LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight recently got a winning endorsement from none other than James Gunn, who promises that the game will have more than you might expect from a LEGO title.

TT Games Development Team Head Jonathan Smith describes how this story will "distill decades of fantastic storytelling" to immerse players in becoming Batman.
Smith also says that this story will start with a young Bruce Wayne heading out with his parents on their fateful trip...
