I was afraid that I would be thrown into the fire immediately with the plot of the new title, without any context from the previous one. Fortunately, right from the start, the charming Detective Pikachu greeted me and introduced me to the predecessor's story with a cup of his favorite caffeinated drink.

The special thing about this game is the way it celebrates Batman's long tradition as a character from comics, films, series, and video games. This is probably the only Batman game in which all versions of Batman's costumes, Batmobiles, Gotham's villains, and more have come together. The new LEGO Batman is a kind of celebration of Batman's history, full of references to almost every moment that has defined that history.
