Avoid the green goo on the floor and smash your way through the gate ahead, on the other side are some Joker goons. After you've taken out the ones that run up to you you'll want to throw a batarang at the ones shooting at you from afar. Also use your batarang to hit the glowing objects above them, this will knock down the platform and give you the bricks to build an Attract Suit Swapper for Robin.

Smash objects around the area to get the required 25 bricks for the Attracto Canister on the left. Filling that up will get you a vehicle that can suck up the toxic waste if you drive over it. Drive to the right over the large patch of goo to find some more Joker goons.

After defeating them smash the objects next to the tank at the far end so you reveal some bricks to build a couple of handholds. Jump up the handholds and grapple to the top. Build the Glide Suit Swapper and have Batman put it on. I'd recommend continuing to pick up the loose LEGO bricks as you go for later.

Jump down to the left to build a cap for the green steam being vented. Move along to the left to build a second cap and then glide over the next gap. Straight away you can build a tightrope to help Robin over.

Climb up the ladder and have both characters grab onto the little handholds to knock the large barrels free so they smash through the roof.

Jump down into the hole and beat up the goons inside before smashing through the gate on the left side.

Shove the crate along its path and off the end down onto the toxic waste below. Glide over to the left side to a second crate which you'll also need to push off. Glide down off this platform towards the screen to avoid the toxic waste and join the fight with the Joker goons.

Gather up enough loose LEGO to fill the Attracto Canister at the bottom of the staircase, this will build a large cannon that will fire some bombs at the door to blow it up. Now you can get back to the earlier section to drive the goo sucking machine again. Bring it inside to clear up the massive puddle of goo.

Now that the goo is gone you can assemble the bricks that fell out of the crates you pushed off the platforms. Pull both levers to go through the door to the next area.

Defeat the goons that attack, ignore the bullets coming from above. In Free Play you can blow up the Silver LEGO to build a ladder to get up to them.

Go up the steps on the right side to defeat a few more goons who didn't bother to join the fight. Push the two crates off the side and then go to the back and glide over to a third crate which you also need to push off. From the bricks they drop you can build a forklift.

Drive the forklift to the right and smash through some Silver LEGO barrels, this will give you the parts to build a ladder. You can also smash through some more Silver LEGO towards the screen to get the parts to finish off a second forklift.

Ignore the ladder for the moment, instead keep going to the right. Smash the objects in the path and build a small platform to stand on on the wall. This will turn off the green gas above.

Now Batman can go up the ladder and continue to the right, gliding over the gap and standing on another paddle to turn off the gas below. Jump down and beat up the goons.

Drive a forklift further to the right to smash through some more Silver LEGO barrels. They'll give up the bricks to a spinner switch which will won't immediately work. You'll first need to jump to the handhold at the back and jump over the goo to the left to assemble a nozzle above.

Now the spinner will work, push it to move the nozzle to the right before jumping back up the handhold and pulling the lever to fill the second pool with goo to make the platforms float. Jump over those newly floating platforms, down onto a black and yellow striped platform and then glide to the right onto some handholds. Pull the lever at the top to raise the bridge below.

Jump down to defeat the goons below and then drive a forklift over the newly raised bridge. Take it all the way to the right onto a large orange plate which will cause a platform to start moving.

Get onto the lift to ride it up to a few more goons.

Going to the right from the lift beat up the henchmen around the corner and go through the red tunnel.

Go right and use your batarang to hit the six glowing red canisters in the air. Build the Magnet Suit Swapper and put it on to walk up the metal on the right. Build the object and push it along the track.

Glide over the partially extended bridge and defeat the Joker henchmen on the other side. Assemble the LEGO bricks to finish the bridge so that Robin can get over as well.

At the right end walk up the metal and push on the spinner switch to open the garage door. Head through to face off against Mad Hatter.

Hit him a couple of times and he'll run off through a door. He should then appear in the upper area and stand on one of the two trapdoors at the front. Glitch warning: several times I have had it where he did not appear in the upper area after going through the doors. The only solution appears to be to restart the level, not a big problem if it happens in Free Play but very annoying in Story Mode.

Go to the right side of the area and Magnet walk up the metal. Stand on the catwalk to knock it down so that Batman can join you in standing on the dual buttons up here too. Doing so will drop the Mad Hatter into the toxic waste.

Mad Hatter will jump down, when you approach him you'll be stopped by his hypnotic powers. Immediately switch to the other character and quickly punch him while the first character is being mesmerised. Repeat for a second hit.

Now smash the green barrels near the entrance and repair the lift to ride it up. Stand on one of the two red circles and wait for your teammate to join you. Once you're both on there the left trapdoor will open and drop the Mad Hatter into the toxic waste below him. One simple hit will finish him off.

Advancing along the path to the right you'll encounter a few goons, take them out and keep going to the right.

Some more bad guys will jump down as you pass by the second stall. Smash the barrier on the door of the third stall to go inside and put on Batman's Demolition Suit. Yet more enemies will appear when you get past the third stall. Smash the pinwheels at the back.

Assemble the two Silver LEGO objects from the right of the two pinwheels between stalls three and four, then blow them up. That'll open the gate behind them so you can go through.

At the far right end of the first part of this area you'll be attacked by a load of enemies, take them out then smash the objects at the end along the water to build a spinner switch. Rotating that will raise up a metal path for Robin to Magnet Suit walk up, but we've got to find the Swapper first.

Put on Batman's Sonic Suit from the Swapper in the alley at the back and use it to smash the windows to the building to its left. After you've got rid of the enemies inside you'll be able to build the required Magnet Suit Swapper.

After walking up the metal wall build a grapple point so that you can jump back down and grapple up and over the fence. If you want to backtrack for some reason you can do so by building a tightrope on the piece sticking out into the water near the fence.

Defeat the enemies over here and then smash the tables and chairs that are directly in front of the Attracto Canister. Put on the Attract Suit and start gathering up all the loose LEGO lying around, there's enough to fill it a second time if you smash everything including the lampposts. Of course you only need to fill it once to progress.

Fill up the Attracto Canister and climb the ladder it creates for you.

Go to the right through to the next area where more goons will attack.

Clear out the enemies past the boat pond and smash the objects near the water's edge to build a spinner switch. That will open the door to the boss fight.

Time to face Harley Quinn, go through the gate to do so.

The trick to hitting Harley is to simply follow her as she tumbles, waiting until she gets tired. When she takes a break hit her. She'll jump over to the opposite side and you'll have to repeat for the second heart. After clearing out some Jack-in-the-boxes she'll jump back down and this time you have to follow her twice before she takes a break. Repeat that.

Defeat the two waves of enemies and then for the final part you need to follow Harley three times before she takes a break. Defeating her will finish the level.

Chapter 3. Flight of the Bat

The aim in the first section of this flight level is to gather some bombs to throw at the sign that the Scarecrow just knocked down to block your way (why can't you just fly over it?). The bombs are found in the yellow box on the building in the back left corner, shoot it and fly past the dispenser that appears to have a set of three bombs following you.

Fly over to the billboard and use one of the bombs to blow up the purple turret in front of it.

After you pass the billboard you'll see the Scarecrow fly off past a large Silver LEGO pipe which gets set on fire.

To get past that you must first blow up the turret on the railway bridge.

Between the two turrets at the back is a dispenser for the Batcopter to grab hold of a mine to start dragging it. You'll want to take it through the new gap in the bridge and swing it into the Silver LEGO pipe that's on fire.

After following the Scarecrow past the pipe you'll emerge in a new area, this one filled with objects and enemies. Using the Batcopter grab a mine from near the red square and blow up the Silver LEGO crate on the opposite side of the red square. This will reveal bombs for the Batwing to use to blow up the turrets sitting on the electric barrier.

Follow the Scarecrow's plane through to the final area.

How to take down Scarecrow's plane: using the Batcopter grapple the plane and then switch to the Batwing and use a targeted bomb to damage him while he's hooked. You can find the bombs at the far right end along the near edge. Do that three times to finish the level.

Chapter 4. In the Dark Night

Smash the objects beneath where Killer Moth was standing at first, you'll find the parts to bring the platform down and then you'll be able to add a handhold bar to jump up onto it and from there over the fence to the right.

Around the corner beat up some more goons as you follow Killer Moth all the way to the entrance to a building. He'll go inside and a Silver LEGO van will park in front blocking the way. Defeat the goons and then go to the left of the entrance to an alley and smash everything there. Build a fan out of the remains and pull the lever you've uncovered on the right to switch it on.

Follow the ledge around the front then jump over the gap and then smash all the stuff in the building behind the elevator. Eventually you'll get all the parts to build a spinner switch. Have Robin push the spinner around so that Batman can get up to the Demolition Suit Swapper above.

Follow Killer Moth inside by blowing up the van at the entrance.

Once inside defeat the goons and then smash the objects on the left side of the right bar to get the parts to half a tightrope. Next go smash the objects near the door, including the spotlights above it. You'll get the parts to build a grapple that you can use to get up on top of the bar. Once you're up there you can build the second part for the tightrope.

Cross the tightrope to the top of the second bar and use explosives to blow up the two sets of four blue lights. That will rain down the parts to fix the checkered floor so that you can push the object along its path.

Smash the objects near the second pushable object to get the parts to finish it off. You'll then be able to push it along its path as well. Once both are in position you can pull on their levers to open the lift door.

Defeat the enemies and then blow up the Silver LEGO crate on the dance floor to build a disco ball. Also blow up the large Silver statue at the far right end to build a Technology Suit Swapper. Assemble the two speakers either side of where the statue was and then step onto the dance floor to solve a little puzzle. Simply stand on the lit up squares one by one, waiting for your partner to stand on the other one. Puzzle solved!

Once the robot has appeared you'll be able to use the Tech Panel at the back to control it. Use it to smash the multi-coloured wall at the back of the room so you can move on.

Jump down off the ledge and beat up the bad guys.

Smash the glowing objects on the right just before the toxic waste, from the debris you can build a Magnet Suit Swapper for Robin to put on. Follow the path of studs to the metal wall at the back of the toxic waste to walk over to the other side, I'd recommend using your batarang to hit the goons on the other side of it first though to avoid getting shot at the whole time.

Once you're on the far side of the goo smash the dumpster and assemble the pump to get rid of all the toxic waste. Blow up the Silver LEGO now that Batman can come over to build another metal wall for Robin to walk up.

Go to the right and walk across the tightrope, pull the lever to lower the ladder so that Batman can get up and blow up the Silver LEGO fence blocking the way.

Behind the fence smash everything, including the objects high up on the wall, and you'll be able to complete the water cannon. Have both characters stand on it to put out the fire in the street below.

Jump down and blow up the Silver LEGO barricade to get to a whole load of goons waiting on the other side.

Go up the steps and head inside to face off against Killer Moth.

Give him a couple of whacks and then blow up the Silver LEGO on the left side of the area. Rebuild the engine and then defeat the large number of goons that appear. After clearing them out use the Tech Panel on the engine and hold down the action button to get it running. This will power up the switches below Killer Moth. Pull them both to light up the giant bulb.

Once he's back on the floor give him another couple of punches before you fix the second engine. Defeat the goons that appear and then go into the room on the right where there's a Demolition Suit Swapper. Push the object along its path and the engine's Tech Panel will light up. Fully power the engine and then pull both switches to finish the level.

Don't bother attacking the four enemies that the police are battling with at the front of the church, they'll just keep reappearing. Behind the two police vans that have turrets on them are some objects to smash, from the remains you can build a Demolition Suit Swapper for Batman to wear.

Go past the police to the opposite side of the area.

Jump up the handhold at the back and blow up the Silver LEGO grate blocking the Magnet Suit Swapper for Robin to wear.

Now head back to the left side of the area.

You'd think that the toppled over Silver LEGO gargoyle on the floor at the back would be the third part but it isn't, instead it gives you bricks to build a metal wall that Robin can walk up. Make sure to push the statue along its path to the right before you do that though.

Use the moved statue to jump over to the right to push on the spinner switch. This will open the windows of the church and Harley Quinn will appear.

Jump down and head over to the police vans to hop into their turrets. Shoot Harley with the water cannon once and quickly jump out to avoid taking damage when she blows it up. You can defeat the four goons now by the way, they'll no longer respawn.

Jump into the second turret and hit her again. Once that one's blown up too you can assemble a new turret in the middle. Shoot her one more time so that she retreats back into the church and knocks down some LEGO for you.

Build the fan to get up to where Harley was.

That's everything out here so time to follow Harley into the church.

Go to the right where Harley is standing, she'll jump away. To follow her you need to smash the Jack-in-the-box and then assemble a switch on the wall behind it. That will lower the statue on the right so you can cross over to where Harley is currently standing.

Of course she'll jump away again, this time up to the top of a spiral staircase. Smash the objects in the way as you follow her up there and then build a metal wall once you reach her newly vacated location.

The lever up top will move a chandelier into position so that Batman can cross the gap to get to Harley again.

If you go to the top of the little set of stairs after the chandelier you'll find a Glide Suit Swapper for Batman to put on. He'll need it right away, climb up the ladder and glide over the gap to where there's a spinner switch. Rotate it to help Robin get across.

Have Batman stand on the button while Robin walks up the metal wall at the end so he can use the lowered statue to get across to where he can build a grapple point for Batman to get up. Now just go to the right and pull both levers to open the door to the boss fight.

Harley and the Joker will both jump into bells so you're not directly under attack straight away.

Go down the steps on the left side and build a LEGO anvil, this will raise up a grapple point from which you can then glide over to the right where there's a handhold to assemble.

Have both characters stand on the orange buttons here to hammer the bell so that Harley jumps out. Time for the opposite side of the room. Fix the path and push the statue along it.

Next go down the steps and magnet walk up the metal wall. At the top build the handholds for Batman to get up before you jump over to ring The Joker's bell as well.

To take on the Joker's Helicopter you must wait for it to fly off and then assemble one of the turrets. Keep moving away if it's taking too long to avoid getting hit. Once it's built hop in and shoot the helicopter when it comes back. You only need to build the second turret if you're playing co-op, otherwise just keep shooting it when it reappears until all its hearts are gone.

To finish off the level you must now face The Joker in hand to hand combat. Punch him three times then run over to where he jumps to, your character will start to get zapped so switch to the second character and hit the Joker quickly. Repeat those two steps a couple of times to finish the level.
