It's not the best kept secret in the world and we knew it was coming, but today LEGO Batman has been confirmed! Warner Bros has struck up the deal with Traveller's Tales, the developers behind the hit LEGO Star Wars series, who plan to release the title in 2008.

The LEGO Star Wars franchise has been a gold mine for the developers and although the first title was billed as a "kid's game" it received the "Game of the Year" award from Kidzworld.com and peaked at the top of the UK charts during early May 2005.





We'd expect most of major villains to make an appearance and hopefully we'll see a great range of vehicles such as Joker's helicopter, the Penguin's submarine, Scarecrow's biplane, Killer Croc's speedboa and of course the Batmobile!

To the batcave! Until 2008.
