Big gates

Big gates are an obstacle found in the console versions of Lego Batman 2:DC superheroes , with a structure with a similar ability in the console versions of Lego Batman 3:Beyond Gotham. In lego Batman 2, Big gates are rectangle-shaped doors, with three yellow lights, and are always seen blocking off a bridge. One is found blocking Gotham central, requiring batman’s electricity suit to deactivate it, after level 4 is completed, and three more are found blocking all three bridges leading to gotham south, requiring Superman to destroy the locks nearby using heat vision, after level 10.The gates blocking Gotham south can be broken starting from level 8, but are not mandatory until level 10 is completed. A smaller version, with no lights, is also seen blocking Gotham Funland’s parking lot, which can be opened by destroying the nearby statues with the batmobile after level 2. They also appear in the background of levels 6 and 13 in their opened state. Only 4(5 if counting the one blocking Gotham funland entrance) are in Gotham City, thus, only 5 appear in the game. In lego Batman 3, while big Gates themselves don’t appear, a similar obstacle with the same ability, the slideways teleporter, appears instead. They keep the same purpose, but their design is changed significantly. They no longer have lights, are shaped more like circles, resemble doors more than gates, and now sport dimensional portals. Only 11 of them appear in the game, leading to the lantern plants, the batcave, the moon, the hall of justice, and the watchtower. They don’t have a specific item nearby needed to be powered or destroyed to open it, and just need to be rebuilt in order to open. As mentioned before, big gates and slideways teleporters are only present in the console versions of both games, and do not appear at all in the handheld or mobile versions.
