September 22, 2008
LEGO Batman

On sale: Sept 23
The fact that Warner Bros. didn’t even bother getting this game out in the same financial quarter as The Dark Knight is a testament to the power of plastic interlocking blocks. Go head to head with Batman villains like the Joker, Two-Face and Poison Ivy. You even get to unleash Alfred’s ability to drop the bitch slap. Now if only they could get Michael Caine to hold a silver tray in the next sequel.
