Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is aiming to be the ultimate celebration of the Dark Knight’s lasting impact on pop culture, referencing everything from the classic movies to enduring memes from actor Michael Caine. Ahead of its release later this month, a new trailer for the game has gone live and has done what few pieces of Batman media have been brave enough to do–acknowledge the existence of the 1995 film Batman Forever and one of its official tie-in songs, Seal’s Kiss from a Rose.
Set against the backdrop of the song–that won Seal the 1996 Song of the Year at the Grammys–the trailer shows off more of Bruce Wayne’s journey and how he transforms into Gotham’s legendary vigilante, Batman. The video also features several more characters, including Batman’s allies Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl, Jim Gordon, Catwoman, and Talia al Ghul as they take on foes like The Joker, Poison Ivy, Mr. Freeze, Two-Face, Ra’s al Ghul, and Bane–and yes, that is Matt Berry voicing the infamous Venom-abusing supervillain.
Kiss from a Rose was one of several licensed tracks heard in Batman Forever, alongside other selections from the likes of U2, Massive Attack, and The Offspring.
