I had a 9 hour nap and dreamt, in a bizarre mash-up, that Mr Bean organized a bank robbery.....as the bank was transporting all of their gold reserves (Trickster says hi) in the air via a steampunk parachute troup, all men with goggles, handlebar moustaches, suspenders. I woke up during the part where one man threatened to leave because he his lucky glasses broke
So James Jesse helped to train Eddie Bloomberg when he was still Kid Devil. Then gained personal beef with Neron by defeating him during underworld unleashed, then defeated him again in New Year Evil and then a few years later Eddie went and sold his soul to Neron in exchange for his powers...
Anyway I have headcannons about James and Eddie if anyone's interested in those two.
It's loads of fun! It might be my fav of the Lego titles.....if Hobbit didn't exist, so it's a close second.
LEGO DC Super-Villains Is actually Really Good, and you should play it if you can!
Let's get something out of the way, first: I am a fan of Scarecrow, Riddler, Cap. Cold, Reverse Flash, and Mirror Master, specifically Evan McCulloch. That last bit will be important later.
I have played probably an accumulated 4-5 hours of this game, and I hop off of stream stupidly happy every time. I have done 2 separate streams, but already I believe this is game of the year potential for DC fans.
There are plenty of returning voice actors from older projects regarding the same character. Jeffrey Combs returns as Scarecrow once again, as does Wally Wingert as The Riddler, and C. Thomas Howell as Reverse Flash. The design, powers, and characterization of all the characters are so on-point, fun, and great to play as. The graphics are great, the game runs smoothly, it has a solid and fun storyline so far, and it's just so much fun to play.
I audibly gasped when I heard Mirror Master's voice... Because it was Scottish. AKA the most forgotten Mirror Master, Evan McCulloch. As far as I know and can remember, Evan has not been in much, if any, media that isn't the comics, and even then he's a sight for sore eyes. A rarity. A unicorn.
This game is healing my inner child like you wouldn't believe. This game is cute and charming, and as I've mentioned before, it's just plain fun. The roster is vast, and there's free play and free roam. You can make your own villain, give them whatever powers you want right from the get-go, and you earn more along the way. The main character is mentioned in a gender-neutral fashion, using They/Them pronouns, but I may have done something in my character creation to get this, I'm not sure.
There have been so many cute and funny moments, I adore the characterizations of all of my favorites and the other characters around them, and I'm normally a person who gets disappointed with the characterization of these characters. For example, Riddler in Arkham Knight, as well as Scarecrow, and Eobard Thawne in The Flash show, plus the absolute lack of representation for Evan McCulloch's Mirror Master in the first place.
@gorogues @jonathan-cranes-mistress-of-fear you NEED to boost this game!! As a rogues fan, both of Gotham and Central City, this game has been such a boon to the fandom, and frankly it's sleeping on it. I'm hoping you'll join me in sparking a love for this game. This game feels like such a labor of love and a love letter to all the DC villain fans. Even heroes like Batman, Nightwing, and The Flash, still are playable and make an appearance!
