LEGO Batman Reimagines an Iconic 1989 Moment
Warner Bros. Games and DC have unveiled a new cinematic for LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, recreating the famous Gotham City museum takeover from the 1989 Batman film.
The sequence sees The Joker transforming the museum into his own twisted art gallery, now delightfully reimagined in LEGO form. The cinematic is set against Partyman by Prince, the track that accompanied the original scene in Tim Burton’s Batman.
A Story Spanning Batman’s Legacy
Developed by TT Games, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is an action-adventure title charting Bruce Wayne’s journey from origin to legend.
The campaign draws inspiration from decades of Batman films, television series, comics and games, blending DC lore with the series’ signature LEGO humour.
