We love a good LEGO game here at Nintendo Life, and when that game also features the Dark Knight we're pretty optimistic that it will be a winner. LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham will be taking a trip down memory lane and will celebrate Batman's 75th Anniversary — Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment is bringing back a blast from Batman's past, namely Adam West, the star of the 1960's Batman television series, as he reprises his role as the Dark Knight (and as himself); that's pretty batastic.
In advance of the game's release next week, let's take a look at some of Batman's awesome new suits. In addition to new capabilities for the caped crusader, there are also some nostalgic and adorable LEGO tributes to Batman's history.
Bat Suit - This ultimate super hero ensemble features a weighted cape and a cowl outfitted with night-vision technology and communications arrays. The utility belt also contains an arsenal of crime-fighting gear, including various types of offensive Batarangs.
Bruce Wayne - Keeping your super hero identity a mystery requires the need for the perfect alias (and alternate wardrobe). Bruce Wayne is just the man for the job.
Sonar Suit - The sonic pulse emitted through Batman's sonar suit ensures nothing will get in his way of saving the galaxy!
Space Suit - Batman's space suit is equipped with a jet pack for nimble space flight and hard-to-reach areas. Nothing's out of reach when the Dark Knight dons this guise!
Electricity Suit - With immunity to electricity, this suit gives Batman the ultimate defence. Need a charge? Simply take it to the closest electric current and give your crime fighting a jolt!
Scuba Suit - A scuba suit in space? Batman always comes prepared. Equipped with built in swimming and diving capabilities, this suit is the perfect companion when things start getting a little wet!
Sensor Suit - Complete with stealth mode and X-ray vision, Batman's sensor suit will show you the way when the path is unclear!
Arctic Suit - Those pesky villains are sure to stop, or should we say freeze, when Batman dons his arctic suit with Freeze Gun accessory.
Power Suit - Giving Batman the power of super strength and explosive rockets, this armour allows our Caped Crusader to take care of anything that gets in his way.
'66 Batman Suit - Celebrating Batman's 75th anniversary wouldn't be complete without 1966 Batman. Voiced by the legendary Adam West, players will have a blast from the past with the game’s 60s mode.
What's your favourite bat-costume? Will you be bat-grabbling a copy of this game for yourself next week?

yep 100% for arctic suit, noone else vote.
No DL-suit or sea-suit pass?
YAAAASSSS
Is the Wii U version going to be missing out on all the DLC the other consoles get? If so then I really cannot see myself buying this game.
@FragRed I think so unfortunately.
@FragRed No season pass but that doesn't necessarily equate to no DLC. My hope is the season pass ordeal from Arkham Origins has got WB to back off the season pass concept on Wii U, and not DLC. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
The Power Suit has moved away from the Dark Knight Returns design of the previous game and this upsets me. All of the others are quite nice, though.
@FragRed I wouldn't buy any cross-platform game on the Wii U for that reason alone. It sucks, but it's just the truth.
I thought the Batman Beyond Batsuit was in this game?
@Captain_Gonru - I was under the impression that the Wii U version would not have the DLC available.
If they want to make a special Wii U edition with all the day 1 DLC included, I'd be inclined to get it...but the quandry I face is that while I prefer to play Lego games on my console, I can get them on Steam for like $5 in less then a year after they release...
I have pretty much owned, played through and thoroughly enjoyed all the lego video games but i am not such a huge fanman that i'd want to pay and play a load of dlc out of it. I wasnt that bothered about all the lego marvel dlc wii u missed out on.
The only other home console i have is the ps4 and so the start price on that will b too expensive for a lego video game anyway - even without the dlc!
Wii u version for me
Mmm... too many suits.
'66 Batman Suit is at 66%
I love all of them, but if I had to choose I'd choose the power suit. To me this game is looking incredible, but I am a pretty big fan of Batman so I like anything that relates to him. Oh and the game looks gorgeous too. That's a bonus.
they are really milking lego games like crazy. almost 4-5 lego games in a year.
Wait a minute, I thought it was the 75th anniversary of Marvel Comics. I thought Batman came out before marvel ever existed. Could some enlightened comic book fan clear things up for me?
@brandonbwii It's the 75th anniversary of both Batman and the Marvel Comics company.
@Captain_Gonru @luigiluigiluigi @brandonbwii You guys DO know Batman is DC Comics, not Marvel right?! Nothing to do with Marvel... Anyway, This year celebrates Batman's 75th anniversary, last year it was Superman's 75th anniversary, and next year will be Wonder Woman's 75th anniversary.
