It will be the first new title from TT Games since its release LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga in 2022. While this play had a massive cast, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight only has a few playable characters.

In the past, the playable characters in LEGO games often overlapped, giving players less incentive to use all available options. LEGO BatmanThe focus on a smaller cast should ensure that fan favorites like Batman, Robin, and Catwoman have their own unique playstyle.
While there won't be many playable characters to choose from, there will be many different incarnations of Batman to be seen.
