High above the crime-ridden streets of Gotham City, a spotlight beckons the Caped Crusader. It’s an irresistible symbol for a man who lives to vanquish evildoers, and the latest game bearing his name makes a similar siren call. Eye-catching visual design and clever jokes draw in those who idolize Batman, and the collect-’em-all nature of the levels serves to keep you invested for hours. But problems–both new to this adventure and series staples–bubble just below the surface, making Batman’s latest attempt to thwart his masked villains feel sloppy. As endearing as Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes can be, this flawed sequel fails to live up to the Dark Knight’s high standards.
Spanish international defender Joan Capdevila scored a brace as nine-men Villarreal twice came from behind to defeat Getafe 3-2 at El Madrigal on Sunday and continue their surge up the table after the worst start in their history.
Capdevila s international team-mate Santi Cazorla had equalised with a superb volley before Capdevila scored the winner with three minutes remaining to sink Getafe and move into mid-table as Villarreal atone for their nightmare start.
A superb first-time volley from Pedro Leon, who seems to specialise in great goals, gave Getafe a third-minute lead before Capdevila, who scores lots of goals for a left back, equalised on 17 minutes.
Minutes into the second half Cani was sent off for conceding a penalty and Villarreal goalkeeper Diego Lo…

With Thierry Henry taking coaching sessions for Arsenal s academy players, Arsene Wenger says the youngsters can benefit from his expertise.

Bryan Oviedo is relishing his return to the Costa Rica side as he prepares to end a near two-year absence from the national team when they host South Africa on Thursday.
The versatile Everton man has not played for Costa Rica since November 2013 due to a host of injury problems, including a broken leg that forced him to miss their stunning run to the quarter-finals of the 2014 World Cup, where they defeated the likes of Uruguay, Italy and Greece on the way to the last eight.
Costa Rica have not enjoyed much success since their exit from that tournament, with last month s 1-0 win over Uruguay serving as their first since beating the same opposition on penalties in another friendly in November 2014.
But Oviedo s return will be something to celebrate regardless o…
