Gameplay
Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is an action-adventure game played from a third-person perspective, alternating between various action-adventure sequences and puzzle-solving scenarios. [1] The game can be played solo, or with another player through local multiplayer. [2] DC Comics president Jim Lee described Legacy of the Dark Knight as "a love letter to the world of Batman", [3] with the game featuring an original story that incorporates different elements from various Batman-related media, [4] including films, television series, comic books, and other video games. [5] [6] For example, the character skins are taken from Batman comics and adaptations, with some of them based on the likeness of the actors who played the characters in live-action, such as Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman and Danny DeVito's Penguin from the film Batman Returns (1992), Heath Ledger's Joker and Tom Hardy's Bane from The Dark Knight trilogy, and Jeffrey Wright's Jim Gordon from the film The Batman (2022).

Unlike previous Lego video games, which allowed players to control hundreds of different characters, Legacy of the Dark Knight includes only seven playable characters: Batman, Jim Gordon, Batgirl, Nightwing, Robin, Catwoman, and Talia al Ghul, each possessing unique skills and gadgets. [9] [10] For example, Catwoman is able to use a whip as a weapon, while Gordon has a gun that sprays foam. [11] The game is set in an open-world Lego version of Gotham City, with players tasked with exploring the city and engaging in combat, which has been compared to that of the Batman: Arkham series. [1] [12] [13] Players can also customize the Batcave to display a variety of vehicles—such as the Batmobile and the Batcycle, among others—and Batsuits, as well as trophies and additional items that can be collected throughout the game.
