- 2 years 2 months ago Destroy six gold statues (use a laser) around the Hall of Justice. Ride the rocket ship on the right side of the area. Use a giant character to destroy the cracked wall in the back left of the hall. Use a laser to destroy the gold chest inside to find a Character Token. Find the area pictured above (left side). Flip the switch on the right and use a projectile attack on the two bulls-eye targets on the left to deactivate the laser grid protecting the second switch. Pull the switch to open the chest in the middle at get at your goody. Attack the target on the large box you'll find on the left side of the first floor on the right side of the area. Talk to the parrot on the upper floor on the left side of the area. Fly through the rings to earn a Character Token. Melt the giant block of ice in the upper left corner of the area. Bust open the box hidden inside for a Character Token. Blow up the silver statue by the plastic maze on the right side of the ground floor with an explosive attack.
Shrink The Atom (or use the Mini Characters cheat) and send him through the maze to collect the Character Token at the top. Destroy the silver Batman statue on the left side of the hall with an explosive attack. Drain the power from the Electricity Terminal in the upper right corner of the area. Keep the goons away from the cat. If you can keep him from getting smacked for an entire 10-count, you win. Head to the Character Customizer in the Batcave or Watchtower and make a custom character with a Superman shirt. Bring you custom character back to Supergirl and Superboy for your reward. Head to the first floor on the right to find a bunch of LEGO characters wearing big, green hats. Punch each of them until they return to Batgirl. Defeat all the bad guys that show up. The first two are trapped atop water spouts on either side of the ground floor. Use freeze power to solidify the spouts and save them. Head up the stairs on the left side and use magnet power to free Superboy who is trapped under a pile of Flash statues.
Now find the Techno Terminal on the ground floor near the stairs on the right side. Use it to save a citizen stuck in a cabinet on the first floor. There are nine traps scattered around the ground floor of the hall, three of each type: yo-yo trap, bear trap and giant present trap. Use a laser to destroy the gold yo-yos when they drop from the ceiling. Grapple the bear traps (they look like big flowers) to spring them. And finally, use a projectile attack to destroy the target on the giant presents. Interact with the resulting bricks to build a padlock that will keep the nasty things closed. Pass through the rings by navigating Nightwing's obstacle course. You can use an athletic character like Robin or simply cheat and use a character who can fly. For the first game, keep your eye on the box that the orange plug drops inside. Now step on the button matching the color of the lights above the box. Grapple the plug and the first game is in the bag. For the second game, step on the button matching the color of the object that jumps out to trap it.
When the yellow object pops out of a box, step on the yellow button to trap it. The timing is pretty tight so if you want, run in circles over the three buttons and you'll get 'em all eventually. Use one character to stand on the blue button and leave them there. Use your other character to stand on yellow. Timing it as the red pull jumps to the magnet, step off yellow and onto red. All three colored stud should remain magnetized at the top. For the third game, step on the buttons to stop the spinning blocks when their colors match the pieces above them. For the first set, make all the blocks yellow. For the second set, make them all purple. For the third set: orange, pink, yellow.This comic page is missing characters!

This is the third Lego game we’ve reviewed this year. It’s also at least the 14th to use the same basic formula, no matter whether it’s dealing with Star Wars or Harry Potter. By rights the series should have worn out its welcome long ago, and become the subject of nothing but Internet scorn for its cash grab sensibilities and lack of innovation. But instead the angriest we find ourselves getting about Lego Batman 3 is that it’s not quite as good as last year’s Lego Marvel. We don’t mind saying that we’ve always preferred DC Comics to Marvel, not because of any great familiarity with the books themselves but instead thanks to the peerless DC Animated Universe.
Although Lego Batman 2 did feature a number of of other DC heroes Superman was the only one to get a major speaking role, and the whole Justice League angle seemed very half-hearted and timid. Lego Marvel was far bolder though, featuring every character imaginable whether they had a movie or not. And so we had hoped this third Batman game would be the DC equivalent. In terms of the over 150 characters included it certainly is, even though the absence of at least one major villain seems an obvious hint that a fourth game is already being planned. But most of the DC universe is only really there in cameo form, and this is primarily a Batman and Green Lantern story. The plot is self-aware nonsense, but it revolves around Brainiac stealing the powers of all the differently coloured Lanterns – which is fine except the game never really explains the backstory to this or what all the different colours and emotions are all about. Given Warner Bros. (who owns DC Comics) has a clear advantage over Marvel in terms of its video games division we keep expecting them to announce a suite of comic book games to increase the profile of their less well known characters, especially those with a movie coming up soon.
But that’s never happened, and despite it all this is a pretty poor introduction to the DC universe. Especially as being mind-controlled by the Lanterns means that many of the heroes and villains are left acting completely out of character for much of the game. Another disappointment is that Lego Batman 3 does not feature a giant open world environment to explore, even though Lego Batman 2 and Lego Marvel did. Given the galaxy-spanning story that’s perhaps understandable, but with the more recent Lego games the open world has become the most enjoyable part and the linear levels almost just a sideshow to it. We had hoped that developer Traveller’s Tales were building up to having the story missions take place in the open world itself, but if that is the plan then it’s not obvious from playing this game. Instead what you get is a number of smaller hub areas to explore between missions. But the game’s other problem is the peculiarly poor pacing, and that for the first six hours or so the only hubs available are the Batcave and a boring-looking spacestation.
The first several levels are almost entirely Batman (and Robin) centric and we won’t be surprised at all if many people give up before Brainiac even gets to Earth: which is when the game starts getting good. After his incursion you have to start visiting each of the seven Lantern homeworlds, which not only means no more gloomy spacestations but unlocks an open world for each (as well as one on the moon). Except for Oa (the Green Lantern homeworld) these are represented as spherical planetoids that you can run and fly around almost like an over-size Super Mario Galaxy world. Their design does get a bit repetitive, but it at least it gives you somewhere interesting to test out your unlocked characters and vehicles. By this point the game has overcome its initial problems, with moments that rival the best of any Lego game to date. The stages where Brainiac shrinks various European cities, so that the heroes become giants smashing apart Lego brick London buses and French bistros, are great.
And the wide range of abilities are not only much more comic book accurate (Martian Manhunter was little more than a Superman clone in Lego Batman 2 but now he can shape shift and become intangible, just like he should) but almost always great fun in themselves. And that’s the secret of the Lego games really: they may not be deep or complex but smashing Lego objects and collecting studs is instantly addictive, and even after all these year’s it’s not lost its appeal. Not when you know how many unlockable secrets are waiting if you just smash that last computer/fairground stall/alien cactus with your batarang/trident/laser beam eyes. But there is another problem with Lego Batman 3 and this one is entirely self-inflicted. For reasons best known to Warner’s marketing department the game’s hub worlds are overseen by a range of real world celebrities. We can understand using Adam West to take over Stan Lee’s role of citizen-in-peril from Lego Marvel, but using chat show host Conan O’Brien to introduce each hub room leads to him repeating the same excruciatingly long, and painfully unfunny, introduction every time you enter a room – and sometimes just when you get near him again.
Similar routines from Kevin Smith and Daffy Duck dressed as a Green Lantern are almost as bad, and means that they end up getting more dialogue than most of the actual DC characters. We’re aware that much of this review has just been grousing at the game’s failures, but at this point the Lego formula is so well known you inevitability end up talking about what it isn’t rather than what it is. The game’s one-button combat and simple puzzles are still enormous fun though. And part of the reason we enjoy the Lego games so much is because they’re the only co-op games we can play with any friend or family member, from hardcore gamer to game-hating granny. In its best moments Lego Batman 3 upholds those traditions as well as any other, but we had hoped that this might be the definitive entry in the series – and perhaps even a hint as to its future. It’s a mild disappointment and seemingly just another competent but unambitious link in the chain. With Lego Jurassic Park now all but confirmed by Lego Batman 3’s ending, we’re suddenly less optimistic that it will be any different either.
