LEGO Batman's release has been pushed back from next Spring to the end of the 2008, and comments from TT Games managing director Tom Stone suggest it may be due to the lack of a UK publishing deal.
“We’re really looking for pen to be put to paper by November time – certainly before Christmas. That would give us the break we would need for a successful launch at the end of 2008”, Stone said to industry magazine MCV. That lack of a "break" so far may explain why TT isn't on track for the initially announced date of "Spring 2008".
“We’re in continual discussions with publishers who we think might be interested in distributing the title – but we haven’t got close to signing yet”, Stone added.
Several names have been mentioned in connection with the game (although TT Games won't mention names) including LucasArts, which currently publishes the LEGO Star Wars series, and Eidos, which published the first LEGO Star Wars game.
The smart money, however, is on Warner Bros. The company owns the larger Batman license and is publishing the game in North America, not to mention the fact that it hopes to make a big splash in the world of gaming.
