I missed it initially, but Kotaku posted a fairly long video a couple weeks ago of gameplay footage from E3 of the forthcoming LEGO Batman video game. The video shows several scenes with playable characters that include Mr. Freeze, The Riddler, Catwoman, The Joker, Harley Quinn, and Poison Ivy.
More recently, DESTRUCTOID has a bunch of new screen shots that feature Man-Bat — who, I’ll be honest, I’d never heard of:
The game comes out September 1st, and rest assured that I’ll be taking some time out from my BrickCon prep to play the game and write a review.
Oh, shame on you, Andrew! ;) The Man-Bat is featured in the very first episode of Batman: the Animated Series.

While I’m not exactly a fan of seeing the rogues work together like that I must say that I REALLY look forward to this game. Brings together my two greatest geeky hobbies!
You never heard of Man-Bat? For shame!!
Nice pics. Thanks!
The first episode of Batman: TAS which features Man-Bat:
To be fair, Man-Bat is a fixture of the B-list of Batman’s gallery of rogues. Shows up once in a while but is hardly one of the big ones. Not hearing of Joker and Penguin I’d find a hard time believing, but when was the last time you heard someone say, “I hope Nolan includes Calender Man in the next film!”
I hope lego makes those man-bat wings irl
Did anyone else look at all the new screenshots and notice Batgirl in the background?
