Aside from Superman and Lex Luthor, the expanded cast of DC characters mainly appear in cameo form. It has a more entertaining plot than I expected, but Lego Batman 2 misses some enticing narrative possibilities. It's a Lego game with an actual character arc, albeit one that's watered down and easy to swallow. Batman's irritated responses to an always-grinning Superman hint at the divide between the two, a distinction that builds toward a pleasant - though again, very kid-friendly - conclusion. Lego Batman 2 embraces the goofiness of a dark, serious Batman existing in the same world as his colorful Justice League allies.
