What’s It About?
Choose the Read to Me, Read it Myself, or Autoplay options in BATMAN UNLIMITED: GOTHAM CITY'S MOST WANTED. Listen to or read the page, then tap the arrow or swipe to move to the next page. Look for interactive elements such as flying between skyscrapers and choosing the hero they want Batman to call first. Continue through all pages until the real criminal is revealed.
Is It Any Good?
This is a long storybook for kids in the 6-to-8 age range for which this app is intended, and most of the interactive elements are very basic, though sometimes intense. For example, if players do not guide Batman ever so slightly left or right when he's flying between the skyscrapers, he bumps into the buildings and seems to burst into black smoke and make grating scraping noises, though he continues to fly. Also, some of the criminals may be too scary-looking for young kids. Lengthy download times may also deter some, as installing the full app takes a few minutes. Kids may have to be older than 8 and/or serious Batman fans and crime and mystery enthusiasts to make it all the way through the 40-page story, but kids who like solving mysteries will most likely really enjoy how this story builds as they help Batman collect clues and choose options.
Talk to Your Kids About ...

Discuss the concepts of "good guys" and "bad guys" in comic books vs. in real life. Do all criminals look "bad" in real life?

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
