Not that I mind in the slightest because it's Conan, but what on earth has Conan ever done related to Batman or Legos? Despite being a golden god because of his contributions to golden age Simpsons, he's actually not that much of a nerd and never has been, it's more that nerds just happen to love him. At least with Duck Dodgers or Kevin Smith or something there's a precedent.

He had Bruce Timm create him a character and put it in Young Justice episodes.

In short it's not just Stephen Amell as Lego Arrow. You also get all the other cast members.

What's especially rich about the World of Cardboard thing is that the guy who wrote it wasn't even a Superman fan and was grasping at anything he could find on the character. I'm all for outsider interpretation but come on.

It's from the finale of JLU (which is essentially the finale of the DCAU entirely).

Also Superman gets his poo poo wrecked a few seconds after that

That Spider-Man unlimited game is pretty fun if you're in the market for a runner where you unlock lots of different Spider-Man costumes, like the best Spider-Man costume; Scarlet Spider.

Can't be arsed to do play store and windows phone and iOs links, so Polygon will suffice.

Same here, I just got Injustice and I hate almost all the default costumes. Everyone is unnecessarily armored and over designed. It's the worst of people like flash who should be streamlined and not bulky like that. Even Joker had armored shoulder braces.

muscles like this!

It just seems like someone in the DC/WB game division has a boner for armored Flash, seeing as they did the same thing for DCU:O.

Batman Beyond or bust, son. :colbert:

(I really wish the Beyond suit would've actually shrunk Batman to be, y'know, smaller, like Terry is supposed to be, but I know video games are hard work and it'd be tough making a whole new character model.)

Man the Frank Miller suit was way stockier, they just half assed the Beyond one. It also really should've been cartoon-styled like the animated series one. Instead it just looked like a really creepy batman-themed S&M outfit.

They did do one thing right and removed the cape, then had his little underarm wings pop out when you were gliding. That was so cool :allears:

Yeah, it was freaking radical. If they'd done the rest of the suit right I probably would have used it even more than the animated series one.

To be fair, Bruce wore the Beyond suit in that show's pilot movie, which I think is the justification for why the basic model's the same as the regular Batman. It's not supposed to be Terry in the suit.
