Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and TT Games Announce Lego Batman: The Videogame
Press Release
London, England - Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and TT Games will bring LEGO BAAN: THE VIDEOGAME to next-generation and current generation platforms and the PC in 2008 with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment serving as the game's EMEA publisher, including all sales and distribution functions.
In LEGO BAAN: THE VIDEOGAME, TT Games brings the world of DC Comics' Caped Crusader to life in an entirely new way. Players can explore a richly interactive LEGO Gotham City as Batman and Robin, capturing infamous villains – and even take control of the villains themselves.
"Batman spans several generations as one of the most popular DC Super Heroes, and LEGO BAAN will appeal to several generations of gamers who grew up idolizing the Dark Knight and playing with LEGO toys," said Samantha Ryan, Senior Vice President, Development and Production, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. "Working with TT Games, we are confident they will continue their LEGO games' success with this title, and we will expand our publishing endeavors with the introduction of the LEGO BAAN franchise."
"We're sure our fans will be excited to know that we have the same fantastic team at Traveller's Tales responsible for LEGO Star Wars and LEGO Star Wars II working on LEGO BAAN," said Tom Stone, Director of TT Games Publishing.
"There's nothing more appealing to our youngest fans than the chance to be The Batman," said Paul Levitz, President and Publisher of DC Comics, "and the LEGO BAAN video game will provide a unique opportunity for them to immerse themselves in Gotham and Batman's adventures."
The LEGO BAAN: THE VIDEOGAME story unfolds with Batman's greatest foes escaping from Arkham Asylum and creating mayhem throughout Gotham City. Tracking criminals, including The Joker and The Penguin, players will utilize Batman's gadgets as well as build and operate fantastic vehicles in one or two player cooperative gameplay.
