Prince References in Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight
On May 19th, Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight was released early for people like myself that pre-ordered the game and I've seen a couple of Prince references it I'm amazed and overjoyed! Of course Prince is my favorite musician of all time so it's really cool to see all the little Easter eggs tributed to him throughout the game. I've barely made it through and I've already seen a couple of them! For anyone that doesn't know, this game is a love letter to all things Batman and of course Batman 1989 is featured thoroughly in this game and it even recreates the Joker museum scene using one of my favorite Prince songs: Partyman! When I first saw it I was extremely shocked that the estate allowed the development team to use Partyman but ultimately I think it was a great move. This could open younger audiences to Prince's music and of course the scene itself wouldn't be complete without Prince. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LT8IK2ZaCMY
If you bought the additional Party Music pack content, Catwoman even has a suit that's an exact recreation of the Purple Rain suit (but in black of course). As soon as I read the suits description it was no denying it's Prince. This will definitely be my main suit for her!
But what do you guys think? We know Prince created the soundtrack for the movie, but would he have approved to use Partyman and his likeness for this game?
