It’s with the additional heroes that the game has difficulty managing a solid identity in that it’s struggling to satisfy both Batman and DC Universe aficionados. Lego Batman 3 does a much better job of bringing in more DC heroes and villains into the fold without taking away the spotlight from the title hero and his trusty sidekick, though the roster of the Justice League and the Legion of Doom that appear in the story is quite small compared to the amount of heroes and villains that got a piece of the action in Lego Marvel Super Heroes last year. After a distress call from the Justice League alerts them of an incoming cosmic level threat, the well-known Superman villain Brainaic, Batman and Robin turn their attention towards the stars and eventually team up with the very group of bad guys they were once trying to bring to justice to fight against a threat that could spell the end of the earth as we know it.Ģ012’s Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes first seemed like a Trojan horse game that would introduce more people to the larger DC Universe in the guise of a Batman game but very much was a Batman game that just happened to feature Superman and Lex Luthor with a dash of Justice League at the end. The subtitle of the game is “Beyond Gotham” but the game starts out like both Lego Batman games before it with the Dynamic Duo of Batman and Robin in hot pursuit of some of their more dangerous rogues. Now a little over a year later after the release of Lego Marvel Super Heroes, developer TT Games returns to the DC Universe with Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham, but is Lego Batman 3 to DC what Lego Marvel Super Heroes was to Marvel? No, not quite, but it’s still an awfully fun game with a ton of content that just gets a little too scatter brained over what it’s trying to be. Since that game I’ve seen the Lego franchise really develop into something special with its sequel Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, which introduced both voice to cut-scenes as well as a fully realized open world that was expanded upon in 2014’s brilliant Lego Marvel Super Heroes, one of the single best Marvel games to date. Everyone has their first Lego game, whether it was Star Wars, Indiana Jones or one of the countless others, but for me, it was 2008’s Lego Batman.
