The acclaimed and award-winning LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes is the must-have sequel to the best-selling LEGO® Batman™: The Videogame, which to date has sold more than 11 million units worldwide. In LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, kids and gamers of all ages team up with Batman and Robin and their favorite DC Comics super heroes like Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and The Flash in an original LEGO adventure. Many of the scenes and characters featured in LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes can also be found in the LEGO® DC Universe Super Heroes toy collection, which was introduced earlier this year. The toy line includes five construction sets, such as The Batcave and three buildable, detailed action figures.
"Fans of all ages are in for a real comical treat with LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, as the game brings iconic DC Comics characters to life in a brand new story set in a massive open-world Gotham City," said Tom Stone, Managing Director, TT Games.

In LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, players take on the role of the Caped Crusader, Boy Wonder and other DC Comics super heroes as they unite to thwart the plans of nefarious evildoers Lex Luthor and The Joker in their diabolical quest to cause destruction and mayhem. Players are put in control of exciting new super abilities such as heat vision, freeze-breath and free-roaming flight, which they can use to explore a vast new Gotham City full of hidden secrets, collectible LEGO bricks and vehicles to drive and fly. The console games feature easy drop-in/drop-out co-op with dynamic split screen, giving family members of all ages a chance to take part in the action-packed LEGO adventure.
