Review: LEGO BATMAN 3: BEYOND GOTHAM
If you’ve ever played a LEGO video game before, you pretty much know what you’ll be getting yourself into with Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham, the third installment in the series of LEGO Batman games. You play as miniature Legoized (I know that’s not a word and I don’t care) versions of characters from a particular franchise. As them, you break everything breakable in sight for those precious studs (basically coins) to unlock more characters to play as.

Review: LEGO JUSTICE LEAGUE: GOTHAM CITY BREAK OUT
LEGO DC Super Heroes: Justice League: Gotham City Break Out (try saying that three times fast), is the sixth film set in the DC LEGO Universe (DCLU?). It’s the anniversary of Batman’s (Troy Baker) first mission, and to celebrate Batgirl (Sarah Hyland) and Nightwing (Will Friedle) take Batman out on a much needed vacation.
