/red-blue suit, a magnetic/red-grey suit and a gravity suit. When you find those suits you can buy them in the hubs and play as those in free play
Once a player completes a level, that level is unlocked in 'Freeplay Mode'. Freeplay mode allows the player to replay any level they've completed with any characters they've unlocked, unlike Story Mode, which only allows players to switch between the characters involved in that scene. This permits access to areas containing extras the player was unable to get before.
The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions will offer 720p and 1080p displays.
Confirmed Characters
Column-generating template families
The templates listed here are not interchangeable. For example, using {{col-float}} with {{col-end}} instead of {{col-float-end}} would leave a <div>...</div> open, potentially harming any subsequent formatting.
| Type | Family | Handles wiki table code? |
Responsive/ mobile suited |
Start template | Column divider | End template |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Float | "col-float" | Yes | Yes | {{col-float}} | {{col-float-break}} | {{col-float-end}} |
| "columns-start" | Yes | Yes | {{columns-start}} | {{column}} | {{columns-end}} | |
| Columns | "div col" | Yes | Yes | {{div col}} | – | {{div col end}} |
| "columns-list" | No | Yes | {{columns-list}} (wraps div col) | – | – | |
| Flexbox | "flex columns" | No | Yes | {{flex columns}} | – | – |
| Table | "col" | Yes | No | {{col-begin}}, {{col-begin-fixed}} or {{col-begin-small}} |
{{col-break}} or {{col-2}} .. {{col-5}} |
{{col-end}} |
Can template handle the basic wiki markup {| | || |- |} used to create tables? If not, special templates that produce these elements (such as {{(!}}, {{!}}, {{!!}}, {{!-}}, {{!)}})—or HTML tags (<table>...</table>, <tr>...</tr>, etc.)—need to be used instead.
Plot
The game will star Batman and his sidekick Robin fighting crime and villainy in Gotham City. Batman's most dangerous and murderous foes have all escaped from Arkham Asylum and divided themselves into three groups, each led by a "clever" and well-known villain. Various gameplay footage shows Joker and Harley luring Commissioner Gordon to an abandoned amusement park where they take him captive to use in a trap for Batman. Others include Catwoman stealing a valuable diamond and the riddler outlining his plans with his group.
There will be 36 levels in the game (18 for the heroes and 18 for the villains), as well as some secret levels, including Wayne Manor in which Bruce Wayne is an unlockable character. You unlock villain levels as you progress through the game. The hub for the heroes, similar to those in Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga and Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures, will be the Batcave, where you can buy figures, and see the unlockables. Alternatively, the hub for the villains is Arkham Asylum. There are many different environments in the game, usually based on the villains Crime style including an Ice Cream Factory, a Garden Center, the Gotham Sewers, and Gotham's seedy underbelly.
Development
An early build for the PlayStation 2 console was shown at certain conferences (such as at Game On in London) by TT Games Publishing's Head of Production Jonathan Smith, with a small playable area sporting the exact same HUD as Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy.
Developer Jonathan Smith stated that the company will be developing more Lego games in the foreseeable future.
Soundtrack
Danny Elfman's score from the 1989 Batman movie and its sequel, Batman Returns, will be used in the game.
