It isn’t easy being a criminal in Gotham City, especially when you have to compete with iconic baddies like The Joker, Penguin, Mister Freeze, and many more. So why not become a henchman instead? The latest trailer for LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight details all the steps necessary for this admittedly risky career path, including matching outfits. Check it out below.
Benefits include money and access to unique vehicles, but things can get dicey once The Dark Knight appears. Playing as Batman (or one of six other characters), you’ll not only have to deal with thugs wielding weapons but also shields that can block direct punches. There are also the brutes, who won’t go down easily. Of course, as the PSA notes, Batman’s gadgets are indeed better, and no plan survives first contact.
Hilariously, it even provides a reason why the henchmen never go down with a single strike. It’s because standing in place, disoriented and confused, may motivate The Bat to go beat up someone else. Hey, if it works, it works.
LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight debuts on May 29th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC, with the Nintendo Switch 2 version set for later. It’s an amalgamation of the Caped Crusader’s illustrious history, and even includes recreations of classic scenes, like this one from Tim Burton’s Batman.
