While the base game already features a deep dive into Bruce Wayne's journey from the League of Shadows to the defender of Gotham, this new content focuses on the chaotic duo that has historically given the Dark Knight his biggest headaches. The inclusion of The Joker and Harley Quinn suggests we will see a significant shift in gameplay dynamics, likely moving from Batman's tactical gadget-play to the unpredictable, explosive mechanics usually associated with these villains.
For those who haven't yet jumped into this brick-built version of Gotham, this is a strong incentive to look at the Deluxe Edition. Owners of the Deluxe copy typically gain access to these collections as part of their initial purchase, ensuring you don't miss out on the chaos when September rolls around. If you've already completed the main story alongside Jim Gordon and the Bat-family, this DLC looks like the perfect reason to return to the streets and see what kind of mess the Joker has cooked up for the Falcone family and the GCPD.
Traveller's Tales has a history of making villain-centric levels some of the most creative in their catalog. Given the "Legacy of the Dark Knight" branding, we're expecting these versions of Joker and Harley to lean into their classic comic roots while maintaining that signature LEGO wit. Keep your Batarangs ready; September 18 is going to get messy.
