As always development duties will be handled by Traveller's Tales, which has given Indiana Jones, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean and Star Wars the Lego treatment and produced and created a Lego Rockband title.

As you may have gleaned from the title of the game, although Batman takes center stage other DC Universe heroes will be making appearancesin the sequel.

The single image released shows Superman, but Warner has said Wonder Woman and Green Lantern will also be making appearances.

It's probably safe to assume there will be cameos from villains beyond the Dark Knight's rogues gallery too.

Here's the official spiel:

In LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, the Dynamic Duo of Batman and Robin join other famous super heroes from the DC Universe including Superman, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern to save Gotham City from destruction at the hands of the notorious villains Lex Luthor and the Joker. Batman fans of all ages will enjoy a new and original story filled with classic LEGO videogame action and humour as players fight to put the villains back behind bars.

First indications that a new Lego Batman title was in production appeared last month by artwork printed inside a new range of Lego Super Hero toys.

We're quite excited for this, we'll take any excuse to pretend we're Batman.

    Awesome, looking forward to it

    After SW: The clone wars and PotC, i'm really excited for this and City Stories

    I wonder if they will add some sort of 3d view to explore the city or not

    That reminds me...must get Arkham City in the meantime :)

    I know it'll never happen but it'd be great if they did some more adult lego games, watchman, 300,Mortal Kombat come on warner own TT, DC and Vertigo. Think of the potential lego parodies. they're endless.

    Can't really see any of the franchises you said working in a LEGO game but you never know. It's been said a hundred times but a LEGO LOTR would be amazing. Avatar could be good, Teen Titans, Justice League (in fact a lot of comics but not Watchmen or Marvel for obvious reasons) Terminator etc etc
