LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes

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.

Amazon has slashed the MTG Marvel Super Heroes Play Booster Box to a new all-time low of $139.99. Lock in this massive $70 preorder discount before the set launches in June.

Before Arkham Asylum, Batman games followed the template of everything from Mortal Kombat to Monkey Island. After Arkham Asylum, other superhero games followed in The Dark Knight's footsteps.
