Batman

Batman is the mysterious protector of Gotham City and the main protagonist of the LEGO Batman series. He fights notorious super-criminals together with his trusty sidekick Robin and the Justice League.
==Character Backstory==
Bruce Wayne was born into the Wayne family. He had a happy childhood until a mugger named Joe Chill shot and killed his parents Thomas and Martha in a dark alley later to be known as Crime Alley. He was raised by Wayne's butler Alfred Thaddeus Crane Pennyworth and trained himself in all possible ways and embraced the mantle of Batman, the Caped Crusader of Gotham City and started a long life of crime-fighting.
Eventually, Batman adopted a young orphaned circus acrobat called Dick Grayson and trained Grayson, now called Robin in fighting crime. He also founded a partnership with Jim Gordon's daughter, Barbara. Grayson grew out of his Robin persona and left Batman's watch to become Nightwing and began fighting crime apart from Batman. Batman later let another young boy called Tim Drake to take over the mantle of Robin. After Tim Drake left, he then again got another boy to take over the mantle of Robin: Damian Wayne. Batman also struck up a partnership with the Justice League.

In the first LEGO Batman game, Batman serves as the primary protagonist (being the titular character) during the heroes' story campaign. Batman, like his sidekick Robin, can make use of his Batarangs which allow the player to aim at and hit far away objects and enemies. He can also use special stations located around levels and in the Batcave to change suits, allowing the player to solve puzzles and reach otherwise inaccessible areas:
* Glide Suit, which allows Batman to glide in the air for a slower descent and long jump distance.
* Sonic Suit, which allows Batman to shatter glass objects, mainly windows, to access blocked-off areas.
* Demolition Suit, which allows Batman to plant bombs that can destroy shiny silver objects to access hidden items or areas.
* Heat Protection Suit, which allows Batman to touch glowing-red LEGO pieces and environments as well as build using these pieces.
Batman's alternate identity, Bruce Wayne, is also playable and can be unlocked using studs after completing any hero story level. He uses a briefcase as his weapon and does not have any of the previously mentioned abilities associated with Batman.
=== Nintendo DS Version ===
Batman's story in the Nintendo DS version is the same as the other version of the game. In this game, he has 3 suits:
* Glide Suit, which allows Batman to glide in the air for a slower descent and long jump distance.
* Demolition Suit, which allows Batman to plant bombs that can destroy shiny silver objects to access hidden items or areas.
* Cold Suit, which allows Batman to enter and survive in sub-zero environments. This replaces both the Heat Protection Suit and the Sonic Suit.

In LEGO Batman 2, Batman is once again the main protagonist, trying to stop the evil plot of The Joker and Lex Luthor to brainwash Gotham, alongside his sidekick Robin and the Justice League. Batman can once again use his batarangs, and he can use 4 new suits to solve puzzles and gain access to hidden areas:
* Sensor Suit: which allows Batman to turn invisible and use X-Ray vision to solve puzzles
* Power Suit: which gives Batman super-strength and lets him shoot rockets to destroy silver objects
* Bat Suit: which allows Batman to glide in the air and shatter glass objects
* Electricity Suit: which allows Batman to walk through electrified areas and take electricity from special switches, giving power to empty switches.
=== Handheld Version ===
In the handheld version of the game, Batman's story is the same. He has 3 suits in this game; the Bat Suit was omitted and the normal version of Batman can glide.
* Sensor Suit: which allows Batman to turn invisible and use X-Ray vision to solve puzzles
* Power Suit: which gives Batman super-strength and lets him shoot rockets to destroy silver objects
* Electricity Suit: which allows Batman to walk through electrified areas and take electricity from special switches, giving power to empty switches.
== In ==
In LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham, Batman is the main protagonist and teams up with his sidekick Robin and the Justice League to stop Brainiac from shrinking the Earth. He has 7 suits in this game:
* Sensor Suit: which allows Batman to turn invisible, use X-Ray vision and sense for objects to solve puzzles
* Power Suit: which lets him shoot rockets to destroy silver objects
* Sonar Suit: which allows Batman to glide in the air and shatter glass objects
* Space Suit: which lets Batman fly temporarily and destroy gold objects

In DC Super-Villains, Batman is absent for most of the story along with his allies in the Justice League, and he returns near the end of the game and makes a few playable appearances in the story, including in the final level. He is also a main character in the Justice League post-game storyline, once again alongside his superhero companions. In this game, Batman does not have any special suits to change into, however he can now glide in the air without the need for his Glide Suit. He can also destroy silver objects without a demolition/power suit, hit targets, sense and turn invisible without a sensor suit, illuminate dark areas, track, use technology panels, is agile, is allowed past security windows, and can summon a bat-drone to control and fit into special doors to solve puzzles and destroy glass.
== Physical Appearance ==
In LEGO Batman: The Videogame, Batman wears his classic black cowl which conceals his upper face, with his eyes being covered by white. He wears a gray bodysuit with the bat emblem on its chest, as well as a yellow utility belt, black gloves, and footwear that matches his bodysuit, with a black body-length cape with scalloped edges.
In LEGO Batman 2: DC Superheroes, Batman's bodysuit, and footwear are now black, rather than a dark gray. The bat emblem is also changed to be surrounded by a yellow oval. His muscle definition is now shown using gray, rather than black.
In LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham, Batman's bodysuit returns to its original dark gray color, as well as the bat emblem no longer being surrounded. Batman's muscles are much more well-defined, with a light-gray being used to show shading. The 'ears' on his cowl are also noticeably shorter.
In LEGO DC Super-Villains, Batman receives a slight update. His face now features beard stubble, and his suit is a lighter gray, with a slightly different bat emblem, utility belt, and muscle imprint.
