LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight Reveals ‘Absolute Batman’ Cosmetics

Warner Bros. Games has revealed that LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight will include cosmetics based on the “Absolute Batman” comics. The cosmetics will be available for both Lego Batman and Lego Catwoman when the game releases on May 22.

The “Absolute Batman” comics initially started releasing in 2024 as part of DC’s All In initiative. Scott Snyder is the comics’ writer, while Nick Dragotta is its illustrator. The premise focuses on a version of Bruce Wayne without the money or resources of his other counterpart as he’s forced to instead rely on raw strength and cunning to battle new versions of Bane, Joker, Scarecrow, and more. Legacy of the Dark Knight will feature the Absolute versions of both Batman and Catwoman, both of which recreate the aesthetics of the original comic for the Lego format.
