Billy batson gets his first pay from the league and does what all people who find they are kinda related to wonder Woman would do
Buy legos and make a wonder woman statue for her, it's a bit wonky and he genuinely considers if he should give it to her
So he goes up to her one day and is like "oh hey you know how we are kinda cousins, I made this for you, sorry it's not that good"
And Diana? She fucking loves it
She shows it off to everyone, smug to the skies because see, I told you captain Marvel sees her as family
And flash and hal see the chance for competition, so they try to lowkey imply they would like one as well but Billy is all like "oh yeah, my mother used to do it as well, it used to be like a family tradition"
Which okay, super sweet first of all and second, so they gotta get him to see them as family to get one
Challenge accepted

Part 4 of me showing how DC's tend to be more sympathetic or at least more fun than their heroes (based on me playing Lego DC Supervillians). Mostly Flash Villians and Suicide Squad characters, this time:
Mirror Master: There's been two mirror masters. Sam Scudder and Evan McCullough. Skimming wikipedia, Sam Scudder seems pretty boring. He's just a simple convict who has mirror powers. But Evan McCullough (the one in the Lego game), oh boy. He was an orphan who was sexually assaulted at 8 years old and figured out who his parents were just to see them both die. That's all kinds of messed up, and it makes him incredibly sympathetic.
Killer Frost: There's been a few Killer Frosts (according to wikipedia), but the one trend I see: they're usually always scientists who get themselves in horrible accidents. I believe the current Killer Frost is Caitlin Snow, and wikipedia says her whole thing is that she's basically a vampire for heat due to a botched arctic experiment. And that's incredibly tragic.
Deadshot: Deadshot seems like he's got a really messed up backstory. A rich but negligent and abusive family, his mother tried to get his brother to kill his father. When he tried to stop them, he ended up killed his brother. That's incredibly dark and sad. Also, I think he has a kid whom he actually cares about. Which is sweet. At least he's possibly trying to be better than what came before him?
Captain Boomerang: Captain Boomerang actually does seem like a not great guy. He hates being ridiculed and grew up in poverty, but (at least in the comics, according to wikipedia) he's also a jerk. But he is fun and very entertaining, so I'll give him that.

LEGO DC Super-Villains Is actually Really Good, and you should play it if you can!
Let's get something out of the way, first: I am a fan of Scarecrow, Riddler, Cap. Cold, Reverse Flash, and Mirror Master, specifically Evan McCulloch. That last bit will be important later.
I have played probably an accumulated 4-5 hours of this game, and I hop off of stream stupidly happy every time. I have done 2 separate streams, but already I believe this is game of the year potential for DC fans.
There are plenty of returning voice actors from older projects regarding the same character. Jeffrey Combs returns as Scarecrow once again, as does Wally Wingert as The Riddler, and C. Thomas Howell as Reverse Flash. The design, powers, and characterization of all the characters are so on-point, fun, and great to play as. The graphics are great, the game runs smoothly, it has a solid and fun storyline so far, and it's just so much fun to play.
I audibly gasped when I heard Mirror Master's voice... Because it was Scottish. AKA the most forgotten Mirror Master, Evan McCulloch. As far as I know and can remember, Evan has not been in much, if any, media that isn't the comics, and even then he's a sight for sore eyes. A rarity. A unicorn.
This game is healing my inner child like you wouldn't believe. This game is cute and charming, and as I've mentioned before, it's just plain fun. The roster is vast, and there's free play and free roam. You can make your own villain, give them whatever powers you want right from the get-go, and you earn more along the way. The main character is mentioned in a gender-neutral fashion, using They/Them pronouns, but I may have done something in my character creation to get this, I'm not sure.
There have been so many cute and funny moments, I adore the characterizations of all of my favorites and the other characters around them, and I'm normally a person who gets disappointed with the characterization of these characters. For example, Riddler in Arkham Knight, as well as Scarecrow, and Eobard Thawne in The Flash show, plus the absolute lack of representation for Evan McCulloch's Mirror Master in the first place.
@gorogues @jonathan-cranes-mistress-of-fear you NEED to boost this game!! As a rogues fan, both of Gotham and Central City, this game has been such a boon to the fandom, and frankly it's sleeping on it. I'm hoping you'll join me in sparking a love for this game. This game feels like such a labor of love and a love letter to all the DC villain fans. Even heroes like Batman, Nightwing, and The Flash, still are playable and make an appearance!
