LEGO Batman Becoming TV Show
Batman based kids' game becoming 20-minute cartoon
“Where does he get those wonderful toys?” Batman gets them at the LEGO store, Joker.
At last week’s Games Convention in Leipzig, game developer Traveler’s Tales confirmed that the upcoming LEGO Batman videogame will be transformed into a 20-minute animated cartoon with an eye towards creating a series. The show will be produced using the same in-game engine used to produce the game. No details about when the show is coming out or who’s producing.
It’s kind of like licensed merchandising version of the childhood “pass it on” game. LEGO Batman cartoon is based on the LEGO Batman videogame which is based on the LEGO Batman toys which parodied the Batman comic books. Let’s see if DC Comics will continue the chain with a comic based on the LEGO Batman show.
And just because it’s so cute, here’s the latest clip featuring LEGO Alfred kicking bricks.

"Let’s see if DC Comics will continue the chain with a comic based on the LEGO Batman show."
I'd be surprised if they didn't.

There's already a lego Batman comic - it's included in the toys, and they've been done by Greg Hyland (Lethargic Lad) for quite some time now. Greg's also done some work on the Tick and Spongebob.
Back in the day, I was the guy who gave Greg the idea for the "Do-it-yourself Lethargic lad trade paperback" - six back issues, a new cover and a small tube of glue.
