Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and TT Games have confirmed the release of the long rumored LEGO Batman game.  LEGO Batman: The Videogame will release on all current and next-gen consoles as well as PC sometime in 2008.

“Batman spans several generations as one of the most popular DC Super Heroes, and LEGO Batman will appeal to several generations of gamers who grew up idolizing the Dark Knight and playing with LEGO toys,” said Samantha Ryan, Senior Vice President, Development and Production, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.  “Working with TT Games, we are confident they will continue their LEGO games’ success with this title, and we will expand our publishing endeavors with the introduction of the LEGO Batman franchise.”

“There’s a special magic to the LEGO incarnation of Batman that makes him accessible to a younger generation of his fans,” said Paul Levitz, President, DC Comics.  “We look forward to the videogame version extending this fantasy.”

“We’re sure our fans will be excited to know that we have the same fantastic team at Traveller’s Tales responsible for LEGO Star Wars and LEGO Star Wars II working on LEGO Batman,” said Tom Stone, Director of TT Games Publishing.

No news yet if the release of the video game will coincide with or implement any storylines from the upcoming The Dark Knight film to be released in July 2008.
