Lego Batman: Legacy Of The Dark Knight Fixes Batman & Robin’s Biggest Non-Nipple Problem
Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is a game that remixes and reimagines plot points and characters from across Batman’s cinematic history, blending different film interpretations into a single cohesive narrative. Each chapter draws inspiration from specific Batman films, with the first chapter remixing elements from 2022’s The Batman—including a parody of the iconic car chase between Batman and Penguin—while the second chapter draws from Tim Burton’s original 1989 Batman film, recreating scenes such as the Flugelheim Museum vandalization. Characters transition between their different film incarnations; for example, the Penguin starts as the ambitious crime boss from The Batman and evolves into the animalistic creep portrayed in Batman Returns.
The game is densely packed with Easter eggs and references for Batman fans, including a tribute to Kevin Conroy, the legendary voice actor behind Batman in animated series for three decades, and Alfred quoting Michael Caine’s infamous tweet about Batman Begins. The game also features references to famous artworks within its Lego-recreated museum scenes. According to the coverage, the game manages to correct a major problem from Batman & Robin, one of the most infamous entries in the film franchise’s history.
