LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight Reviews
If you've missed LEGO humor and love Batman, this is a game you'll enjoy. However, remember that this series is ultimately "aimed at children," so adjust your expectations accordingly.

There are a couple of Arkham games better than this, but also a couple that are worse.
A strong open-world Gotham and trademark Lego slapstick humour powers a fantastic plastic parody of Batman’s greatest hits.
An endless parade of references and gags that's difficult to resist.
Legacy of The Dark Knight has set a new plastic mold for TT Games, and is easily the studio’s best work since the golden age of Batman, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, and Marvel Super Heroes.
Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight remixes classic stories and games to provide a single straightforward explanation for who Batman is, how he came to be, and where he and his extended found family has ultimately found themselves – without taking itself too seriously. Condiment King appears more than once, and you get to use Batman's shark repellant.
It's a no-holds-barred approach to the revered character, and though there are spots where the execution could have been better, TT Games included everything I could have asked for in one wholly entertaining package. The Dark Knight has a storied legacy, and this adventure does it justice.
It's still simple, but not quite as simple, it's bursting with even more secrets, and it's another playful take on a mythology that I love. It's the most fun I've had with a Lego game since 2005, and a template for how Lego games can rebuild into something greater, piece by piece.
Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight takes everything folks know about Batman from popular culture and filters it through the tried-and-true Lego formula. Whether you're a fan of Batman or Lego games, there's a lot to love in this charming adventure.
LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is extremely ambitious in scope compared to previous LEGO/mega-IP combos, and it succeeds tremendously in nearly everything it has set out to accomplish.
LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is a catch-all Batman experience that takes liberal inspiration from everything tied to the Caped Crusader.
The closest thing to a new Batman: Arkham game there’ll be for many years and a great co-op adventure in its own right, that somehow manages to be unpredictable all the way through.
LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is an incredible celebration of the Caped Crusader, and if you've encountered any of his adventures across comics, film or gaming, you'll find joy in every reference and aside.
Because being a LEGO game is both an advantage and a disadvantage: they have the sense of humor and the freedom to do whatever they want without any fans batting an eye at the canon, but at the same time, they're very restricted on all fronts.

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is a great experience overall, and will likely find a passionate audience among those who love this series, but it also won’t do much to convert people who simply don’t enjoy the silly simplicity of the genre.
Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is a love letter to not just Batman, but the history of Batman media. While it's a very easy game, that doesn't take the shine off of an experience that left me smiling constantly. Rocksteady's legacy is given the recognition it deserves, and proves there's still a huge demand for the Arkhamverse to rise again.
Applause should be given Traveller's Tales, as they've conjured up the ultimate LEGO Batman game in the series' fourth outing. Retelling the origins of Bruce Wayne as Batman has been well-trodden ground, but witnessing his storied history play out with LEGO's joyful jokiness and whimsy is exceptionally pleasing.
LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight truly deserves to be recognized as a "love letter" to Batman. TT Games has delivered an engaging adventure for the whole family, albeit one incapable of offering any serious challenge to players.
