Lego: Batman 2: DC Super Heroes: The Kotaku ReviewJun 25, 2012 - KotakuLego: Batman 2: DC Super Heroes is the best Batman-Superman team-up video game I've ever played, though it's worth mentioning that it is also the only Batman-Superman team-up video game I've ever played. (It might be the only one that exists.) This new game is the 10th of the popular Lego action-adventure games that began with 2005's Lego: Star Wars. At times, the series has soared. Other times, it has fallen into formula and then innovated again. With Lego: Batman 2, we've got a game in two parts. One half of the game is the series at its peak. The other half sees the creators of the series taking one of their biggest chances and failing. Here is a game that would be better if the people who made it hadn't tried so hard—or if they had had somehow done a very difficult thing perfectly the first time they tried it. The good parts of Lego: Batman 2 are numerous, so I will be kind and mention them first. This is a game about Superman's relationship with Batman and Robin, which is extraordinary just for the fact that this is a Lego video game about anything other than adapting a movie. The story in this one is original and, in a series first, is voice-acted,. It explore the amusing dynamic among a cheerfully arrogant Superman, a Batman who doesn't want his ultra-powerful pal to lend a crime-fighting hand and the loyal Robin who can't help but be awestruck every time Superman shows up. These guys make for a great comedic trio that entertains far more successfully than their foils, Lex Luthor and The Joker. Superman could swipe in at any time and solve most of the problems Batman is facing in the game, which is the running gag, except when there's kryptonite around. The Superman-Batman-Robin dynamic works well in the gameplay as well. Superman shows up early in the game's 15 super-sized chapters, but before he does, our heroes—Batman and Robin—are the standard land-locked heroes of most of these Lego games. They can beat up bad guys and perform some terrifically-animated finishing moves. They can toss their batarangs, smash just about anything that is made up with Lego pieces and they can don special suits that let them like turn invisible to slip past security cameras or vacuum up water to then clean away pools of toxic waste. Then the Man of Steel shows up. You can control him. He can fly. He can hover high above the game's linear levels. He can't be hurt by bad guys. He can freeze water with his breath and destroy gold bricks with his heat vision. He is so powerful that he feels like a bunch of cheat codes wearing on a red cape. It's so wonderful to play as him that we soon realize what Robin has realized: that all these levels would be easier if we could have just called Superman in from the start. Batman—and Lego: Batman—just won't allow that. Most of the game follows Batman, Superman and Robin tussling in some way with Lex Luthor and the Joker. Luthor is running for President and has decided that his best shot at win...
