LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes Message Board older than one year ago

#legobatman Crossovers happen in comics all the time, where characters stumble into worlds that look radically different and meet alternate versions of themselves. Such a thing probably won't happen with the kid-friendly Lego Batman 2 and the Dark Knight's ultra-violent exploits in Batman: Arkham City. More »

Warner Bros. Interactive has officially announced LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes. The set was revealed by images inside LEGO toy sets last month, but WB has now confirmed that the game is set to be released later this year...

#legobatman The World's Finest team-up that's been rumored and then teased in advertising for months finally gets announced as Warner Bros. Interactive reveals Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes today. Aside from Batman, Robin and Superman, the game will also feature Wonder Woman and Green Lantern. More »

If Batman: Arkham City didn't exactly float your boat due to the fact that its cast of characters weren't made of interconnecting bricks, then you're a crazy person. Don't worry, though! Warner Bros. Interactive announced plans to tend to your dark desires in October, and today, the details of those plans appear to have solidified. According to artwork which has begun appearing in select Lego sets, the company is currently working on publishing Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes.

No information regarding the game's release window are outed in the ad, but the inclusion of heroes Wonder Woman and Superman -- seen in this ad, via MCV -- seem like a lock. We just hope Aquaman makes it in, so that we'll have someone that we can force our least favorite friends to play as.

No, you know what? Too mean.
