Why Is This Knight Different From All Other Knights?

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and TT Games will bring "Lego Batman: The Videogame" to next-generation/current generation platforms and the PC in 2008 with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment serving as the game's North American publisher, including all sales and distribution functions.

"Batman spans several generations as one of the most popular DC Super Heroes, and LEGO BATMAN will appeal to several generations of gamers who grew up idolizing the 'Dark Knight' and playing with LEGO toys," said Samantha Ryan, Senior Vice President, Development and Production, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.

"We're sure our fans will be excited to know that we have the same fantastic team at Traveller's Tales responsible for 'LEGO Star Wars' and 'LEGO Star Wars II' working on 'LEGO BATMAN'," said Tom Stone, Director of TT Games Publishing.

"There's a special magic to the LEGO incarnation of Batman that makes him accessible to a younger generation of his fans," said Paul Levitz, President, DC Comics. "We look forward to the videogame version extending this fantasy."

The "Lego Batman: The Videogame" story unfolds with Batman's greatest foes escaping from 'Arkham Asylum', creating their usual mayhem throughout 'Gotham City'. Tracking criminals, including 'The Joker' and 'The Penguin', players will utilize Batman's gadgets as well as build and operate fantastic vehicles in one or two player cooperative gameplay.
