LEGO Batman: The Videogame

LEGO Batman: The Videogame blends action, adventure, and platforming gameplay that combines the characters and setting of the Batman universe, continuing with the humor and style of the LEGO tradition of adapting known franchises such as Star Wars and Indiana Jones with visuals based on LEGO. The basic concept is the same, with characters and objects built up using LEGO blocks, but here shown against surroundings drawn in a regular fashion. Most of the environments are side-scrolling with a fixed camera perspective, but in 3D with quite some depth.

It is not based on a certain movie or comic, but on the franchise as a whole with a new story. The animations and sequences are rather quirky and share nothing with the darker atmosphere of the contemporary Batman movies. A cast of villains has escaped from Arkham Asylum and now roam through Gotham City wreaking havoc.
