Regardless, Warner Bros. Games continues to push major licensed titles to market, and Lego Batman looks positioned as a big seasonal release for 2026.

- Platform performance and any differences between Steam and Epic store versions (performance modes, extras).
- Pre‑order editions and potential deluxe or collector’s content tied to the $70 base price.
- Early reviews and impressions once press and creators get hands‑on with the game.
