Lego Batman Goes on a Killing Spree
Just in time to celebrate Lego’s 50th anniversary (50 years of adults stepping on them in bare feet, and shrieking in agony?wow!), the second Lego video game coming out this year is Lego Batman. Lego has released a short trailer for the game, where Batman has clearly snapped (well, further snapped) and murders the living fuck out of a huge crowd of criminals.
“Criminals are a superstitious and cowardly lot. I think I’ll dress us like a bat as kill as many of them as I can find.”

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.

Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
