Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment 3DS, iPhone/iPad, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Wii U, Xbox 360, Xbox One Mixed or average reviews- based on 12 RatingsToday Warner Bros. announced the first-ever season pass for a LEGO game, promising players six downloadable content packs and more than 40 new characters for $14.99. What they should really be doing is bundling their DLC with Minifigs and selling it in stores. If folks want to spend $2.99 apiece only for the six promised packs, then more power to them. And I suppose saving three dollars by pre-purchasing the promise of DLC is an okay option as well. But if I were in charge of a company that had access to the awesome combination of LEGO and DC Comics characters, I'd be putting toys on store shelves. Take a look at the first three DLC packs announced for the game, including a rather dark bit of Superman story where you've got to keep General Zod from killing a baby. The Dark Knight Pack (available 11/11/14)
Experience the heart-pounding chase scene from the iconic film complete with cool vehicles and explosive action. Play as the legendary Dark Knight and Commissioner Gordon, as well as the Joker and his goons as they chase down Harvey Dent's police escort. Bane and Catwoman from the third film are also playable.Man of Steel Pack (available 11/11/14) Help Jor-El, his wife Lara and their robot Kelex send the infant Superman "Kal-el" into space towards the safety of Earth as Krypton falls into chaos. Find a way inside Jor-El's home, fight General Zod's invading forces and battle against Zod himself to save Superman.Batman 75th Pack (available 11/11/14) Play as Joker and Harley, setting up a variety of celebration set pieces. Be the Batman and play as some of the most iconic faces of Batman through the years, including his first appearance in Detective Comics #27.Now take each of those DLC packs, slip them in a package with one or two Minifigs from the episode, put them in a bag marked $9.99.
I would purchase every single one of them. Most hardcore LEGO Minifig collectors would, which includes those who have no interest in playing LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham. And thus my evil plan to get LEGO to release a 75th anniversary Detective Comics #27 Batman Minifigure will have come to fruition! But no, my evil plans never work out. At least $14.99 for six packs of DLC isn't terrible.

First off, a brief introduction, my name is Arthur Parsons. I am the Game Director of LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham. I’ve been working at TT Games for the past 15 or so years, and I was delighted to make a return to LEGO Batman having been involved in the previous two titles. Both myself and the team involved are incredibly excited for you all to get your hands on what we consider to be our most ambitious LEGO game yet. LEGO Batman 3 is our third adventure into the DC Comics universe, and as such we decided to make it bigger and better than anything we have done before. For starters, our epic storyline sees us blast off into space, teaming up the Justice League with the Legion of Doom for an intergalactic extravaganza. We’ve added a raft of new suits for Batman, Robin and several other characters. We’ve added a completely new dynamic to the open world gameplay, and each area of the game has been lovingly crafted around the story and designed to bring in as many locations and characters as possible.
We’ve included a plethora of playable characters, a number of cool abilities, endless amount of fun, and more importantly hours of gaming enjoyment for you all. This really is the ultimate Super Hero game for all ages this year and one that you won’t want to miss out on. This year is Batman’s 75th Anniversary, and so we wanted to really push the boundaries with LEGO Batman 3. We added a bonus level that explores the 1960s Batman TV show, complete with voice work from the one and only Mr Adam West! There are LEGO Batmobiles from all eras of Batman, including the 1960’s Batmobile, as well as the Tumbler. We have included awesome content from throughout the 75 years of Batman both in the main game story and freeplay modes, and also within the Season Pass DLC for the game. LEGO Batman 3 really is an outpouring of the affection we at TT Games have for the DC Comics universe. In addition to all of that mouth-watering content, we really wanted to do something truly exciting for PlayStation gamers.
So we are delighted to include an exclusive bonus DLC character pack for everyone that buys the game on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 in Europe that features some of the brilliant characters from the hugely popular “Batman of the Future” animated TV show. This pack will give you an additional eight characters that you can take into the game to enjoy in freeplay as you explore the outer reaches of the lantern worlds. The “Batman of the Future” Character Pack allows the player to control a new Batman, Terry McGinnis, who comes fully-equipped with his technologically-advanced Bat suit, allowing him to fly, fire Batarang darts and even turn fully invisible. We are also including the retired Bruce Wayne himself, and his trusty Bat-Hound “Ace”, who can use his keen sense of smell to sniff out hidden LEGO and the ability to dig for hidden objects. Almost everyone who plays our games loves to play as the super-villains, so the rest of the pack focuses on our favourite super-villains from “Batman of the Future”.
