Robin's highlights never looked so.... chunky

The much anticipated video game LEGO Batman will momentarily rest on the shelves on September 28.  We say “rest” because the game is widely expected to be a sell-out.

This is the third LEGO series adventure game, so it has some big shoes to fill: LEGO Star WARS and LEGO Indiana Jones.  Like these other games, expect some tom-foolery and unexpected hijinks that simultaneously spoof the Batman enterprise and bring it to new vistas.

A gaming twist that will be exciting for players is the chance to play on the villains’ side.  So not only can you battle to save Gotham City, but you can fight to destroy it.

Here’s the trailer for the game which will simultaneously be released for all the major consoles.
