LEGO is the only brand to successfully cover both Marvel and DC super heroes, and it does them so well it’s a real joy to watch. The feel in the film is pretty much like that in the LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham video game that came out about 18 months ago. That’s a good thing, believe me, as it’s probably the second or third best LEGO game ever.
Cosmic Clash features Brainiac as the baddie, and some pretty fun time travel as Batman and Flash go back in time to rescue Wonder Woman and Green Lantern and to the future to rescue Superman. By this point the LEGO versions of the super heroes all have quite well developed personalities- Superman is a big boy scout, Batman is serious and intense, Flash is hyper active and a bit zany and Green Lantern always makes a big point of how brave he is. Even if you haven’t seen any of the other LEGO Justice League stuff, there are no barriers to entry as it’s really easy to pick up and great fun all the way through.
The Blu Ray and DVD are available now from all good retailers. Whisper it quietly, I think I enjoyed it more than Batman v Superman!
