In a pitch so surreal that it could only come from the wild imagination of a child playing with LEGO (appropriately enough), LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham has been announced by WB Games for a Fall 2014 release.

Featuring a whopping 150 characters from the DC Universe (including ‘big figures’, a’la LEGO Marvel, to more accurately represent characters such as Killer Croc), LEGO Batman 3 sends Batman and the Justice League into space to battle Braniac and the rest of the DC Comics baddies.

Characters will be able to use unique suit upgrades, such as the Bat-Space suit you see on the cover art above, and if the announcement trailer below is any indication, this will be a real blast, when it comes to pretty much every video game system ever (PS3, PS4, X360, Xbone, Wii U, 3DS, Vita and PC) later this year.  I personally missed out on LEGO Batman 2 and will not miss another Bat-Brick adventure!
