Batman goes on vacation and chaos erupts in Gotham. Fighting crime is a full-time job and Batman NEVER takes a vacation. That is until he finally agrees to let Batgirl and Nightwing take him on a long overdue trip - leaving Gotham City under the watchful eye of the Justice League in LEGO® DC Comics Super Heroes - Justice League: Gotham City Breakout. When Batgirl and Nightwing take Batman on a trip down memory lane - literally - to visit one of the key mentors from his formative years, it's up to the Justice League to keep Gotham City crime-free. But neither situation proves to be a "vacation" as the Bat trio encounters old nemeses on their adventure, and the Justice League discovers just how busy Batman is on a regular basis. It's a brick-tastic battle on two fronts as Batman, Batgirl and Nightwing take on Bane and Deathstroke, while the Justice League - with some help from a few Teen Titans - fends off an assault by many of Batman's infamous adversaries to ensure Gotham City's safety. I like DC (I'm a nerd it's in my DNA) I also like LEGO media as it's always had a certain charm about it so it was written in the stars that DC Lego movies would be great for me. Right?<br/><br/>This is the first feature length Lego movie I've seen and I have to say, it's an utter mess.<br/><br/>I'm blown away by just how bad it was, and many voice acting greats including Troy Baker were involved which makes it that much worse.<br/><br/>It's like a Saturday morning cartoon, without the occasional funny joke or nod to the parents. It was decidedly unfunny, the plot was mediocre and…and….I honestly don't even know what to say.<br/><br/>It's about Batman taking a holiday, in his absence Superman takes over and finds himself overwhelmed and outsmarted. Yeah, exactly what you're thinking!<br/><br/>There are several of these and I'm concerned, are they all like this?<br/><br/>The Good:<br/><br/>Includes the proper Harley Quinn actress<br/><br/>The Bad:<br/><br/>Jokers voice is terrible, sounds like he's on helium<br/><br/>Practically every joke falls flat<br/><br/>Things I Learnt From This Movie:<br/><br/>Nobody bothered to tell the writers that Ivy's pheremones don't work on girls<br/><br/>A book with no pages is never late from the library<br/><br/>Pheremones give you the munchies Possbily my favourite Lego DC Batman/Justice League DtV so far. Standout locations are Gotham, Arkham Asylum, and Joker's Fun House, whilst Madam Mantis's island Dojo looks good. Lost my attention a bit when the action moved to the 'underground kingdom', but the rest easily made up for it.<br/><br/>Introduced Nightwing and Batgirl, along with Beast Boy and Starfire flying the flag for the Titans.<br/><br/>There's a nice nod to the first foot chase with Red Hood in Batman: Under the Red Hood in the way that a certain character makes his first appearance here and how Batman deduces who he is. Some great reproductions of the covers of Action Comics #1 and Detective Comics #27 too - in Lego of course.<br/><br/>7.5/10
