Traveller's Tales next Lego-inspired game, Batman, will be getting its own companion cartoon series, we hear on the red-flashing phone this week.

The series will apparently make use of TT Games' assets, already created for the game, and it'll initially be a one-off pilot, if you will.

So close is the relationship between the game and the TV show, that those behind the series will even use the Lego game engine, crafting an initial 20 minute long episode.

"We’re looking to do… a Lego Batman series," said Rich Earl, speaking at Games Convention to GI.biz.

"I think they’re looking at doing a one-off initially, and they’re basically able to utilise the assets, because our team has brought Lego characters to life."
