Games in this podcast range from E to M.

Hey, everybody.

Welcome in to the official Xbox podcast.

It's the only podcast that comes to you from inside Xbox.

I'm Ethan, and I'm here with my colleague and good friend Josh Stein.

Josh, how excited you for today's show?

Pretty hyped.

It's not every day they get to ask you to come in, hang out with your buddy, and talk about Batman.

So I've got to say, I've had worse. Not just Batman, dude, but like, you are a Lego addict. And now we're, today we're talking about Lego Batman. It's like two of your favorite things. I'm hiding them behind me a little bit, but there's a myriad of boxes of Legos right here that I've yet to build. This is the queue, the Lego queue. And then on the other side of the wall,

you can't see it, but is my build. So what better way to mix Lego and Batman together and then add in a friend? Like, you got me immediately. I'm in. Heck yeah. I am curious how, I'm not going to put you in the spot, but I'm curious how you'd stag crank the love you have for Batman, for Lego, and then your wife and kids.

Okay, so first of all, what, what, no, yeah, I'm not going to get in trouble there. Don't do it, don't do it, I'm playing. I thought about it. No, I mean, for me, I mean, like a lot of people out there, it's my childhood. I grew up, my dad bought me Legos and my mom bought me comics or would like, you know, take me to like watch cartoons or movies that were coming out. So it's a good Mary, it's a good Mary of both of my childhoods growing up when watching Batman on cartoon and then reading the comics and then building the Legos. And so, yeah, it's a, I could out about it, but I'll save us some banter there.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We have a very special guest today, so maybe we shouldn't keep them waiting.

That's right. Yeah, today, TT Games released a Dev Diary on the Batcave for their upcoming game, Lego Batman, Legacy of the Dark Night.

And today, we have somebody joining us. We have Jonathan Smith. Jonathan is the strategic director and head of the development

team at TT Games. Jonathan, welcome to the podcast. Hello, it's so nice to be inside Xbox and to be

here with you both. Josh, I genuinely want to know more about the sets that you've made and the sets you've yet

to make. Like you, it's such an important part of growing up, my relationship with Lego, my relationship

with Batman.

I've been lucky then also to be able to share some of that experience with my own children

as they grew up as well.

And the games that we've made in the past live long in their memory, we're really, really

excited now to move on
