In 60 BC, Caesar jyned a poleitical alliance wi [[Marcus Licinius Crassus|Crassus]] an Pompey that wis tae owergang the Roman politics for mony year. Thair ettles tae amass pouer for themsells throu populist tactics war opposed athin the Roman Senate bi the conservative high heid yins, amang them wis [[Cato the Younger]] wi the frequent pairt-takin o [[Cicero]]. Caesar's conquess o Gaul raxed Roum's laund tae the [[North Sea]], an in 55 BC he conductit the foremaist Roman invasion o Breitain. Thir merits haed grantit him on-marrowed military pouer an threitened tae ootding Pompey's staundin. The balance o pouer wis cowpit wi the daith o Crassus in 53 BC. Shifts in pouer in Roum wad lead tae a staund-aff atween Caesar an Pompey, the latter haein taen up the cause o the Senate. Bidden bi the senate tae thole an assize in Roum for sindry chairges, Caesar mairched frae Gaul tae Italy wi his legions, owergaein the Rubicon in 49 BC. This spairked a civil weir frae whilk he kythed as the on-marrowed maister o the Roman warld. Efter takin rule o government, he begoud extensive reforms o Roman society an government. He centralised the bureaucracy o the Republic an wis at the hinner-end proclaimed "[[dictator]] in perpetuity". A bourach o senators, led bi [[Marcus Junius Brutus]] an [[Gaius Cassius Longinus]], assassinatit the dictator on the Ides o Mairch (15 Mairch) 44 BC, howpin tae restore the constitutional government o the Republic. Housomever, the eftercast wis a tring o civil weirs, the whilk at the hinner-end resultit in the foondin o the permanent [[Roman Empire]] bi Caesar's adoptit heir [[Augustus|Octavius]] (later kent as [[Augustus]]).

In Februar 2025, [[Bloomberg News]] reporter [[Jason Schreier]] claimed in Februar 2025 that TT Games wis wirkin on a Lego gemme targetin a 2026 lowse. Fur ''[[Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga]]'' (2022), [[TT Games]] developit thair awn proprietary NTT ingine but it pruivit difficult tae wirk wi. TT Games leadership haed debatit whether the studio shoud abandon thair proprietary ingine an switch tae Unreal Engine durin ''The Skywalker Saga''<nowiki/>'s development; follaein its lowse, the studio wis quick tae muive tae Unreal Engine 5 fur the development o ''Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight''. Whiles TT Games haed previously creatit an appen warld Gotham in ''[[Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes]]'' (2012), strategic director Jonathan Smith creditit advances in technologie fur enablin "a muckle mair immersive ceety nor [thay] wur iver able tae dae afore" wi the scale o the gemme bein "bigger nor the ither titles [thay]'v mak in the past". Veesual fidelity haes been increased in ''Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight'' tae better represent the featurs o pheesical Lego pieces, sic as the microscopic imperfections an textur o the plastic in [[Lego minifeegur|minifeegurs]] an the clae textur o capes. Thir are intendit tae eik veesual interest tae blocky Lego bricks that are set thegither wi non-Lego elements sic as road tarmac. Matthew Wood served as lead designer on ''Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight''. The gemme taks heivy inspiration frae the ''[[Batman: Arkham]]'' series' freeflow combat seestem, thou it haes been adaptit tae be mair approachable. Raither nor tryin tae replicate ''Arkham''<nowiki/>'s technical depth, ''Legacy of the Dark Knight'' encourages pleyers tae uise a combination o abeelities an gadgets lik batarangs an environmental actions. The decision tae featur a smawer raster o seiven pleyable chairacters compared tae aulder Lego gemmes wis informed bi wantin tae focus on deeper gemmepley seestems wi ilk chairacter haein thair awn distinct abeelities. ''Legacy of the Dark Knight'' wis annoonced at [[Gamescom]]'s Appenin Nicht Live on 19 August 2025. On 30 Aprile 2026, TT Games annoonced that ''Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight'' haed "gone gowd" as development wirk haed been finished. === Audio === Kenspeckle memmers o the vyce cast include Shai Matheson as [[Batman]], [[Colin McFarlane]] (wha previously portrayed [[Gillian B. Loeb]] in [[Batman in film|''The Dark Knight'' trilogy]]) as [[Commissioner Gordon|Jim Gordon]], [[Rich Keeble]] as [[Two-Face]], an [[Matt Berry]] as [[Bane (DC Comics)|Bane]]. Late Batman actors [[Adam West]] an [[Kevin Conroy]] are creditit in the gemme's vyce cast an aa, wi archival recordins o thaim bein uised. == Release == ''Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight'' wis oreeginally scheduled fur lowse on [[PlayStation 5]], [[Windows]], an [[Xbox Series X an Series S|Xbox Series X/S]] on 29 Mey 2026, wi the [[Nintendo Switch 2]] version tae be launched later.

In Februar 2025, [[Bloomberg News]] reporter [[Jason Schreier]] claimed in Februar 2025 that TT Games wis wirkin on a Lego gemme targetin a 2026 lowse. Fur ''[[Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga]]'' (2022), [[TT Games]] developit thair awn proprietary NTT ingine but it pruivit difficult tae wirk wi.

Matthew Wood served as lead designer on ''Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight''. The gemme taks heivy inspiration frae the ''[[Batman: Arkham]]'' series' freeflow combat seestem, thou it haes been adaptit tae be mair approachable. Raither nor tryin tae replicate ''Arkham''<nowiki/>'s technical depth, ''Legacy of the Dark Knight'' encourages pleyers tae uise a combination o abeelities an gadgets lik batarangs an environmental actions. The decision tae featur a smawer raster o seiven pleyable chairacters compared tae aulder Lego gemmes wis informed bi wantin tae focus on deeper gemmepley seestems wi ilk chairacter haein thair awn distinct abeelities.

In Februar 2025, [[Bloomberg News]] reporter [[Jason Schreier]] claimed in Februar 2025 that TT Games wis wirkin on a Lego gemme targetin a 2026 lowse. Fur ''[[Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga]]'' (2022), [[TT Games]] developit thair awn proprietary NTT ingine but it pruivit difficult tae wirk wi. TT Games leadership haed debatit whether the studio shoud abandon thair proprietary ingine an switch tae Unreal Engine durin ''The Skywalker Saga''<nowiki/>'s development; follaein its lowse, the studio wis quick tae muive tae Unreal Engine 5 fur the development o ''Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight''. Whiles TT Games haed previously creatit an appen warld Gotham in ''[[Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes]]'' (2012), strategic director Jonathan Smith creditit advances in technologie fur enablin "a muckle mair immersive ceety nor [thay] wur iver able tae dae afore" wi the scale o the gemme bein "bigger nor the ither titles [thay]'v mak in the past". Veesual fidelity haes been increased in ''Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight'' tae better represent the featurs o pheesical Lego pieces, sic as the microscopic imperfections an textur o the plastic in [[Lego minifeegur|minifeegurs]] an the clae textur o capes. Thir are intendit tae eik veesual interest tae blocky Lego bricks that are set thegither wi non-Lego elements sic as road tarmac. Matthew Wood served as lead designer on ''Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight''. The gemme taks heivy inspiration frae the ''[[Batman: Arkham]]'' series' freeflow combat seestem, thou it haes been adaptit tae be mair approachable. Raither nor tryin tae replicate ''Arkham''<nowiki/>'s technical depth, ''Legacy of the Dark Knight'' encourages pleyers tae uise a combination o abeelities an gadgets lik batarangs an environmental actions. The decision tae featur a smawer raster o seiven pleyable chairacters compared tae aulder Lego gemmes wis informed bi wantin tae focus on deeper gemmepley seestems wi ilk chairacter haein thair awn distinct abeelities. ''Legacy of the Dark Knight'' wis annoonced at [[Gamescom]]'s Appenin Nicht Live on 19 August 2025. On 30 Aprile 2026, TT Games annoonced that ''Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight'' haed "gone gowd" as development wirk haed been finished. === Audio === Kenspeckle memmers o the vyce cast include Shai Matheson as [[Batman]], [[Colin McFarlane]] (wha previously portrayed [[Gillian B. Loeb]] in [[Batman in film|''The Dark Knight'' trilogy]]) as [[Commissioner Gordon|Jim Gordon]], [[Rich Keeble]] as [[Two-Face]], an [[Matt Berry]] as [[Bane (DC Comics)|Bane]].

In Februar 2025, [[Bloomberg News]] reporter [[Jason Schreier]] claimed in Februar 2025 that TT Games wis wirkin on a Lego gemme targetin a 2026 lowse. Fur ''[[Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga]]'' (2022), [[TT Games]] developit thair awn proprietary NTT ingine but it pruivit difficult tae wirk wi. TT Games leadership haed debatit whether the studio shoud abandon thair proprietary ingine an switch tae Unreal Engine durin ''The Skywalker Saga''<nowiki/>'s development; follaein its lowse, the studio wis quick tae muive tae Unreal Engine 5 fur the development o ''Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight''. Whiles TT Games haed previously creatit an appen warld Gotham in ''[[Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes]]'' (2012), strategic director Jonathan Smith creditit advances in technologie fur enablin "a muckle mair immersive ceety nor [thay] wur iver able tae dae afore" wi the scale o the gemme bein "bigger nor the ither titles [thay]'v mak in the past". Veesual fidelity haes been increased in ''Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight'' tae better represent the featurs o pheesical Lego pieces, sic as the microscopic imperfections an textur o the plastic in [[Lego minifeegur|minifeegurs]] an the clae textur o capes. Thir are intendit tae eik veesual interest tae blocky Lego bricks that are set thegither wi non-Lego elements sic as road tarmac. Matthew Wood served as lead designer on ''Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight''. The gemme taks heivy inspiration frae the ''[[Batman: Arkham]]'' series' freeflow combat seestem, thou it haes been adaptit tae be mair approachable. Raither nor tryin tae replicate ''Arkham''<nowiki/>'s technical depth, ''Legacy of the Dark Knight'' encourages pleyers tae uise a combination o abeelities an gadgets lik batarangs an environmental actions. The decision tae featur a smawer raster o seiven pleyable chairacters compared tae aulder Lego gemmes wis informed bi wantin tae focus on deeper gemmepley seestems wi ilk chairacter haein thair awn distinct abeelities. ''Legacy of the Dark Knight'' wis annoonced at [[Gamescom]]'s Appenin Nicht Live on 19 August 2025. On 30 Aprile 2026, TT Games annoonced that ''Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight'' haed "gone gowd" as development wirk haed been finished. === Audio === Kenspeckle memmers o the vyce cast include Shai Matheson as [[Batman]], [[Colin McFarlane]] (wha previously portrayed [[Gillian B. Loeb]] in [[Batman in film|''The Dark Knight'' trilogy]]) as [[Commissioner Gordon|Jim Gordon]], [[Rich Keeble]] as [[Two-Face]], an [[Matt Berry]] as [[Bane (DC Comics)|Bane]].
