The player can freely explore Gotham City and unlock various characters within it, and some elements of Gotham City are broken into 'bricks', which the player can use to build new suits or construct objects that can help solve puzzles. The game is set primarily within Gotham City, although Metropolis is also visited as part of a mission.

The gameplay is similar to Lego Batman: The Videogame, and presented in the third-person perspective where the playable character is allowed access through the visible elements of the 3D space they are in, although some missions force the camera to be in a 2.5D perspective. Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes is an action-adventure open world game, and is in some ways similar to the Batman: Arkham series. A standalone sequel, Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham was released in November 2014, followed by a spin-off, Lego DC Super-Villains, in October 2018. A film adaptation was released on Blu-ray and DVD in May 2013 as a compilation of cutscenes from the game. The game received generally positive reviews for most platforms, and mixed reviews for the 3DS and Vita, and sold 3.4 million copies by March 2013. An OS X version of the game, published by Feral Interactive, was released in September 2012, followed by a Wii U version in May 2013. Lego Batman 2 was released worldwide for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, Nintendo 3DS, Wii, Nintendo DS, Microsoft Windows, iOS, and Android in June 2012. The game is the first in Traveller's Tales' Lego series to feature spoken dialogue and an open world. The player is able to complete various side missions within the fictional Gotham City to unlock characters and use them within missions once completed. The game is presented in a third-person perspective, with missions in the game showing an emphasis on exploration. As a result, the game's cast is larger than its predecessor and includes characters outside of the Batman series. The game's main storyline follows Batman, Robin and later Superman as they attempt to foil the Joker and Lex Luthor's plans to have the latter become president of the United States, joining forces with the Justice League along the way. The game is a standalone sequel to Lego Batman: The Videogame and the second installment in the Lego Batman series.

Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes is a 2012 Lego-themed action-adventure game developed by Traveller's Tales and published by Warner Bros.
