Lego Batman 2: DC Superheroes Nintendo 3DS

Why has this page got and possibley Nintendo 3DS it will come out for Nintendo 3DS becuse it's a new syestem and TT Game will never go back to just makeing DS games but we don't now if it's comeing to Nintendo Wii only or if Nintendo WiiU is geting it aswell.A Candela (talk) 04:40, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

The game has been confirmed to be released on the 3DS and Wii. No information about a Wii U version of the game has been announced. --WikiEditor44 (talk) 18:17, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

PSP

The page says one of the systems is the Playstation Portable, but none of the source links mention the PSP as one of the systems. The only Playstation systems any of the links mention it's supposed to be available for is the PS3 and the Playstation Vita. Is there anything to confirm the PSP will indeed be one of the systems? If not, that should be deleted from the article. - anonymous 3/15/2012 11:55 PM EST — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.64.5.105 (talk) 03:55, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

This game is listed on the list of PSP games, is there or isn't there a PSP version? --86.157.125.183 (talk) 17:26, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

I don't think it's on the PlayStation Portable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.25.128.39 (talk) 14:16, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

Voice acting

The last sentence in the Audio section says, "Both Superman & Robin are both voiced by Travis Willingham & Charlie Schlatter." Firstly, the word "both" is redundant, or at least confusing. I don't understand what it means. Do the actors lend their voice to both characters at different parts in the game? Or is Superman voiced by Willingham and Robin by Schlatter? Secondly, the reference is to a YouTube video that doesn't mention anything about the voice actors as far as I can tell. IMDB states that Superman is indeed voiced by Willingham, but Robin is voiced by Scott Menville, and Schlatter is credited with nothing. --64.134.138.43 (talk) 20:42, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

I am mad at everyone for thinking this on youtube and game review sites, but this just takes the cake. Why do you all think that this is the first Lego game to feature voice acting? Seriously, what the heck? --Lair of Rockwhales (talk) 00:03, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Dude get over it. 188.222.227.22 (talk) 22:01, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

So I should "get over" people getting facts wrong? Alright then, as long as you stop ever correcting mistakes anyone makes (including articles on this site) I will too. --Lair of Rockwhales (talk) 05:55, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

GET OVER IT! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.222.227.22 (talk) 22:30, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

Get over what? Correcting mistakes? Isn't the point of this site to be accurate? Maybe we should all get over it then and let this site crumble. People like you...ugh. --Lair of Rockwhales (talk) 19:52, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

It's the first LEGO Game by TT that features voices, so it is justifiable that people less familiar with the history of LEGO video games, possibly because they are younger, would make that mistake. And perhaps what everyone else is saying is to fix the mistake and leave it at that, not get mad and say something irrelevant to the Willingham/Schlatter/Menville issue on the Talk Page section that should be discussing it.--50.99.251.225 (talk) 15:53, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

It was released already

The game has been released, and while the information is mostly up to date, there are a few sporadic "will"s or "has been confirmed"s. These should be attended to. NorwegianNazgul (talk) 16:39, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

Soundtrack incorrect

The soundtrack section does not accuractly reflect the soundtrack in the game. Yes it does contain tracks from the mentioned titles, but it also appears to contain unique pieces which are heavy remixes from the Batmans. Specificly the track that can only be described as Lex Luthors theme (plays when assulting his machines) as well as the track that plays in the final missions.

Unfortunatly everyone keeps quoting Wikipedia for the soundtrack information which has resulted in no one bothering to find out what the name of these tracks are. I am guessing that they will be part of the official sound track as a tie-in for the Lego Batman 2 movie. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.131.83.164 (talk) 01:42, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

This has been fixed although citations are required as evidence (how does one cite game credits?).Imperial Good (talk) 15:37, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Date format

You all might note that there has been a discussion at WT:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers #User converting date formats in complete articles regarding the applicability of the MOS:NUM guideline to the last pair of edits to this article, both of which cited the MOS for authority. This bears on whether dates in this article should be in MDY or DMY format. ~ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 20:58, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

There being no comments or objections, I have reverted the last mass date-format change, per the discussion at WT:MOSDATE. The date-format style established for this article is DMY, which should be retained per MOS:DATERET. ~ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 20:24, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

Reassessing this article

No one seemed to reassess it in a week so I'll do it myself I suppose. I'll be going off the criteria for a B-class article.

1. The article is suitably referenced, with inline citations. This is mostly what's affecting my judgement. There are very few sources on Lego Batman 2 and it's unlikely that there will be. However, most of the things in this article are sourced reliably and more so than a C-class.
2. The article reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain obvious omissions or inaccuracies. Yes. I've fact checked everything and everything that could be covered seems covered.
3. The article is reasonably well-written. Yes. I've checked the article and removed wordy phrases. Certain sections could be done better but other than that I see no issue.
4. The article contains supporting materials where appropriate. Yes. Everything that could be included has been included.
5. The article presents its content in an appropriately understandable way. Yes. A broad focus has been applied.

The article excels at four out of five of the key points for a B-class article, but falters when it comes to the first. I'm willing to give it a B-class article status. It's far from even a good article or A-class, but it's reasonable to say that it also isn't a C-class article. elijahpepe@wikipedia 15:51, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

Comments

General

• The {{small}} template from the infobox should be removed per MOS:SMALL.
• Implement {{Unbulleted list}} for directors and composers.
• Add a comma between Action-adventure and platform.

  Done. elijahpepe@wikipedia 16:45, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

• "Some suits from Lego Batman: The Videogame return in Lego Batman 2, such as the magnetic suit for Robin, and the sonic suit for Batman. Other suits returning include the demolition suit and sonar suit for Batman." → Some suits from Lego Batman: The Videogame return in Lego Batman 2, such as the magnetic suit for Robin, and the sonic suit, demolition suit and sonar suit for Batman.

  Agreed, that was wordy. Fixed. elijahpepe@wikipedia 23:55, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

• Point missing at the end of the second sentence in the "Music" section.

  Fixed. elijahpepe@wikipedia 23:55, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

• All are alright.

• "Like its predecessor, the player can defeat enemies by using the abilities each character provides, such as Superman's super freeze or the Joker's handbuzzer, as well as traditional combat moves such as standard punches and kicks. Most enemies in the game don't carry weapons, although boss levels may have certain weapons or abilities that the player must counter. Combat rewards the player with studs, which the player can use to purchase new characters to use in the game's free roam section, and thereby contributes to their "True Hero" percentage for the mission." – unsourced.
• "Certain adjustments exist between the two games, including the addition of a glass shattering gun to the glide suit (now called the bat suit), and the addition of a gun that can store water to the bio suit (now called the hazard suit). New suits available in Lego Batman 2 include the acrobat suit allowing for Robin to traverse areas that require acrobatics, magnet suit allowing for Robin to traverse areas with magnets and control magnetic elements, and ice suit to freeze water for Robin, and the sensor suit to go invisible and view X-rays, power suit to destroy silver objects and use super strength, and electricity suit to transfer energy between switches and move through areas with electricity for Batman. These suits can be used to aid in combat. For instance, the power suit's ability to create missiles can be used to track missiles to enemies." – unsourced.

• "Synopsis" section is mostly unsourced.

• One dead link spotted, the YouTube source can be removed since there's another source besides it.

  Removed. elijahpepe@wikipedia 23:55, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

Well, I believe that this article deserves a quick fail, mostly because it contains a lot of unsourced paragraphs. Once the sources get added some parts of the text will also have to be re-written. When this gets fixed, it can get nominated for a review again. Cheers, --Vacant0 (talk) 18:16, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
