LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is honestly a love letter to Batman fans and comic/media fans in general. The game is packed with references, niche jokes, and details that clearly cater to longtime fans while still being enjoyable for casual players.Playing through it reminded me why I loved Batman in the first place. It genuinely reignited my excitement for comic characters and the kinds of stories that made me a nerd growing up.What surprised me most is that, despite being a LEGO game aimed at younger audiences, it manages to tell one of the best original Batman stories I’ve experienced in a long time. I think it’s unfair to directly compare it to the Arkham games because they focus on specific moments in Batman’s life, while this game feels more like a celebration of Batman as a whole mythos, mixed with its own original **** Batman: Arkham games are still better mechanically and probably more fun moment-to-moment, but the fact that this LEGO game can stand beside them in terms of storytelling, atmosphere, and love for the source material is honestly insane.I never expected a LEGO Batman game to make me feel this invested again, but it absolutely did.
