Release Date: September 23, 2008

ESRB Rating: “Everyone 10+“ for mild cartoon violence.
Pros: More fun the longer you play, plenty of collectibles, multiplayer mode, well-executed 3D environments and cute story.
Cons: Does not follow the plot of any Batman movie, repetitive puzzles and a fatal revival glitch in Free Play Mode.
Overall Score: One thumb up, one thumb sideways; 81/100; B-; * * * out of five.

Taking a huge hint from the success of the Lego Star Wars and Lego Indiana Jones games, Warner Bros. has converted yet another an iconic character book hero into colored pegs to star in a video game…

gamertell lego batman mcdonalds happy meal toy code locationFor those of you who indulge in the delicacies of fatty snacks that come in a colorful box and an accompanying toy, the recent McDonald’s Happy Meals are promoting Lego Batman and a game code has been stamped on the bottom of each toy.

There are eight toys in the set including four vehicles and four characters. Each game code unlocks playable characters so you don’t have to wait until later in the game to cash in precious and readily available Lego pegs for the same character.

Title: The Dark Knight (aka Batman: The Dark Knight, Batman Begins 2, The Dark Knight: The IMAX Experience)
Release Date: July 18, 2008
Company: Warner Bros.
Rating: PG-13
Length: 142 min (2 hours, 22 minutes)
Pros: A lot of great acting, a well-woven story and plenty of psychological creepiness. The more realistic Gotham City is a well-executed contrast to the inner darkness of the characters.
Cons: A little long and a bit too creepy for kids. Only one moment of unbelievability.
Overall Score: Two thumbs up; 93/100; A-; * * * * out of five.

Put away your illusions that this is a big-screen adaptation of Frank Miller’s graphic Novel, The Dark Night Returns. While there is a tiny nod or two to the book, this is continuation of the Batman Begins film with a new origin of at least one DC Comics character and a more realistic, visually brighter yet thematically darker take on Batman.
