I’ve been anticipating the release of this new LEGO Batman Story Pack for weeks, mostly because I just kept seeing Target’s put it out on the shelves early. Teases! But also because of the work I’ve been doing with Brian at Built from Bricks. We did a great Clayface build and are going to review this Story Pack once I get back from my trip to Dad 2.0. I’m also going to see the LEGO Batman movie tomorrow night thanks to LEGO!! I’m very excited for this and can’t wait to talk about it with Brian!
For now check out the gameplay trailer for this Story Pack!
There are actually three other new packs that came out today as well: The LEGO Batman Movie Story Pack, the Excalibur Batman Fun Pack and Knight Rider Fun Pack — includes new characters, vehicles and Adventure Worlds, expanding the LEGO Dimensions world even further.
