According to the synopsis of the new video game:
"LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is a brand-new open world action adventure videogame that invites players to embark on Bruce Wayne's epic journey to become the hero of Gotham City, inspired by decades of Batman films, television, comic books, and games, and jam-packed with Batman nostalgia, DC lore, and TT Games' signature brand of fun-filled LEGO humor."

"LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight" has been given a 2026 release window, but the full release date has yet to be revealed by Warner Bros.
