Fans of the Dark Knight, brace yourselves: the next Batman game has reportedly been leaked, and it’s not what anyone expected. After years of rumors about a potential follow-up to Batman: Arkham Knight or even a continuation of the Gotham Knights universe, new evidence suggests that Warner Bros. and TT Games are working on a brand-new LEGO Batman title.
The Leak That No One Saw Coming
According to multiple sources, including a recent GameBlog report, a new LEGO Batman game is in development. This would mark the first major entry in the franchise since LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham in 2014. While Warner Bros. has yet to officially confirm the project, leaked details suggest that the game could tie into the upcoming The Batman – Part II film, set to release in 2026.
The rumor gained traction after a Reddit thread surfaced, citing insider sources who claim that TT Games has been quietly working on the project for some time. Additionally, a cryptic tweet from @LEGOTtNewsI hinted at a "big return to Gotham," further fueling speculation.
What Could the Game Be About?
If the leaks are accurate, this new LEGO Batman title could take inspiration from recent DC films, including The Batman (2022) and its sequel. Given the LEGO series' history of humor and expansive rosters, fans might see a mix of classic Batman villains alongside newer interpretations, like Robert Pattinson’s brooding Dark Knight and Paul Dano’s Riddler.
Another possibility is an open-world Gotham, similar to LEGO DC Super-Villains, allowing players to explore the city with Batman and his allies in classic brick-smashing fashion. Co-op gameplay, a staple of LEGO games, would almost certainly return.
Why This Is Big News
The LEGO Batman series has been a fan favorite, blending the charm of LEGO with the dark (yet family-friendly) world of Batman. The first two games were critical and commercial successes, and while LEGO Batman 3 expanded the scope with cosmic adventures, many fans have longed for a return to Gotham’s streets.
With WB Games Montreal’s Gotham Knights receiving mixed reactions and Rocksteady’s Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League struggling to meet expectations, a lighthearted LEGO Batman game might be exactly what DC fans need.
When Can We Expect an Official Announcement?
Warner Bros. has remained tight-lipped, but with Summer Game Fest and other gaming events on the horizon, an announcement could be imminent. If development is indeed tied to The Batman – Part II, we might see a late 2025 or early 2026 release.
For now, all eyes are on WB and TT Games. Will the Caped Crusader return in brick form? All signs point to yes—and we couldn’t be more excited.
Stay tuned for updates as this story develops.
(RUMOR) The next LEGO Game by TT Games is heavily rumored to be a Movie Based Batman title that will span multiple movies across the Caped Crusader’s career. It is reported to potentially be revealed next month at Gamescom ONL on August 19th.
