To some it is just a game based off a line of toys featuring beloved comic book characters Batman and Robin, and all of their nemeses, and they would be right. This is a superhero game featuring those characters. but its so much more. The game in a whole is a metaphor for society, what with the poor driving controls really expressing the helplessness we feel of not being connected through the internet and video games and how people aren't good drivers, and the amount of skill it takes to drift through the winding streets of gotham in level 3, usually leaves us falling behind on purpose just to watch two face drive off. It shows how in our society, rather than just giving into the amount of skill and working your way to be able to overcome a problem, you just let two face get up. This game truly opened my eyes.

It absolutely astounds me how many people don't understand the underlying themes of this game. I would be talking to my friends, when the topic of this game would come up. They laugh at me, for my infatuation with just "a kids game" and "a lego game for little babies". They truly are inferiour in intellect, for they don't understand. I merely laugh, and proceed to lay upon them the truth of this game. I watch as they fall dumbfounded, their eyes wide, in true astonishment as I open their minds to the true meanings and depth of this game. When I finish, I laugh at their foolishness, as I had just enlightened them on the true meaning of LEGO Batman the videogame.

It is almost disrespectful to watch people play it without even at least knowing the fact that Lego Batman is one of the most complex, intelligent, and ingenius pieces of media of all time. To play this like it's simply a superhero game featuring Batman and lego bricks is like taking one look at the ocean and saying it's simply water; while the statement is true, it's far from everything about it.

This game is a work of genius. Before you play it, one should at least get a general idea of the pure magnificence and intelligence that is lego Batman.

Although, They may not fix the driving controls as this game was released 13 years ago. I think since this game has become a teenager its should get a remaster.
