Adam West delivers a perfect celebrity in peril for each of the story levels, serving much the same role as Stan Lee did in "LEGO Marvel Super Heroes."
It's certainly interesting to see them in the game, but the roles could very easily have been filled by any of the 150 characters included in the roster - or even Jim Lee and Geoff Johns, who have a much more relevant tether to the DC Universe. O'Brien serves as a tutorial of sorts, explaining different machinery in the Watchtower, while Smith takes on the role of a sidequest guru. However, it feels like the TT Games team almost went a little overboard with the characters that appear in-game the celebrity appearances like Conan O'Brien and Kevin Smith aren't really explained in the slightest - and they seem woefully out of place on the Justice League Watchtower. Green Loontern in particular is a favorite, as is Troy Baker's Batman and Stephen Amell's Green Arrow. It's a by-the-numbers story, and it's kept decently engaging by some excellent voice work - the cast is understandably massive and each character has a wonderfully distinctive voice. Players have the opportunity to journey to different planets in the DCU to gather the Lantern power batteries that will help un-shrink the Earth and defeat Brainiac. "LEGO Batman 3" certainly adheres to the timeless "LEGO" game formula, and follows in step with the previous "LEGO Batman" games with an original story (a concept first introduced in the original "LEGO Batman") that sees Brainiac attempt to shrink the Earth using the powers of the various Lantern Corps of the DC Universe.

The game does away with the massive open world seen in "The LEGO Movie Video Game" and "LEGO The Hobbit," and instead opts for closed-off hubs in The Watchtower and The Batcave.
Notably, TT Games has done away with special "suits" taking up character slots, opting for a wheel that allows certain characters to change suits at will to perform different specialized tasks.
Speedsters have the Master Builder ability from "The LEGO Movie Video Game" - in fact, there isn't much here that's actually new or unique. There are quite a few gameplay enhancements in "LEGO Batman 3," not the least of which is a fun space shooter sequence in the spirit of "Resogun." This game also has quite a bit in common with "LEGO Marvel Super Heroes" in terms of gameplay - characters with shield-like objects can walk through flames characters with reflective objects can bounce lasers as long as they're standing on a special platform elastic characters can transform into special objects large characters can bash through broken walls and lift heavy objects. While the development team at TT Games has used a number of tools to keep the games fresh and interesting, "LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham" is the first time I've felt the franchise is slowing down. I've been a fan of TT Games' "LEGO" video game franchise since "LEGO Star Wars" first hit shelves nearly a decade ago in 2005, and it's pretty fair to say that the basic formula of the popular franchise hasn't changed: play through a story, pick up many LEGO studs to attain mastery over a level, then use the studs gathered to purchase new characters that will, in turn, help unlock more content.
