Da Vinci's Legacy

There's something that really stood out for me as someone in the UK who collected American comics at the end of the 1980s. It's that each new comic you got was a doorway to a world of absolute chaos and gimmickry. I'm not talking about the comic stories themselves, but about the American ads that were suddenly blaring out of the alternate spreads. Topps bubble gum cards. Garbage Pail whatevers. Endless enticements to buy Bayou Billy on the Nintendo Entertainment System. You'd be reading about Batman, knocking gloomily around some Gotham spire, and then you'd turn the page and, WHAMMO, somethin

"Young and old, gather round / Everybody hail the new king in town."

A strong open-world Gotham and trademark slapstick humour powers a fantastic plastic parody of the Caped Crusader's greatest hits. Our review of Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight.

Both Amazon and Target are currently offering the LEGO version of da Vinci's Flying Machine for $39.99, its lowest price ever.

If Xbox can't find the value in owning the beating heart of the first-person shooter, perhaps it shouldn't be in the videogame business at all.
