We haven't heard from TT Games, developers of the Lego games, since their release of Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga in 2022, but it turns out it's because they were hard at work building the next installment in their popular superhero series. Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight was just announced at Gamescom's Opening Night Live.

In a shake-up for TT Games' LEGO series, the newly-announced LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight features just a handful of playable heroes, even if many more DC Comics characters will appear in the game as enemies or NPCs — something that is prompting plenty of fan debate.
