It's Official.

Recently Lego Released a really cool new game, Lego DC Super Heroes.

What? Never heard of it?

Of course you haven't because it's not in fact called that it's Lego Batman 2: DC Superheroes. The Game is probably awesome don't get me wrong. No Lego mashup game has been less. But it makes me sad, because it's now official, the DC Superheroes are now Batman's sidekicks, at least in marketing. 

I have gotten so sick in the recent years about DC and Warner's inability or unwillingness to market any of their heroes except batman, it started bad last year when the big re boot of DC The New 52 happened and Batman was left untouched (save for the removal of a few support characters). Really DC you thought nothing at all was wrong with Batman's status quo these days? Of course not the character is in those movies by that Nolan guy that print money for us right now. Feh. 


Honestly, Batman has not worked for me as a character for a while now, but that aside, it just burns me that They have so little faith in a game of DC Superheroes under any name other than Batman. And don't give me that "they already had a Batman Game" line. DC Superheroes as a name can sell, there are many cartoons with the characters and the kids love 'em. Plus even if the name recognition isn't there. Anyone when they saw a Lego version of Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and yes Batman it will excite. But did DC, WB, or Lego  have faith? 

No the made the DC Universe Batman's sidekicks. 

Rant over.
