Switching to spoken dialogue helps deliver a coherent narrative, something the first Lego Batman didn’t do. The dialogue exchanged between Batman and Superman is the highpoint, and nearly worth the price of admission alone. The banter between characters is funny, and the animators are responsible for a handful of great sight gags. The series’ brilliant use of pantomiming to deliver story will certainly be missed, but don’t think for a second that the humor is gone. This is the first time characters speak in a Traveller’s Tales Lego game. He speaks in deep tones, is cold and calculating, and above all, reminds us how he hates Superman.


Despite being made entirely out of plastic pieces, this version of the character closely mimics the Batman from the animated shows. The days of Batman mutely stalking Arkham Asylum’s escapees are behind us the Caped Crusader finds his voice in Lego Batman 2.
