Updated on September 18, 2026, by Josh Cotts: We've updated this article to reflect LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight's Mayhem Collection DLC and Spider-Man: Brand New Day's latest box office milestone.
I know I'm late to the party, but I've been playing a lot of LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight lately after a friend of mine gifted it to me for my birthday, and I just can't get enough of it. However, now that I've had the chance to see Spider-Man: Brand New Day alongside that gaming experience, all I can think about is how it would be fantastic to have a similar LEGO game featuring Spider-Man instead. At this point, the legendary web-slinging superhero has been featured in numerous Marvel LEGO games, but he has never received a dedicated entry of his own. And given the fact that a LEGO Spider-Man game has just as much potential as LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, I can't find a single reason why it shouldn't happen.
I've played a lot of LEGO games in my day—too many, in fact—but none of them have managed to grab me the way LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight has. The biggest reason for this is, perhaps, that I'm a lifelong Batman fan—one whose childhood bedroom's floor was often littered with action figures from the Batman universe—and Legacy of the Dark Knight is a massive celebration of the franchise's legacy, even harkening back to an era before I was born. But in 2002, with the release of Sam Raimi's first Spider-Man film, Spider-Man officially took over as my all-time favorite superhero, and I haven't gone back since. Now, despite my love for Batman still allowing me to thoroughly enjoy the nostalgia that games like LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight bring, I can't help but see the LEGO Spider-Man game that could be.
The main reason LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight has received such praise from fans like me is for how well it honors the broader legacy of Batman, rather than sticking to an era it could assume most players would like most. As a celebration of Batman's countless iterations across film, TV, gaming, and even comic books, it effectively nods to players of various ages and preferences in a way no franchise outside LEGO is capable of, thanks to its shameless embrace of the absurd. But that is precisely why a dedicated LEGO Spider-Man game is now long overdue, as he, just like Batman, has a long list of iterations to pull from that would honor the character's legacy similarly to how Legacy of the Dark Knight honors the Caped Crusader.

And if there was ever any question about whether Spider-Man is big enough to warrant that kind of treatment, Spider-Man: Brand New Day has pretty thoroughly answered it. As of September 2026, Tom Holland's latest outing has officially passed Star Wars: The Force Awakens to become the highest-grossing movie ever at the domestic box office, which makes the timing for a dedicated LEGO Spider-Man game almost comically good. The debate over the best film version of Spider-Man isn't going anywhere either, with crowds still arguing over whether Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, or Holland wears the suit best. A LEGO Spider-Man game could essentially throw all three eras into the same toy box, complete with iconic villains, familiar quotes, ridiculous callbacks, and plenty of meta commentary about the debate itself.
Given the fact that a LEGO Spider-Man game has just as much potential as LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, I can't find a single reason why it shouldn't happen.
But just as Legacy of the Dark Knight reaches back further than Batman's most memorable movies, a LEGO Spider-Man game could do the same for the web-slinger. There are comics and classic TV series the game could draw inspiration from and reference, whether it's through a variety of unlockable suits, character appearances for Peter Parker unmasked, locations, and even art styles. The Spider-Man well is just too deep not to draw from now that LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight has a proven formula that could work for it.
