In the long tradition of unlikely creative marriages, Traveller's Tales has quietly done something worth pausing over: they have taken two beloved but seemingly incompatible gaming philosophies — the brooding, tactical weight of the Batman: Arkham series and the joyful, destructible innocence of Lego — and found the common ground beneath them.
