The House that Batman Built

Okay, John Pepe, this one is for you.   By G.P. Avants   After one of our God Among Geeks planning meetings, two of us went to see Lego Batman. I wasn’t too sure what I would find upon viewing this Chris McKay feature. Was this just another fun romp in Legoland for kids?  What I did…
