Holy Lego Cartoon Series, Batman!

Lego Batman

Batman will be hitting the TV again, and I’m not talking about The Batman here. Instead, Traveller’s Tales, developers of all those great Lego games will be handling this. Yes, that’s right, we’re talking about a Lego Batman cartoon series by a video game developer! Awesome!

“We’re looking to do… a Lego Batman series. I think they’re looking at doing a one-off initially,” Rich Earl, producer at TT said. The series will use the game’s engine itself, and the characters will animated fresh from Maya.

Earl claims that this will be quite different, and that’s totally fine by me. Traveller’s Tales earlier announced that they had their minds on a TV cartoon series, but did not mention any specifics. This news confirms that a 20-minute Batman cartoon will be on, and hopefully make its way to its own series!

I hope LucasArts looks at this and decides that a Lego Star Wars TV series will be worth its salt. Hell, from what I can tell, that might even end up better than that battlefest kid’s show The Clone Wars. Well, it’s not that bad, but a Lego Star Wars TV series might end up somewhere. Or not.

Ah, Nostalgia. What a wonderful thing it is reminiscing about the days when we used to play with Lego.

Still, they look exactly like the building blocks of our youth.

Read on for the whole collection and the lego-like iPod dock.

Indie Iron Man Lego is excellent

Iron Man Lego

A guy named Arvo has come up with this masterpiece, and surprisingly, it is an independent work of art, totally unconnected to the upcoming movie. While his eyes look sort of weird, you gotta love the work on his thighs and posture – that’s quality artwork. This is the sort of merchandise you need to pay for, people!

I hope Arvo releases more pictures of this beauty, as well as maybe details about it. (insert Black Sabbath’s Iron Man riff here)
