Warner Bros. Interactive Ent. has announced a new hero -- Nightwing -- as well as two new villains, Clayface and Bane, from the anticipated LEGO BATMAN: THE VIDEOGAME, developed by TT Games, out this September.

A stampede of notorious criminals have busted out of Arkham Asylum, where Gotham City houses only the shadiest of characters. It's up to the famed Caped Crusader to sweep Gotham clean of criminal activity using everything at his disposal, including crime-fighting vehicles as well as several baddie-bashing bat gadgets.

Batman and Robin have a pair of new super-powered problems in the recently unveiled villains Bane and Clayface. The Dynamic Duo will need to use everything at their disposal to fight against Bane's super-strength, and the powerful Clayface. Fortunately, the Caped Crusader has a helping hand in his crime-fighting ally, Nightwing.

After nearly four decades of imprisonment, he was chosen for a military experiment with the drug Venom, which greatly enhanced his strength.
