Stumbling upon some Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight footage on social media in the dead of night, I found myself reaching for my Bat-Glasses, unsure what I was looking at. In a doomscroll delirium, the little video – Magic: The Gathering card-sized on my gaming Bat-Monitor – made everything blend together. Oh, I realized – that's not actually the new Lego Batman. That's just a Batman: Arkham City mod to make it look like it's a Lego game. Then it hit me. No – that's definitely the new Lego Batman. PlayStation posted this. But it looks exactly like Batman Arkham. I'm still not sure this isn't an elaborate prank targeting me specifically.
As the clip auto-replayed over and over, I hit maximize to get a better look at the footage – the dark blue hues of Gotham City's sky by night and the green glow underlighting its old architecture reflecting off my glasses. My eyes narrowed as my brain did thousands of calculations a second, trying to make sense of how I could be confusing a Lego game with a decidedly un-Lego like series. Especially considering I've already looked at this game a lot and even edited our own previews about the dark knight's latest bricky outing. What in the name of Zur-En-Arrh is going on?
