In the long tradition of stories that ask whether darkness and delight can share the same space, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight offers a quiet answer: they can, if the creators understand both deeply enough. Traveller's Tales has built a Gotham City out of plastic bricks that somehow honors the brooding weight of the Arkham games while never surrendering the warmth and humor that have always made LEGO a world apart. It is a game about a character who has existed long enough to contain multitudes, and it treats that legacy not as a burden to manage but as a gift to celebrate.
