LEGO Batman screens featuring Man-Bat

LEGO Batman

Traveller's Tales handed out a few more screenshots of LEGO Batman today. Continuing in the vein of dropping a new villain or two in our midst with each new set of materials, this time we get the Man-Bat. Yeah, that's right, Man-Bat.

With the game coming out on September 1st and many, many previous sets of screens released, I suppose it was time to start scraping the bottom of the barrel. Seriously, though, Man-Bat? Aren't there only about two stories that deal with this character? Might be interesting to see how they incorporate his echolocation, but this is not exactly what I'd call a great choice from the Rogues Gallery.

You know who I'd rather see? The Ventriloquist. I can't even begin to imagine how that might work in the context of a videogame. The potential for LEGO-based comedy, however? Gold.

Hit the gallery for screens of Man-Bat in action.

Man-Bat's hardly the bottom of the barrel. He's awesome.

Wait, you're dissing Man-Bat then praising the Ventriloquist? Which other awesome characters would you like to see in the game, Film Freak? Maxi Zeus?

About Ventriloquist's origin: "Wesker is sent to Blackgate Penitentiary. He is introduced to 'Woody'" it's about time someone either invented or discovered a Superhero/villain that got his persona through prison anal rape.

Man-Bat's awesome! I wouldn't be surprised if they add the Ventriliquist too. It seems like they're using pretty much every Batman character you can think of. Even Killer Moth...

I swear Man-Bat has gotten a bit of extra exposure in the Batman cartoons... O_o

I fully expect Adam West to be a playable character, then this will be the greatest game ever

I can't wait to see Lego-Bane break Lego-Batman's back.

@#*% yeah Man-Bat! His episodes in the animated series were always some of my favorites for some reason. I wonder if this game can be as awesome as Lego Star Wars?

Yes! Now just The Ventriloquist, Black Mask, The Mad Hatter, Clock king, The Calendar Man, Hush, and any other C, D, and F-list characters I don't care nearly enough about to come close to remembering.
