"It's So Good, I Had To Make A Video" - The New Lego Batman Game Is Hiding An Amazing Easter Egg

Don't be a Basic Bat. LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight has gone down especially well with fans, but it's interesting to see how the developers have factored so many cool Easter Eggs into the game. As spotted by Panic's Cabel Sasser, one such secret requires a little bit of extra legwork in order to discover its true scale – you have to enter the code shown on Batman's computer screen in C64 Basic.

I'm a mega Batman nerd, so here's a selection of my favourite references in Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight

I will hold my hands up and say I did not expect Lego Batman: The Legacy of the Dark Knight to be this good, or to throw so many references to the Caped Crusader's vast history into your adventure around Gotham.

LEGO Batman Has Sold Pretty Well On Xbox So Far, Despite Forza & 007 Stealing The Limelight

Another big game came to Xbox this month, folks. 007 First Light and Forza Horizon 6 may have dominated the Xbox headlines over the last few weeks, but another major title launched in the back half of May as well; LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight. And, while the game doesn't seem to have had as much of a blockbuster start as those two titles, it looks as though it's sold pretty well so far - including on Xbox. The folks over at Alinea Analytics have this week shared some interesting sales

"He really defined and captured the essence of Batman" - How Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight's Shai Matheson honours the legendary Kevin Conroy

Batman, you've probably heard of him. This masked hero of the night has been protecting Gotham City across films, TV series, comic books and games for over 80 years. Many actors have portrayed Batman since his comic book-conception, with the likes of Christian Bale, Ben Affleck, Michael Keaton, and Robert Pattinson all taking on the role in films (and, who can forget George Clooney's nipple suit for his turn as Batman). In the games, meanwhile, we have seen names like Troy Baker and Will Arnett

Round Up: The Reviews For Lego Batman: Legacy Of The Dark Knight Are In

How does it hold up on other platforms? In case you forgot, Warner Bros. Games is still planning on releasing LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight on the Switch 2 – we just don't have a date yet. It's sad that we're slipping into unfortunate yet familiar territory with Nintendo's new(ish) console when it comes to some third-party games, but if it means the title will perform as intended, then so be it. For the time being, we can still get a bit of an idea of just how good Legacy of the Dark Kn

Lego Batman: Legacy Of The Dark Knight Is The Best Lego Game In Years

Imagine a Lego set that represents Batman 89, the Tim Burton classic that helped create the modern superhero blockbuster. Then imagine other sets that represent Batman Returns, Batman Begins, The Batman, and so on. You start breaking pieces apart from each set and piecing them back together. At first you can identify a chunk from one movie and distinguish it from another, but the more you mix, the more unrecognizable they become. Before long it's difficult to tell exactly where one begins and an

Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight feels like an Arkham game because Rocksteady co-developed it

Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight releases this week on Friday 22nd May (tomorrow, 19th May, for Deluxe Edition owners), and a recurring talking point around the game has been how alike it feels to play as the celebrated Batman Arkham games developed by Rocksteady Studios. Turns out there's a good reason for that: Rocksteady helped make it.

Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight review

There's something that really stood out for me as someone in the UK who collected American comics at the end of the 1980s. It's that each new comic you got was a doorway to a world of absolute chaos and gimmickry. I'm not talking about the comic stories themselves, but about the American ads that were suddenly blaring out of the alternate spreads. Topps bubble gum cards. Garbage Pail whatevers. Endless enticements to buy Bayou Billy on the Nintendo Entertainment System. You'd be reading about Ba

Feature: Frame-Gen to 30fps? Lego Batman's "Bizarre" PC Specs Sheet Is a Case Study in How Not To Market a Game

The minimum spec listed here aims for a 1080p 30fps experience with frame-generation, meaning that the base frame-rate in that case would be a nigh-unplayable 15fps.
