But most of the DC universe is only really there in cameo form, and this is primarily a Batman and Green Lantern story. 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. And so we had hoped this third Batman game would be the DC equivalent. Lego Marvel was far bolder though, featuring every character imaginable whether they had a movie or not. 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.

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.
