I have great admiration for the Lego-ization process making brutal and horrific violence completely acceptable for little kids.  I mean, lets face it, Raiders of the Lost Ark is not exactly a family-friendly movie.  Those snakes still creep *me* out!  But when Lego Indy is comically scared of a Lego snake or shoots some guy into Lego pieces, it all just works.

That's a pretty amazing franchise when you can apply it to source material as different as the Star Wars and Indiana Jones movies.  Yet it totally hits on the right beats... wandering around the college last night in Lego Indy, with the sweeping musical themes playing... it totally pushed all the buttons of my fond teenage memories of the series.

Will Lego Batman continue the streak in the fall?  Hard to say.  But I'm impressed so far.
