I wanna get a Super Saiyan Mohawk when I grow up! :swoon:

LEGO Star Wars was better, but I have to admit this was their first attempt at a combat-heavy game with a more serious atmosphere, so that probably made it harder.

Personally, I think the LEGO games were better when they didn't have voiced cutscenes--animating body language on these characters, especially when they imitate the limited points of articulation on a real figurine, adds a comic tone to all of the scenes.

And I think going "more serious" for superhero stuff is a move in the wrong direction. These guys are larger than life (both literally and figuratively), they fight a rogues gallery full of hilariously insane villains, and their brightly-colored costumes have the underwear on the outside, for crying out loud! I believe one of the major motivations in Joker's antagonism of the Batman is that Joker thinks Batman would make the perfect straight guy in a comedy duo, but 1) Joker's sense of humor literally kills people and 2) Batman being the epitome of >( in every situation can be leveraged for all sorts of laughs.
