With Thanksgiving just around the corner, Netflix is celebrating something we all should be thankful for– friends! To help you celebrate your Friendsgiving this year, check out the following “Dynamic Duos” from TV & movies:
LEGO® Batman™ 3: Beyond Gotham launched in North America earlier this week for the PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment systems, PlayStation®Vita handheld entertainment system (also playable on PlayStation® TV), Xbox® One all-in-one games and entertainment system and Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft, Wii U™ system from Nintendo, Nintendo 3DS™ hand-held system and Windows PC.
“LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham is without a doubt this year’s ultimate Super Hero game for all ages,” said Tom Stone, Managing Director, TT Games Publishing. “From free-roam gameplay, to flying LEGO big figures and exploring Lantern Worlds with DC Comics’ most amazing characters, the fun and possibilities in LEGO Batman 3 are endless.”
In LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham, the Caped Crusader joins forces with the super heroes of the DC Comics universe and blasts off to outer space to stop the evil Brainiac from destroying Earth. Using the power of the Lantern Rings, Brainiac shrinks worlds to add to his twisted collection of miniature cities from across the universe and the greatest Super Heroes and most cunning Super Villains must unite and journey to different Lantern Worlds to stop him.
Players will unlock and play as more than 150 characters, including members of the Justice League and the Legion of Doom, as well as LEGO big figures such as Arkillo, Atrocitus and many more, each with their own gadgets and abilities. In LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham players will explore iconic locations such as the Hall of Justice, the Batcave and the Justice League Watchtower, as well as visit and freely explore various Lantern planets like Odym, Zamaron and Okaara.
LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham also features an incredible line-up of voice actors, many of whom are reprising their roles in the LEGO Batman videogame franchise, including: Troy Baker (Batman); Travis Willingham (Superman); Christopher Cory Smith (The Joker); Laura Bailey (Wonder Woman and Catwoman); Dee Bradley Baker (Brainiac); Josh Keaton (Green Lantern); Scott Porter (Aquaman), and none other than 1960s Batman himself, Adam West! The game also features star-studded appearances by Conan O’Brien and Kevin Smith as themselves and Stephen Amell, star of the hit TV series Arrow, as Green Arrow.
In addition to the wealth of new environments, characters and features in the game, LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham also marks another first for the LEGO videogame franchise – a Season Pass. The Season Pass will include six downloadable packs, each with a uniquely themed mission level with story and free play modes. Players will be able to unlock more than 40 characters, vehicles, achievements and more. Three add-on content packs will be available at launch: The Dark Knight, Man of Steel and Batman 75th (a great chance for kids and parents to celebrate Batman’s 75th Anniversary). Players who can’t get enough of the game can also look forward to more add-on content, including the Arrow pack and two others, to be released at a later date.
The handheld version of LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham includes more than 100 characters from the DC Comics universe and 45 missions spanning an original storyline focused on dynamic, fast-paced gameplay.

Love the Marvel superhero movies, but aren’t sure if they’re family friendly enough for your little ones? This holiday season, Disney’s got the perfect solution for you– Big Hero 6!
Based on the Marvel comic book series of the same title, Big Hero 6 is the latest Disney animated film from the creative team behind hits like Tangled, Wreck-it-Ralph, and last year’s instant classic Frozen. It follows fourteen-year-old robotics prodigy Hiro Hamada and his friend Baymax, a personal healthcare robot designed by Hiro’s brother Tadashi. When a supervillain steals Hiro’s invention, mind-controlled nanobots called Microbots, it’s up to Hiro, Baymax, and their friends (Wasabi, Honey Lemon, GoGo Tomago, and Fred) to band together as the Big Hero 6, stop him, and get the Microbots back!
This movie combines classic Disney storytelling, animation, and heart with all the action and adventure that Marvel superhero flicks consistently bring to the table for a blend of the best of both worlds– and it works amazingly well! The movie delivers on pulse-pounding fight scenes and heart-wrenching emotional moments alike. It doesn’t disappoint fans of either studio’s work (and in fact, both sides of the film’s pedigree help each other to flourish rather well.) Big Hero 6 is a joy for kids and adults alike, and with ubiquitous toys and video game tie-ins (particularly the awesome Hiro and Baymax figures for Disney Infinity 2.0), expect Big Hero 6 to be a big hit this holiday season!
Big Hero 6 is rated PG for action and peril, some rude humor, and thematic elements. You and your family can check it out in theaters starting today!
