The LEGO Batman Returns

Warner Bros. Games, TT Games, DC, and The LEGO Group have announced the LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight comic book tie-in, a new, standalone LEGO Batman story based on the upcoming videogame, that will be available on May 2 in celebration of Free Comic Book Day.

The story, titled The LEGO Batman Returns, follows a day in the life of LEGO Batman as he returns to Gotham City after a hiatus and encounters a variety of familiar DC characters, paying homage to the Dark Knight’s history in media, with references to past films, television shows, and comic books, combined with signature LEGO humor.

Today marks the anniversary of Batman’s first appearance in Detective Comics #27, released on March 30, 1939. As a callback to the inaugural issue, the beginning panel artwork in The LEGO Batman Returns story depicts the iconic image of the Caped Crusader swinging over the Gotham City skyline, which is inspired by the classic cover image – one of several nods to DC lore sprinkled within the comic tie-in.

Fans can pick up a free physical copy of the LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight Comic Book Tie-In at local participating comic shops (while supplies last) as part of Free Comic Book Day on May 2. The comic will also be available for free digitally via the DC UNIVERSE INFINITE app on the same day.

The LEGO Batman Returns is written by Ivan Cohen, with art by Paul Lee.

Free Comic Book Day is an annual event held on the first Saturday of May when comic shops around the globe give away free comics from publishers across the industry. LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight launches worldwide on May 22, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam and Epic Games Store).
