Warner Interactive has officially announced TT Games is developing LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, after various rumors and speculation over the last couple of months.

You can’t really miss out on this. The Steam sale may have begun last night, but Warner’s gone into bargain mode, releasing a bundle that includes both Batman Arkham games – Asylum and City with all of its DLC – plus Lord of the Rings: War in the North, Bastion, all three FEAR games and expansions, LEGO Batman and Harry Potter Years 1-4 and Watchmen: The End is Nigh. If you want to look at it another way, you’re paying £40 for Arkham City and getting everything else free. Sound good? Go get it here.

Thanks, RPS.

Inserts included in a new collection of LEGO Super Hero toys pretty much confirm what everyone already knew: LEGO Batman 2 is in development for multiple systems. While the new LEGO sets are due for an official release in 2012, some US store are already stocking the toys, the boxes of which contain ads for the Warner game inside the pages of the instruction manual. Called LEGO Batman 2- Super Heroes, both the Bat and Justice League pals Superman and Wonder Woman are shown. More LEGO sets are to include Green Lantern and villains such as Lex Luthor and The Joker, so it’s being speculated that they will, in turn, pop up in the new videogame. The first word on a LEGO Batman sequel showed up over the summer via an LA Times feature on Warner. A release date along with an official announcement has yet to be made, but the game is expected sometime next year on 3DS, PC, PS3, Vita, Wii, and Xbox 360.

Thanks, MCV.

Warner’s announced that over 1 million units of Lego: Batman were sold in the UK.

An insider who shall remain nameless – because Jostiq won’t tell – has sent the site a picture of a rumored Xbox 360 Elite holiday bundle.

As you can see by the picture, it has Pure and LEGO Batman with it, along with a rather uninteresting slogan: “It’s More Fun Time on Xbox 360″.

We’ll mail Microsoft about it, but don’t expect anyone there to cave into our demands.

Lego Batman’s won the Children’s BAFTA for Best Videogame 2008.

“We’re absolutely delighted; it’s a very special accolade for the whole team,” said TT Games boss Jonathan Smith.

“To get this acknowledgment, here in our home country of the UK, to be acknowledged by the British Academy for the work that everyone’s done on LEGO Batman, was really thrilling.”

Lego Batman producer Rich Earl has told EG that you’re only going to get an appropriate amount of Lego games per year from TT. No one wants to take the piss, do they?

“There’s an expectation now that there would be a Lego game per year, and we certainly feel that one or two games would be the right amount per year, otherwise there’d be a saturation of Lego games and they’d lose the charm,” he said.

“We’re also conscious that we’re making games for young kids. We don’t want to take the piss out of the consumer and end up making any old rubbish. We’re hoping people feel our games are of a high standard and we want to continue doing that.”

Speaking with GI at Games Convention last week, Traveller’s Tales producer Rich Earl revealed that Lego Batman is set for it’s own TV series.

“We’re looking to do… a Lego Batman series,” he said.

“I think they’re looking at doing a one-off initially,” he went on. “And they’re basically able to utilise the assets, because our team has brought Lego characters to life.”

The cartoon “will use the [game] engine” and is “being done by a separate studio in the States,” confirmed Earl, who also revealed the initial episode will be 20 minutes long.

On Shacknews. Everyone needs butlers, innit. Bruce butler Alfred looks as though he’s handy with his tray, so thank God for that. There’s a movie and screens through there.

Against Joker, Mr Freeze, and Manbat, Batman needs all the help he can get. Luckily, a new challenger has appeared to join Batman in his unending fight for justice. Her name: Batgirl.

Kotaku also notes that the caped crusade-her will have access to all of Batman’s neato tech, including the Glide Suit and the Sonic Suit.

Expect to jump into Lego Batman’s zany world in September. Until then, enjoy some new screenshots after the link.

Gaming Today’s reporting that a new Lego Batman villain’s been outed.

Dr Kirk Langstrom “transformed into a powerful man-sized bat after a risky lab experiment produces unexpected results,” according to Warner Bros.

As you do. There are some shots through there. Of Dr Kirk Langstrom the giant man-bat.

Tomorrow soon.

Again, this slipped through the net during the conference fury. SCEA announced a new PS2 bundle last night, including the machine with LEGO Batman for $150.

It’s out this year, and also features Justice League: The New Frontier on DVD. Brilliant.

After the break. See Bruce Wayne rather run through the Lego-filled Gotham streets bashing goons with his briefcase.

We don’t know how that fits in with the DC Universe, but we’ll find out in September.

Go look. It’s Saturday.

Worthplaying has them. We’re trying to maintain enthusiasm, but this is starting to look like a Lego game with Batman characters, as opposed to a Lego games with Indiana Jones or Star Wars people.

Go figure.

How much can you take? A lot, evidently. Warner Bros has put out even more screens of the upcoming Lego Batman showing, you know, Lego Batman. On IGN. The game’s out in September.
