Since the release of Lego Marvel Super Heroes earlier this year, fans have turned their attention to a possible Marvel and DC mash-up.  However, it looks as though the developers are more interested in following up 2012’s Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes with Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham.

This installment will see Batman and his allies traveling through space, where Brainiac has used the rings of several of the Lantern Corps to take over the universe.  An outstanding number of playable characters has already been revealed over the last few months, including those connected with other colors of DC’s “emotional spectrum” such as Larfleeze, Atrocitus, and Indigo-1, and versions of characters as they appear in Nolan’s “Dark Knight Trilogy” of Batman films.

Other interesting features are promised as well, such as “Zero-G Gameplay,” powers based on each of the Lantern Rings, a system of upgradable suits and abilities, and a “virtual world” full of mazes and other puzzles.

Lego Batman 3 will be released November 11th for a number of systems: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Wii U, PlayStation Vita, Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC and Mac, and iOS.  Currently it is unknown whether these will all be the same game when released or if portable and console versions will differ similarly to Lego Marvel Super Heroes and the handheld Universe in Peril.
