From Wiki

The game will star Batman and his sidekick Robin fighting crime and villainy in Gotham City. An early build for the PlayStation 2 console was shown at certain conferences (such as at Game On in London) by TT Games Publishing's Head of Production Jonathan Smith, with a small playable area sporting the exact same HUD as Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy. Characters onscreen each have individual animations and both Batman and Robin have their animated TV show dressing style. There will be 36 true levels in the game (18 for the heroes and 18 for the villains), as well as some secret levels. After you play through the level from the heroes' perspective, you will unlock the level from the villains' perspective. A similar grappling system to the one used in Lego Star Wars II will be used. The style of the game will focus more on the comics and Batman: The Animated Series rather than the new movies. However Danny Elfman's score from Batman will be used as music.
Batman, Robin, the Joker, Catwoman, and the Penguin will be some of the playable characters. Two levels involving Batman and Robin chasing Catwoman with a diamond, and a level where Joker and Harley Quinn are in a theme park level, ending with a boss battle against Commissioner James Gordon, have already been tested. Also, in the trailer, there is footage of a player swapping characters, and a version of Robin with scuba gear and another with magna-shoes on are shown as playable characters, and if you look closely during the swapping, you'll also see Batman in his old blue and yellow costume (Unlike his usual grey). The hub that houses all levels, similar to those in Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga and Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures, will be the Batcave for the heroes and Arkham Asylum for the villains. New moves featured in Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures will be added, such as swimming underwater, seen in a gameplay trailer, the ability to pick up and carry enemies and to be able to tightrope over the city. X-Play got an exclusive interview with Johnathon Smith in mid July in which he showed the gameplay mechanics in more detail.
Promotionally, five short gameplay trailers have been released, one featuring Catwoman and the Riddler. Another one features Two-Face and the Scarecrow. The third features the Joker and Harley Quinn. Another has Nightwing alongside Batman. On that same day, Clayface became the first revealed character to make it into the game who wasn't part of the Lego Batman franchise already. A fifth trailer aired in early July which featured Bruce Wayne and Poison Ivy. Characters rumored to be in the game due to their heavy presence in the Batman franchise include Alfred Pennyworth, Batgirl, and Lucius Fox for the heroes and Ra's al Ghul, the Mad Hatter, and Ventriloquist for the villains. Developer Jonathan Smith stated that the company will be developing more Lego games in the foreseeable future.^[3]
Collectibles in this game which are known so far are studs and what appears to be a black and grey version of the mini-kit canisters from Lego Star Wars (as seen in the Nightwing trailer) called Shadow LEGO,^{[citation needed]} plus the regular white canisters can be seen in some screenshots.
Many interviews with producer Loz Doyle have been able to find out that both the main characters will have suits which can be changed at a point marked with either a Batman or Robin pad. Also the characters are said to have many different weapons and abilities such as the Joker being able to attack enemies and activate machines with a hand buzzer, the Penguin being able to glide over gaps with his umbrella and the Riddler being able to decapitate enemies with his Riddle Staff. Loz also mentioned girl characters like Catwoman, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy being able to sneak past enemies with their charm, however this was in the early stages of development and may be removed in the final product.
