So after the second level, everything starts to turn. The game doesn’t give a back story to him to earn that mantle. It is attempting to use the modern interpretation of Batman that has worked in a number of versions, but here, it comes off as just rudeness rather than a developed character. Instead, you just get a Batman who’s rude and demeaning to Robin for no reason and at the end realizes “Oh, friends are good”. I get that the story wants to have Batman be cold and he eventually will warm up to people over the game, but Lego Batman 3 doesn’t feel like it earns this. Batman comes off as a jerk to both Robin and Alfred. ![]() It’s an interesting opportunity that gets squandered, sadly. So the second stage begins where Batman gets mind controlled and you play as Robin and Alfred, which is an interesting choice, however, Robin has all the power and Alfred basically can use his platter as Captain America’s shield in the Marvel games, to walk over a fire. It just wants to get through this as quick as you might. The connection between levels helps guide the game but when the game gives up on them, it feels like it’s not even trying anymore. Then eventually the transition levels stop appearing about halfway through the game, allowing the player to select a level they want to play. Now the interludes between levels are not in an open world but rather a transitional level between locations. So the second stage starts after an interlude. Then you get a second video of the Lanterns Corps, excluding Hal, fighting Brainiac. You finish the level and see Killer Croc meeting with a number of villains. I’ll get to the gameplay eventually, but the level is solid. You destroy everything in sight and complete a few minor puzzles. This was what I signed up for, a good classic Lego Batman level. Batman is chasing Killer Croc through the sewers. So after that scene, the game actually begins with the first level. Neither of these two feel like Batman to me. But this is Lego Batman 3 right? Why are Brainiac, a Superman villain, and the Lanterns in the opening? We’ll get there, but if you’re hearing a warning sound, listen to it, something isn’t right here. I still haven’t even seen the movie with Ryan Reynolds. Wait, what? So admittedly I’m not a Green Lantern fan, at least not to the point where I know anyone other than Hal Jordan, John Stewart, and Sinestro. Well, Lego Batman 3 starts with characters from various different Lantern Corps showing up and then getting attacked by Brainiac. I was wondering what I would see in this game. Lego Batman 2 had a pretty good story as well, even if it cheated and added in a good amount of DC cameos that might not have been necessary, it still felt like a “Batman” game. The open world was a little too big for my tastes, but it’s now almost a standard in the series, with Marvel Super Heroes also doing it. Lego Batman 2 added an open world city, and voices, and it also was pretty entertaining. It retained the old style of Lego games without voices and was generally inventive and funny. This isn’t just a normal superhero, it’s Batman. So, I came into this game with a lot of expectations. The Caped Crusader is just a great character that there’s so much that has been done with him and yet there’s still so much more that can be done. I’ve loved most of his adaptations as well, though not Batman and Robin… never Batman and Robin. However, I think Batman as a character is fantastic and may be one of my favorite superheroes, after Deadpool and maybe Spider-man. I’m probably more of a Marvel comics fan than a DC comics fan. So let’s see if Lego can keep this train running after all these titles.Ī little background on me, so you understand who is evaluating this game. Whether it be the gamification of Legos, or the Legoification of movies, or just the simplistic gameplay to see what might happen next, I’m there. Something about these games speaks to me. ![]() I’ve actually played every single Lego game up to this point, with the exception of Lego Star Wars 3. Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham is the fourteenth or fifteenth Traveller’s Tale Lego game, depending on how you want to count The Lego Movie Videogame. ![]() Also available on Xbox 360, Xbox One, Playstation 3, PlayStation 4, macOS, iPhone, Android, 3DS, Vita, and Wii U.
