LEGO Batman ™ 2: DC Super Heroes officially announced

LEGO has just officially announced the release of the LEGO Batman ™ 2: DC Super Heroes video game for the summer of 2012. Like the other games in the LEGO range, this one is developed by TT Games and produced by Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment. The game is clearly announced as the sequel to the previous game, LEGO Batman, sold over 11 million copies.

It will be available on all market platforms: Xbox 360®, PlayStation®3, Nintendo Wii ™, PC, Nintendo DS ™, Nintendo 3DS ™ and PlayStation®Vita.

On the program: Gotham City and a slew of DC super heroes with Batman and Robin joined by Superman, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern to face Lex Luthor and the Joker among others. We will find the vehicles seen in the sets of the Super Heroes DC Universe range such as the Batmobile or the Batwing. The press release also mentions the possibility of using new gadgets like the Batman's Power Suit or Robin's Hazard Cannon and new abilities like the ability to fly, super-breathing (super breath) and thermal vision.

In short, a classic announcement for a game awaited by fans but which should remain in line with the previous games that made the concept so successful. I would be sure to play it with my son, as split-screen play is especially enjoyable with LEGO products.
