According to Warner Bros. Games, Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight begins with the origins of Batman as a young Bruce Wayne, and will include run-ins with characters like Jim Gordon, Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl, Catwoman, and Talia al Ghul. Villains in the game include iconic Batman characters like The Joker, The Penguin, Poison Ivy, Ra’s al Ghul, Bane, and more.

Legacy of the Dark Knight also sports a new combat system which aims to capture the feel of Batman’s fighting style. The game can be played in local cooperative mode as well.

“The game takes place against the backdrop of Gotham City, an open-world LEGO playground full of crimes to stop, puzzles to solve, rewards to collect, and surprises to discover around every corner, down every alleyway, and on every rooftop,” reads the game’s official description. “Players can grapple, glide, or drive through the environment, zipping from building to building with Batman’s grapple launcher, soaring over the city with the Batglider, or cruising around in style with a range of Batmobiles and Batcycles. The Batcave can also be customized to display vehicles, trophies, and collectibles, plus an assortment of wearable Batsuits based on past Batman related media.”
