Crime-Fighting Comic Apps

The 'LEGO Super Hero Movie Maker' Gives You Directing Power

— April 22, 2012 — Marketing
The Dark Knight Rises movie release is just around the corner, and avid fans might not be able to take the tension, so the 'LEGO Super Hero Movie Maker' smartphone app was created.

This app is available for free in the iTunes store, and allows users to become feature film directors. By taking on the LEGO pieced heroes as their super hero actors, users can develop their own crime-fighting movies. LEGO has made this possible by partnering with Warner Brothers Consumer Products/DC Entertainment, and no partnership can be better-suited for the making of these crime-fighting apps. The Avengers movie is also just around the corner, so all comic book fans will find that this app is the perfect way to get a taste of what's to come.

3. Comic Book Movie Apps - With the release of blockbuster movies like The Dark Knight Rises and The Avengers, apps like 'LEGO Super Hero Movie Maker' provide a preview and allow fans to get a taste of what's to come.
