The Lego DC Comics movies are always fun and funny to watch. I was looking forward to Lego DC Comics Super Heroes: Aquaman: Rage of Atlantis not just for Aquaman (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker), but for the introduction of the newest Green Lantern, Jessica Cruz (Cristina Milizia). She’s both a new character in the movie and the bonus minifigure, available with the movie for a limited time. (Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with a review copy.) As shouldn’t […]

Lego DC Comics Super Heroes: The Flash is a cute, fun adventure with plenty of imagination and humor for young viewers. As it opens, Cyborg (Khary Payton) is being shown up by Ace the Bat-Hound, and Superman (Nolan North) and Batman (Troy Baker) are showing new member Atom (Eric Bauza) around the Justice League headquarters. Plastic Man (Tom Kenny), Firestorm (Phil LaMarr), and Wonder Woman (Grey Griffin) join in to respond to a trouble alert. The Joker (Jason Spisak) is […]

The latest in the line of cute, goofy comedy superhero adventures was perfect viewing for a lazy Sunday afternoon. Lego DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League: Gotham City Breakout splits up the teams in a creative way. To celebrate Batman’s anniversary of becoming a hero, Nightwing and Batgirl take him on a vacation to see a former mentor, Madame Mantis. Of course, they stumble on a secret plot with a number of battles with other criminals involved. Meanwhile, back in […]

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has announced a new entry in their Lego DC Comics Super Heroes direct-to-video movie line. Lego DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League: Gotham City Breakout has an adorable concept. Batman (Troy Baker) needs a vacation, so Nightwing (Will Friedle) and Batgirl (Sarah Hyland) take him out of town. The Justice League agree to watch over Gotham while he’s gone, and they have their hands full when the Joker (Jason Spisak), the Penguin (Tom Kenny), Harley Quinn […]

The premise of Lego DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League: Cosmic Clash is one many comic and superhero fans are familiar with. Brainiac is shrinking planets for his collection, and his latest target is Earth. In order to get rid of the Justice League, who are in his way, he sends the members to other time periods. This “split the team up and give them separate challenges” is classic Silver Age Justice League plotting. Combined with the amount of humor […]

The Lego DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League franchise continues with a new movie, Cosmic Clash. It’s available now digitally; March 1 if you want to buy a Blu-ray or DVD edition; or if you’re in the Los Angeles area, you can get free tickets to the World Premiere on February 13. The “family-friendly event” starts at noon at The Paley Center for Media (465 North Beverly Drive in Beverly Hills). It will include a post-screening interactive panel discussion, photo […]

Out next week is Lego DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League: Attack of the Legion of Doom, a new installment in the series portraying DC characters as Lego minifigs. I’ve already written about the voice casting and posted some clips, but now, I’ve gotten a chance to check out the actual film. The first surprise was that this was an actual movie, an hour and 17 minutes long. The greater length allows for more scenes of team-building, as the Justice […]

The home video purchases will include an exclusive Trickster Lego mini-figure while supplies […]
