Recommendation: meh 4.7 / 5 from 144 reviews

Little man wanted this book from BAM! but it was over $20.I purchased this for him and he loves it. It has all of the DC super heroes along with a few characters I have not heard of but he and hubby seemed to know. It even came with a little lego guy. The best part is it tells you all about each character and even gives a lot of hints and facts about each one. I had no idea there were so many DC characters. If your kid is like mine and loves to read and loves the LEGO series games and movies then get him this book. Not only are you saving money but you look like a superhero because you bought them exactly what they wanted even if they didn't know they wanted this book. Trust me they want this book!

Recommendation: meh 4.5 / 5 by Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Overall the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Character Encyclopedia is a decent book with lots of information. If you have the LEGO Batman: Visual Dictionary, this book takes it a couple of steps further and includes every other DC sets and characters that have been released.

Recommendation: meh 4 / 5 by Jay

For younger kids, this book really shines as you get plenty of mileage with the character trivia, gorgeous photos and the free minifig is also a very nice inclusion. Super hero-crazy kids are going to love this book, and I also think it'd make a great tool to get kids to read and improve their vocabulary. There aren't any interactive games, but parents can quiz their kids on LEGO DC Comics trivia from the book.

All in all, if you like LEGO DC Comics Superheroes, or DC Comics in general, then I would say that this book is a nice addition to any collection. Is it a must have? For me, it was. I was looking forward to it ever since I first read it was coming out. It is not organized very well, but it is visually appealing and enjoyable to flip through. Finally, and most importantly, it comes with Pirate Batman.
