It’s been announced on the US PlayStation Blog that a limited edition Lego Batman PlayStation 2 bundle has been unleashed into the market. For a MSRP of $149.99, the bundle includes:

• The Black PlayStation 2 system and DUALSHOCK 2 Controller
• LEGO Batman: The Video Game
• Justice League: The New Frontier DVD, which, in case you don’t know, reveals the origin of the Justice League, based on Darwyn Cooke’s award-winning graphic novel

So, if you want LEGO Batman, you still haven’t bought a PS2 and these new-fangled next-generation systems are still too pricey for your taste, hurry out to a major retailer near you, because stocks are limited. No mention of whether this bundle will be available outside of the US, though.
