Summary

Lego DC Super-Villains is a Lego-themed action-adventure platform video game developed by Traveller's Tales. The fourth installment in the Lego Batman series of games, it is a spin-off that focuses entirely on villains of the DC Universe; it is the first in the series to do so since the villain levels from Lego Batman: The Videogame. While the core gameplay follows the same style as past Lego titles, including the addition of a two-player cooperative multiplayer mode, DC Super-Villains is the first title to incorporate a customized character into the story.

Storyline

In a blocky, comedic take on the DC Universe, the spotlight falls not on the heroes but on its most notorious villains. When the Justice League mysteriously disappears, a new team of caped crusaders called the Justice Syndicate arrives to fill the void, claiming to be Earth's noble new protectors. But the world's rogues, from Lex Luthor and the Joker to Harley Quinn and beyond, smell something rotten behind the Syndicate's heroic grins. Into this chaos steps the Rookie, a mysterious newcomer with a rare gift for absorbing powers and a look, name, and abilities shaped entirely by the player. Reluctantly banding together, this ragtag Legion of misfits sets out to expose the impostors and seize the chance to rule an unprotected Earth for themselves. Traveling from Gotham and Metropolis to far stranger corners of the cosmos, the villains scheme, squabble, and double-cross their way through an outrageous, self-aware adventure.
