The prolific family-friendly LEGO video game series continues on with the announcement of LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham coming to all major consoles in fall 2014.
The game will follow the events of LEGO Batman 2: DC Superheroes and the plot will center around DC characters heading to outer space in a battle versus the villainous Brainiac. While the outer-space locale may be different for what many casual Batman (and superhero) fans expect, it may provide the franchise with an opportunity to put a fresh take on the traditional LEGO game formula with new gameplay and puzzle mechanics.
While DC Superheroes offered 60 total characters (including DLC), Beyond Gotham will feature more than 150 characters from across the DC universe. Among those missing from DC Superheroes - but expected to be in Beyond Gotham given such a large roster - is the Green Arrow. Time has called his TV counterpart in the CW's Arrow franchise the "best, most fully-realized superhero franchise." The meteoric rise in Green Arrow's popularity began in October 2012 following the launch of the TV series; DC Superheroes launched in June 2012.
LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham will be one of two Batman games released this year, along with Rocksteady Games' Batman: Arkham Knight. LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham is currently available to pre-order on Amazon.
