I strolled into a late April event for Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight in a funk. Traffic was horrendous on the morning journey into Los Angeles, sleep was crap the night before, and topping off my car cost $45. Were this a hands-on with any other Batman game, the brooding might've helped me get into the mind of the caped crusader.
But as I should've guessed from developer Traveller's Tales' modern Lego run, Legacy of the Dark Knight is just too darn delightful to sustain a stormy mood. It took all of five minutes for the brick-based brawler to put a smile on my face, and it didn't go away for two hours of play.
