Lego Batman: the Video Game from 2008 is one of the most beloved and iconic titles from TT Games' run with the franchise. However, as I've shown before with Lego Indiana Jones and Lego Star Wars, the handheld ports would always be significantly altered to work on weaker hardware, and this is no exception. The Nintendo DS version of Lego Batman has several dramatic changes, from an expanded roster, vehicle gameplay changes, massively overhauled levels with new content and boss fights, and more. Come see just how weird this port gets.
