DC All Access: First Clip From LEGO Justice League: Gotham City Breakout
By D. Goodman
The Justice League is back in LEGO form as DC All Access gives us our first peek at the new movie LEGO Justice League: Gotham City Breakout.
When most fans think of the Justice League, the first thought that comes to mind is probably the currently shooting Zack Snyder film of the same name. It promises big spectacle and widescreen action while delivering a Justice League that will be heavy on the pathos and light on the jokes.
Then, there is the LEGO Justice League, which is… none of those things.

The LEGO versions of the heroes of the DC Universe have been starring in direct-to-video adventures for a while now, with Batman set to star in his very own theatrical release next year. But before that happens, the latest adventure of the LEGO Justice League will be arriving on Blu-ray for your enjoyment.
LEGO Justice League: Gotham City Breakout features the members of the team deciding Batman desperately needs a vacation. So they agree to watch over Gotham City while he is gone and, being this is a LEGO movie, chaos and hilarity ensue.
DC All Access has your very first look at the movie with an exclusive clip.
From the official summary:
"When Batgirl and Nightwing take Batman on a trip down memory lane – literally – to visit one of the key mentors from his formative years, it’s up to the Justice League to keep Gotham City crime-free. But neither situation proves to be a “vacation” as the Bat trio encounters old nemeses on their adventure, and the Justice League discovers just how busy Batman is on a regular basis. It’s a brick-tastic battle on two fronts as Batman, Batgirl and Nightwing take on Bane and Deathstroke, while the Justice League – with some help from a few Teen Titans – fends off an assault by many of Batman’s infamous adversaries to ensure Gotham City’s safety."

So if you like your Justice League serious and full of drama and serious action, then I would wait for Snyder’s version. But if you don’t mind your DC heroes a bit silly and funny, LEGO Justice League: Gotham City Breakout will be right up your alley.
LEGO Justice League: Gotham City Breakout arrives on Blu-ray and DVD on July 12, 2016.
