Across more than seventy years, Batman has accumulated a mythology so vast it resists any single telling — and yet TT Games has attempted to hold all of it at once. LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight arrives not as an adaptation of one Batman, but as a living archive of many, weaving comics, films, and television into an original Gotham built for exploration and discovery. It is a reminder that the most enduring fictional characters do not belong to any one era, and that honoring them means carrying the full weight of what they have meant to generations of people.
