This version of Batman, created by Scott Snyder and featured in the Absolute Universe comics since October 2024, presents a unique take on the character that’s been popular with comic book readers. Surprisingly, this Batman—who has a criminal past—will be playable in the game when it launches on May 22nd.

This version of Batman focuses on Bruce Wayne’s skills and determination without relying on expensive gadgets, and it’s become incredibly popular with fans. Now, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is adding this grounded version of the hero as a playable character, with the original creator, Scott Snyder, giving his approval.
