In its hilarious and slapstick nature, the “LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight” video game showcases a moment when Batman is fighting Bane. While Bane steps on a LEGO, and is immediately pained, fans might recognize the voice behind the scene.
It has been revealed that “What We Do in the Shadows” fan favorite star Matt Berry will be voicing Bane in the new “LEGO Batman” game. What is not known is how much the character Bane will be involved.
If the new game is anything like the aforementioned “Star Wars” romp, there might be an entire level dedicated to “The Dark Knight Rises.” If that is the case, then fans will get to hear far more of Berry as the violent and buff villain from Batman’s Rogues Gallery.
The “LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight” video game has been hit with a 2026 release, but the exact date has yet to be revealed by Warner Bros.
