0:18 I'm guessing I'm no fun to play LEGO games with, what with my penchant for backtracking to collect every last LEGO stud possible.
0:19 A slippery piece of LEGO pavement sends me into some muddy water, killing me and losing me some hard-earned LEGO studs. Since when is LEGO Batman soluble in water?
0:20 I love the lime-green-suited LEGO henchmen that just floated in on umbrellas. LEGO people just don't dress with that kind of style anymore...
0:22 Beating up these LEGO henchmen is mindless, but also strangely satisfying. In other games it would just be annoyingly simple. I think it's due to the responsive controls that don't get caught in wild animations. Also, the satisfying THWACK sound effects. And the way the enemies go flying after a good punch, of course.
0:25 Note to self ... do not walk into the glowing, green radioactive waste.
0:26 Batman just demolished a LEGO tree four times his size with ONE PUNCH. I bet the real Batman could do this as well. What? HE IS SO REAL!
0:27 Apparently you can play as LEGO Robin, as I find out when I need to use his LEGO Tech Suit. Every second I'm not controlling LEGO Batman, feels like a tiny piece of me is dying...
0:29 LEGO Robin lets me operate a LEGO tech panel and drive a little LEGO RC car into LEGO Clayface's LEGO hideout. His LEGO henchmen don't seem to notice or care much about this.
0:30 LEGO Clayface battle time. He hides behind an impassable jail-style gate, but then stands on shiny silver LEGO blocks that that I can explode with my LEGO bombs to hurt him. Hey, no one said LEGO Clayface was bright...
0:31 I use my LEGO batarang to activate some LEGO switches and blow LEGO Clayface into a cage. In a cut scene, LEGO Riddler has a large gold key and makes off in a getaway car with LEGO Two-Face driving. I put a LEGO homing device on the back of the car. The LEGO Riddler left a box with a LEGO puzzle in it. My stud total for the level is over 39,000, because I'm such a stud. I only found two of ten minikits, though. Aww.
0:34 In a cut scene and in the LEGO Batmobile, tracking the car. LEGO Robin is showboating on his LEGO Robin-cycle. The LEGO Police are frozen in some LEGO ice, which can only mean one thing ... LEGO Joker! Wait, I mean LEGO Mr. Freeze! "An Icy Reception" is the name of the level. Groan...
0:36 This entire minute spent happily busting up LEGO crates to pad that LEGO stud total. Oh yeah! Studly!
0:37 So I built these cannon things from LEGO pieces I found lying around, but I can't figure out how to use them...
0:38 Running over LEGO villains with a LEGO ice cream truck is surprisingly not as satisfying as simply punching them.
0:39 A LEGO batarang breaks down the hinges on a LEGO fence holder. LEGO Robin gets a new LEGO Magnetic Suit to walk on magnetic surfaces (duh!). Meanwhile, LEGO eskimos ATTACK!
0:41 We're in LEGO Freeze's lair, where LEGO Batman gets an awesome LEGO Glide Suit allowing him to ... glide across long gaps. Robin can't follow until I give him a LEGO bridge. I consider not doing it, but that would be mean...
