Multiplayer & Modes — LEGO Batman Co-op Guide

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight features local co-op gameplay and multiple difficulty modes. Here’s everything you need to know.

Local Co-op

The game supports 2-player local split-screen co-op across all game modes. Players can freely switch between characters and combine abilities to solve puzzles.

Co-op Tips

• Combine Abilities — Some puzzles require specific character combinations (e.g., Batman’s Detective Vision + Robin’s hacking)
• Character Coordination — Assign roles: one player focuses on combat, the other on puzzle-solving
• Revive System — Downed players can be revived by their partner
• Shared Progress — All collectibles and progress count for both players
