Can I beat her until shes paralysed, then rape her and send the pictures to Commish Gordon as the Joker?
Because thats a deal breaker if no.
Wow, Batman so doesn't deserve to Legoized.

I want to see a Killing Joke scene, where joker maliciously breaks off her leg segments, and she has to be clicked into a wheelchair.
God, this game could even make brutal paralysis adorable.

Adorable! I wouldn't mind Cassandra Cain though. Actually, that would seal the purchase. :)

I wouldn't have said it if it didn't happen exactly like that in the "Killing Joke".

Seems like a pretty easy re-skin to me. Seriously, she's going to play identical to Batman.

@ZenGaijin: Man, I was debating whether me saying "I'd bang her" would offend anyone. Sorry to even think I could compete in the I'm-A-Sick-Fuck Commenting Olympics. Congrats on your gold medal!

She has no Batjubblies. Yvonne Craig she is not.

They left that up to the mind of the reader. So depending on your mental state, there are different interpretations. I'd personally would like to see them do Arkham Asylum with trippy Legos or Knightfall. Hell, the trippy Batman R.I.P. would be awesome in Lego format.

@CelticMutt:
I dunno her clothes were ripped up so I felt it was implied but I guess it was never confirmed.
Still Batman is way to brutal to be kid friendly.

@Foxstar Sixtail: There's quite a few theories, reading between the lines, that the Joker did far more. This was supported in quite a few later Batman stories.

@Lackshmana: Funnily enough the first thing I thought when I heard this was "Will the wheelchair be included?"
I'm going to hell probably. Still, nice to see there's a lot of variety in characters. The Batman series has such a huge pool of material to pull from. I'd love to see that powered suit Batman used to take down Superman in TDKR in-game somewhere.

I dunno. I thought that about Indiana Jones, but it's full of *exactly* the same fun-killing bugs as its predecessors.
Either Batman's a better game, rather than a rehash of the same old engine, or I'm not biting again. The novelty has worn off; I want engine fixes.

@ZenGaijin:She wasn't raped, Joker just stripped her nude to Gordon a better look at the gunshot wounds and blood.
@Cpryd001:Cain's a bit too fucked up for Lego Batman.

Haha, something about reading the title of the article and seeing Batgirl out there in that pose just made me hear the old Windows "tadaaa!" noise.

Could this be a start of good Batman games to come? This, the one revealed in GI and the one Pandemic's doing?!
I sure hope so. Batgirl looks adorable!

@VSpeck: Alan Moore actually confirmed that she wasn't? I assumed that it was left up to the reader. I must be sane, I like to think she wasn't!

Alan Moore was, if I am not mistaken, actually very unhappy that The Killing Joke was adopted as canon.
I tend to agree with him, and Brian Bolland who drew the issue, that it is not a particularly good story. For all the acclaim it receives it isn't very well written and if not for the great characterization achieved with Oracle in later stories I would be one of those opposing its inclusion in the mythos.
The ending in particular I find quite hackneyed.

I was really wondering about this. The official website has a character scroller where they show game avatars for every official LEGO Batman minifig (except Alfred and the three alternate Batsuits), plus avatars for as-yet-unreleased Clayface II (B:TAS-style), Mad Hatter, and Killer Moth. There's also, way over on the left, a generic minifig shadow with a giant "?" in the middle, and I've been itching to find out who that would end up being. I just can't think of any villains that they haven't revealed yet that are significant enough that they'd warrant including even though there's no official minifig yet, and comical enough to fit with the whole LEGO videogame style (Ra's al Ghul seems like a tough fit). Firefly, Ventriloquist/Scarface, and Man-Bat are the only three I can think of, and Brick-Knight.com shows an image for a Man-Bat avatar that looks legit, but it seems positively criminal to have not included any nod to Batgirl in either the physical sets or the videogame.
