Those traitorous traitors at Traveller's Tales have added some of that disgusting dialog that you hear in all these modern games nowadays to LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes. But that's okay, at least they got The Joker's voice actor down. Maybe they'll even get Christian Bale to do his trademark obnoxious gravelly Batman voice. On second thought, that's probably not such a good idea.
Personally, it was a little shocking to see what should be a voiceless LEGO character talking. The LEGO games have always been known for their amazing ability to convey humor without any dialog whatsoever, so we'll see how it works out in LEGO Batman 2. Now, the rest of the game is looking spectacular, of course. It'll be cool to see the likes of Superman, Green Lantern, and Wonder Woman partner up with Batman and Robin to take down the legion of LEGO villains that have decided to terrorize Gotham City this time around.
We don't know how long production took for this game. Just because Arkham City was Hamill's last project doesn't mean he didn't do the voice for this LEGO game before he did Arkham City.
I've always been interested in "gibberish" dialogue games, and knowing whether or not the gibberish was a creative decision, or budgetary concerns/limitations. I'm surprised the LEGO series went full voice, as I thought that was part of the charm.
Also, it didn't sound like Hamill, even if he could have been involved pre-Arkham City.
Holy crap! That's some production value! Licensing the Superman Theme and getting Elfman's Batman score - very nice! Odd for me that I'm very opposed to characters not talking in video games (Mario, Crono, Link) because I don't think it adds anything to the story, but with these LEGO games, it has really been charming that the characters didn't talk. Time will tell.
so why isn't it called simply Lego Justice League?
it's good that they're finally ditching that old format and engine which they were using for all past Lego games. i can't wait to see what can be done with Legos in open world environment.

LEGO games. Love 'em or hate 'em, they're not going anywhere. There's always some pop culture property out there that looks so ridiculous yet so FUN when done up in LEGO blocks. For the most part, the core gameplay has stayed the same for many of these titles; there has been little innovation or change of the tried-and-true formula.
Until now. Mind you, this is both a good thing and a bad thing.more
