3 New LEGO Batman Characters Announced

3 New LEGO Batman Characters Announced
Written Thursday, June 12, 2008 by Dan Webb

Seeing the success of the recent LEGO games (Star Wars and Indiana Jones) you can't help but think the upcoming LEGO Batman title, published by Warner Brothers is going to follow suit. Slowly, we've seen more and more characters as the weeks go by and today is no different. We have just received information on three new LEGO Batman characters; Nightwing, Clayface and Bane. However this time, they aren't all enemies, Nightwing is one of the good guys and will be one of Batman and Robin's crime fighting allies. Yippee. Check out their profiles and screens of the newly revealed characters below. We'll start with the good and then move on to the bad.
 
 
NIGHTWING
REAL NAME: Dick Grayson
OCCUPATION: Police Officer
BASE OF OPERATIONS: Blüdhaven
EYES: Blue
HAIR: Black

After his circus aerialist parents were murdered by criminals, young Dick Grayson was adopted by Bruce Wayne, becoming his ward...and his partner in the war against crime as Batman's sidekick, Robin.  Years later, Robin struck out on his own as Nightwing and now lives in the corruption ridden city of Blüdhaven where by day he serves as a member of that city's police department...and patrols its streets by night as Nightwing.

Attributes:
•    Expert in most known forms of martial arts
•    Trained in all aspects of criminology
•    Trained gymnast
•    Trained in stealth and espionage techniques
•    Expert escape artist

Powers and Abilities: In LEGO Batman: The Videogame, Nightwing is a bonus character, he can also utilize all of Robin’s technology suits.
 
 
 
CLAYFACE
REAL NAME: Basil Karlo
OCCUPATION: Former Actor, Professional Criminal
BASE OF OPERATIONS: Mobile
EYES: Brown
HAIR: Black

Initially an actor in horror films, Karlo went mad when he learned a classic film of his was to be remade.  He donned the mask of the film’s villain, Clayface, and killed several of the remake’s cast and crew before being stopped by Batman and Robin.  Later, Karlo joined a collection of villains who subsequently used the name Clayface in an alliance that came to be known as the Mud Pack.  While that group was defeated, Karlo tricked his allies, injecting himself with the essences of several of them, becoming a superhuman imbued with the abilities to change shape, melt others into protoplasm with a touch, and mimic the powers of heroes or villains he copies. 
   

Attributes:
•    Clayface can alter his physical form, adopting the appearance of anyone or anything. 
•    If those whose appearance he adopts have super powers, he copies those as well. 
•    His touch can reduce an enemy to proptoplasm.

Powers and Abilities: In LEGO Batman: The Videogame, Clayface has the ability of super jump allowing him to jump to heights unattainable by other characters and even make his body elastic to reach higher characters. Clayface also has the ability of super strength, enabling him to pick up super strength objects and smash super strength walls.
 

 
BANE
REAL NAME: Unknown
OCCUPATION: Professional criminal
BASE OF OPERATIONS: Gotham City
EYES: Unknown
HAIR: Unknown

Born a prisoner for crimes committed by his father, the child who would become Bane survived cruel solitary confinement in a Santa Prisca prison.  During his long lonely years, he developed incredible powers of concentration, and, once released into the prison population, studied every book he could get his hands on.  After nearly four decades of imprisonment, he was chosen for a military experiment with the drug Venom, which greatly enhanced his strength.  Escaping, he sought out Batman to prove himself to the world by destroying the greatest specimen of mankind.  Bane broke Batman, but the Dark Knight went on to recover and defeat Bane.

Attributes:
•    Master strategist
•    Enhanced stamina
•    Enhanced strength
•    Superior hand-to-hand combatant

Powers and Abilities: In LEGO Batman: The Videogame, Bane has the ability to pass through toxic gases unharmed as well as super strength, which allows him to carry and throw huge objects.

I can't wait for this game! The Star Wars and Indiana Jones iterations were great and the easiness of the games is somewhat offset by the quest for achievements.

This game looks exciting! So cannot wait!

PS: PPL who call out 1st in comment sections are retarded children. FACT.

SengIV: you could tell you were uber excited to be number 1, but seeming everybody (quite rightly) has a hatred of it happening, you acted so cool about it, not that you care. Dude, you gotta know when you're beaten!

Lego Batman: CAN'T WAIT!!!

Sweet! these lego games captivate me for some reason.

I don't get why they don't just make a regular batman game. This whole lego trend was fun in the star wars editions, but now it's as though they are going to make everything into a lego version. Look out Lego Halo and Gears of War!

Holy cow, steelefan15, those were my first thoughts EXACTLY. lol Really!

Yeah, Bane is exciting. He was the first villain I ever read about in a Batman comic.

Nightwing...kind of exciting. I like the darker character (see: Robin is weird).

Never heard of Clayface.

Awesome. Any guesses to the other lego games they will make. I read somewhere about a possible Indy 2. Thoughts?

Comment #37 by The-One-And-Only
Friday, June 13, 2008 @ 12:01:10 PM

Hmmm, we know it will be fun but they are all the same game and do notreally justify 30 quid. LEGO Indy still has tearing for gods sake. Is this all we are going to see forever, LEGO games based on different things? I will buy this IF they change stuff and its not just a reskinned Lego SW game.

Comment #38 by MartyMcFly
Friday, June 13, 2008 @ 12:47:10 PM

I agree with VolcanicLaughter and The-One-And-Only. Is it only going to be just LEGO games? They were cute before, but this is excessive.

Are developers afraid to make video games based on a movie? I mean yea, they usually suck (see Spiderman3, Transformers, and many others), but it doesn't even have to be "The Official Game of the Movie", but give us a new next gen Batman game PLEASE!

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
