Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment and TT Games have announced that Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes will be making its way onto the Nintendo Wii U around spring 2013. Having already previously released on other consoles with a positive reception, the Wii U edition should follow the same kind of success.

Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes will take advantage of the innovative Wii U Gamepad.  Players will navigate through Gotham City using an enhanced interactive map and select their favorite DC Comics characters to assemble a powerful team of heroes, all with the use of the controller’s touchscreen.  They can even enjoy the entire game experience on the Gamepad in off-TV mode, or have a second player join in on the TV, so they can fight crime together without having to share a single screen.

Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes gives players the chance to step into the shoes of the Caped Crusader and fully explore a Lego version of Gotham City.  Once again under threat from the Joker, Batman must defend Gotham with the help of powerful friends like Superman and Robin, to put a stop to the diabolical plans of his nemesis and his entire team of super villains including Lex Luthor, The Penguin and Harley Quinn.  Encounter all of the Dark Knight’s iconic allies and enemies in a charming, hilarious, family-friendly adventure full of exciting gameplay.

Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes is also available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, and PC, as well as the Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS, and PlayStation Vita. Leave a comment on whether you will be picking up Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes on the Wii U.
