Lego Batman

It took me and the kids a while, but we just finished Lego Batman. It was a lot of fun and a great introduction for my kids on the many characters in the Batman Universe. Only wish they had not made Robin such a fool. Anyone else have fun with this one. I would love another DCU Lego game.

I've only beaten the story mode, but I think the only things I'm missing are Hush and Ra's Al Ghul and all the other mini extra stuff.

Ra's Al Ghul is the very last thing to finish the game. He takes awhile, you have to get all the red bricks and minikits, get superhero or supervillian on every board, finish the secret levels of Wayne Manor and Arkham Trophey room, buy everything, and then pay 4,000,000,000 to unlock Ra's Al Ghul.

Wow...I've played the game a bit, but that sounds REALLY hard!

It is not that hard, but it does take some time. It also takes looking on the internet for some help finding some hidden canisters.

I know about that from Lego Star Wars...I remember playing that in my college dorm with some roommates, and it was darn near impossible to find some of them.

-Gary

that's how they get people to shell out the money for the guide books. They even make a joke about that in the movie Toy Story 2.

I'm not a huge LEGO fan for various reasons, so when they usually do things, I always brush it off as a joke, but recently I babysat some kids, and he had LEGO Batman for Wii, and I thought it was pretty entertaining.

I didn't take any of the plot (if you want to call it that) seriously nor how the characters interacted with each other, but it definitely was a twist on things. Gave it a little-kid feel and made it light-hearted to say to the least.

I only played up to Mr. Freeze boss battle, but when I left, I was eager to buy my own copy. It definitely was a fun game, and it was a humorous take on the Bat-verse I believe.

My step daughters are 5 and 9 years old and it was a great way to introduce them to many of the Bat Family Characters. They had about a million questions every time we unlocked a new character.

How cute! I've really been meaning to pick this one up, especially since it's only 9 dollars for PS3 on Amazon now...but I haven't yet. I've played it a bit on my friend's Wii, and it is fun. I'm going to play until I can make Azrael!

Azrael's in the game???

From http://www.gamespot.com
After unlocking Hush (rescue all citizens), I went to the character editor to look at my new hush pieces and I found new parts to create Azrael and the Huntress


Here is a video of some of the people you can make after you win the game, there is Azrael, Black Mask, Huntress and Spoiler

Wow - that's awesome. I didn't realise you could to Huntress, Black Mask and Spoiler!

I to played this with the kids and it was a blast. We haven't completed all the side missions and collected everything yet but know you do this, I might just go for it now.

Yeah, you can basically make 99% of all the Batman characters EVER. Well, maybe 90-95...there's a lot of characters though haha. Unfortunately, to my knowledge, no Azbat... :-(

Finally I met someone who doesn't like it! I thought I was the only inhabit on planet Earth who didn't! Hah.

Yeah, I never really liked it either. I mean, it kinda fits Steph I guess, but I just didn't like it.

-Gary

Well I for one liked the Spoiler and her costume, but I did think the costume looked a little to advanced for a teenager making it on there own. I do think Steph is written way too light hearted and ditzy now. She has no edge, remember this is a college girl who
1) Wanted to kill her father, the villain Cluemaster. She became the Spoiler to spoil his crimes.
2) Got pregnant as a high schooler from an ex-boyfriend who left Gotham during the earthquake.
3) Gave her child up for adoption
4) In Robin #111, Stephanie reveals that when she was a child, her babysitter (a friend of her father) had attempted to rape her. This man died of an apparent drug overdose eight days after she told her father what had happened. She resigns herself to never knowing whether or not Cluemaster had killed him. (from wikipedia.org)
5) She started a city wide gang war as Robin
6) And fakes her own death and hides out in Africa.

I can see where you're coming from, but I take it more as after all of the (pardon my French) bull***t she's gone through with her past, she just wants to move on from it all and try to have a normal life and take things a little less seriously. And, in my opinion, with what she's gone through she's entitled to that. I still feel like she has that gang-war starting side in her, too.

Bluntly, I just think she sucks.
And my boyfriend bought me LEGO Batman! I'm a happy duckling. <3
It's a great game. I love it.

Nice, I'm loving it too!

Ok, so some people do not like Steph as Batgirl, but can we all agree that the worst Batgirl was Barbara Wilson.

In case you forgot Barbara Wilson was the Batgirl in the movie "Batman and Robin" played by Alicia Silverstone. She was Alfred's niece and her parents had been killed in a car crash.

Favorite Batgirl Costume
I like the one from the TV show "The Batman" Not my favorite show but I did like the design of Batgirl.

...Just because when that movie came out I was right at the age of starting to like girls, I still have a soft spot in my heart for Alicia Silverstone's Batgirl...but ONLY because of her looks haha. The movie itself, although amusing, I can't vouch for at all.

I think my favorite Batgirl costume might be Cassandra Cain's...without the mouth cover, of course.

Aha, I'm sorry for being such a hater on Stephanie Brown. She just does not sit with me. Cassie was... amazing. Wasn't the Huntress a Batgirl for a few issues?

I remember that movie when I was little. It scared me, Mr. Freeze did at least. I like the color of her Batgirl costume though, deep black-purple with that silver belt and bat symbol, correct? It popped. I don't remember much of the acting or story.. I remember Poison Ivy and Mr. Freeze...

I deeply concur! That cowl covering her entire face was mystifying. Made her spooky, just like Batman. She definitely fit the role of a Batgirl. Stephanie just really contrasts with what Cassie is all about..
