Bruce Wayne’s brick-built origin story is finally going handheld. LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, the open-world action-adventure from TT Games, launches on Nintendo Switch 2 on September 18 — and a new launch trailer just dropped to mark the occasion. Players can now take Batman’s journey from rookie vigilante to legendary Dark Knight docked on the TV or on the go in handheld mode.
