Lego Batman: Legacy Of The Dark Knight Will Let You Don Batman's Wild Samurai Armor

One of the hallmarks of any Lego Batman game is the Caped Crusader’s wardrobe. GameSpot can exclusively reveal that in Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, the hero will be suiting up in the shinobi threads that he donned for the 2018 anime movie Batman Ninja.

While Batman started his adventure in feudal Japan equipped with his modern-day crimefighting outfit, it wasn’t long before the battles took a toll on his equipment and he decided to embrace his new role as the Bat Clan’s prophesied hero. It’s a weird film, but one that did give us a Batman dressed for war in a suit of custom-made samurai armor and a Kabuto cowl shaped like his signature cowl. The suit itself would change once more, taking on a ninja-inspired look for Batman’s climactic battle against the Joker.

According to the Wayne-Tech stats, the Batman Ninja outfit is average when it comes to nostalgia–the anime film isn’t even 10 years old yet–but in the fields of aura-farming and intimidation? It scores really high.

This is one of several suits that players can equip Batman with in his upcoming Lego game. When Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight was first revealed, the trailer showed him off in the utilitarian batsuit worn by Robert Pattinson in the 2022 film The Batman. The December 2025 trailer showed off batsuits from the hero’s Silver Age of comic books, his New 52 Zero Year costume, the nice outfit from Tim Burton’s first Batman movie, and the iconic Panther suit from Batman Forever.

Preordering any version of Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight will also unlock the batsuit from The Dark Knight Returns–a classic blue-and-grey costume–while the upcoming DLC will add the Arkham Trilogy batsuits to the game.

A celebration of Batman’s impact on pop culture, Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight launches on May 29 for PC and consoles. The game features easy-to-learn free-flow combat inspired by Rocksteady’s Batman: Arkham games, as well as Detective Jim Gordon, Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl, and Catwoman as playable characters who all possess unique skills and gadgets.
