Comedian Matt Berry is voicing Bane in Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, bringing improvised humor and prank calls to the upcoming brick based adventure.
Get ready for Gotham's most theatrical villain to get an extra dose of absurd comedy. British comedic icon Matt Berry is stepping into the recording booth to voice Bane in TT Games' upcoming Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight. According to executive producer Matt Ellison in a recent interview with Eurogamer, Berry brought his signature improvisational energy to the role, resulting in plenty of standout moments, including a series of prank calls the venom pumping brute makes directly to the Batcave.
Berry is already a household name for modern audiences thanks to unforgettable runs in What We Do in the Shadows, The IT Crowd, and his recent voice work in Amazon's Fallout television series. Given his background in heavily improvised comedy, letting him loose on a classic DC heavy hitter is a brilliant casting choice that elevates the project beyond a standard family friendly adaptation. Early previews of the game point to a surprisingly deep open world experience, blending more sophisticated combat mechanics with the lighthearted tone the Lego series is known for.
Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is scheduled to launch on May 22 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, with a Nintendo Switch 2 version arriving later. For players who love seeing crossover talent inject fresh life into digital franchises, this collaboration guarantees that cruising through Gotham will deliver plenty of laugh out loud moments alongside the usual brick smashing chaos.
