LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes is an action game and the sequel to LEGO Batman: The Videogame . It draws elements from the Batman universe but built entirely in LEGO-style bricks. It starts when a "Man of the Year" award ceremony in Gotham City is interrupted by the Joker and a gang of bandits. Bruce Wayne is a candidate for the award and changes into Batman to pursue them, teaming up with members of the Justice League.
The game has an open-world concept with gameplay similar to its predecessor. It can be played as a classic Batman character or other various DC Comics superheroes, such as Superman, Green Lantern, Robin, Batgirl, The Flash and Wonder Woman. New suits have been added, including Batman's Power Suit and Robin's Acrobat Suit, which offers new abilities. The game features an original story with voice acting for the first time and 15 levels to explore in a completely explorable open-world Gotham City. Players can also play cooperatively through a split-screen mode.
