2 hours with Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight was an uncomplicated burst of joy

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.
