LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham DLC: Man of Steel Review Summary

Despite enjoyable story and new characters offering good value, the content is overpriced for its short length with uninteresting story and poor quality.

Enjoyable story content: Players find the DLC's story mode based on the Man of Steel film's opening scene to be fun and adventurous. The high-stakes mission with three bosses and Hans Zimmer's score adds excitement.

Great value for price: The DLC is considered worth its price, with good replay value and unlockable characters usable outside the DLC. It appeals to collectors.

New characters and skins: The DLC adds a variety of characters, including Superman's new skin, Zod, Jor-El, Lara, and Kelex. These additions are well-received by fans.

Positive fan reception: Overall, the DLC is rated highly and described as amazing, decent for DC fans, and a cool addition. The voice acting is praised as the best ever.

Visual and audio enhancements: The Man of Steel Superman variant looks better than the standard, and the absence of the Superman theme during flight is appreciated. Key music from the film is present.

Overpriced for short content: Players find the DLC too expensive given its very short length, with comments about being overpriced at $3 or 3€ and the entire episode lasting only 0-10 hours.

Uninteresting story and characters: Feedback highlights that the story is not engaging and most characters are uninteresting, samey, or just okay, with specific criticism about Kryptonians having similar skills.

Poor quality and disappointing: Multiple reviews call it terrible, mediocre, or insipid, with a low score of 4/10 and feeling like a waste of money.

Glitchy and frustrating boss fights: Players report that the boss fight against General Zod is glitchy with enemy running away and unreliable hit detection, plus three bullet-sponge boss fights that take too long to damage.

Missing content and unrelated to game: The DLC does not cover the entire movie, is not related to the original game, and some collectible cards are missing.

Characters from Man of Steel: The DLC adds several characters directly from the film 'Man of Steel', including Superman (a new skin), Zod, Jor-El, Lara Lor-Van, Faora, Kelex, Tor-An, and a Zod agent. This addition is frequently mentioned by reviewers.

Story based on film intro: The DLC's story closely follows the opening scene of 'Man of Steel', where Jor-El and Lara send baby Kal-El to Earth as Krypton is attacked. This narrative focus is consistently highlighted.

Linear level design: The level design is described as linear, with no puzzle solving or exploration. This results in a straightforward, corridor-like experience that contrasts with the base game's style.

Short gameplay duration: The DLC content is very short, typically lasting only about 10 minutes for a single playthrough. This brevity is a common point of feedback among players.

Film music and achievements: The DLC includes key music from the film, composed by Hans Zimmer, and features 5 achievements. These elements add to the authenticity and replayability.

Worth buying on sale: Multiple players recommend purchasing this DLC when it is on sale or as part of a Season Pass for better value.

Season Pass offers better value: Several reviews suggest buying the Season Pass instead of this individual DLC to get all content at a lower cost.

Too expensive for content: Some players feel the DLC is not worth its full price, calling it a waste of money or unnecessary.

Good for specific fans: This DLC is recommended for fans of Superman, Krypton, or those who enjoyed the main story.

Mixed overall recommendation: While some players recommend it, others advise against buying it entirely, creating a split opinion.

Community fair range: $0.00 - $0.00.
