LEGO Batman: The Videogame

Important: Game may not include original DLC, bonus-content, online-pass, season-pass, or other digital redemption codes. Any included codes may have already been redeemed or expired.

An original LEGO adventure through Gotham

LEGO Batman: The Videogame tells its own Batman story instead of adapting a specific film. The Riddler, Penguin and Joker lead three groups of escaped Arkham villains, and Batman and Robin respond across Gotham. Finishing the three Hero episodes unlocks corresponding Villain episodes that show the same conflicts from the other side, giving both crime-fighting and criminal characters meaningful story play.

Fight, build and solve character-driven puzzles

Combat uses punches, throws and character-specific attacks, but progress also depends on exploring each scene. Smash LEGO objects into loose pieces, rebuild them into useful devices, target distant objects with the Batarang and use grappling points to reach new areas. Many puzzles require swapping between the two active characters because their abilities interact with different hazards and mechanisms.

Change suits to change what the team can do

Batman and Robin gain specialized suits during missions. Batman can glide, plant demolition charges or use sonic power against glass, while Robin can walk on magnetic surfaces, dive underwater, operate technology panels or vacuum loose pieces with the Attract Suit. Vehicles add separate driving sequences, and Villain characters bring their own gadgets and powers when their episodes open.

Collect studs, unlock Freeplay and revisit levels

The story is arranged as six episodes with five levels each. Collecting enough studs in a level earns Super Hero or Super Villain status, and studs can also purchase characters, hints, suit upgrades and optional in-game Extras at the Batcomputer. Completing a level opens it for Freeplay, where unlocked characters and abilities can reach collectibles and routes that the fixed story pair could not access the first time.

Solo play or local two-player cooperation

One player can switch between the active pair while the game controls the partner, or a second local player can join by pressing Plus on another Wii Remote. The Wii version uses the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, including pointer aiming for the Batarang and motion inputs for attacks. The accepted exact-release record supports one or two offline players and local co-op; no online mode is promised.
