LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is coming very soon to PS5, launching on 22nd May 2026, and it looks like a very promising plastic superhero romp.
Its big hook is that it’s a celebration of everything Batman, blending together elements from various stories to tell the broad-strokes tale of the caped crusader — in LEGO form.
That means it’s packed to the rafters with references to the comic books, TV shows, feature films, and video games. Now, WB Games has revealed that a very recent, new iteration of the character is part of the fun too.
Absolute Batman is included as one of the outfits you can equip on your Bruce Wayne, and Catwoman’s Absolute variant is also available.
For the uninitiated, Absolute Batman is a new spin on the character, written by Scott Snyder.
In this version of the Batman legend, Bruce Wayne is a blue collar worker by day, but a vigilante by night. Rather than inheriting his parents’ fortune, this rendition of the character is strapped for cash, and makes his suit, armour, and equipment himself.
It’s been a super popular new take on the superhero, so this will certainly go down well with the fans. It also means Legacy of the Dark Knight will be the debut of Absolute Batman away from the comics.
