The game has a Prologue and 6 Chapters — so 7 story sections in total. Each chapter focuses on a different part of Batman’s journey, from his early training days to taking on Gotham’s most dangerous villains. The structure feels familiar if you have played other LEGO games, but the villain lineup keeps things fresh from start to finish.

Tumbler Chase – No collectibles
Arkham Asylum – No collectibles

Chapter 6 – The Dark Knight Returns

The final chapter closes the loop on the League of Shadows storyline that started in the Prologue. The League of Shadows Returns mission contains collectibles, and The Dark Knight Returns wraps up the campaign in style.

All Collectible Types Explained

There are three main collectible types that matter for 100% completion. Here is what each one does.

Themed Collectibles (Batcave Trophies): These are the unique themed items like Surfboards, Bonsai Trees, Disco Balls, and Cakes. Collecting all five in a mission unlocks a decorative model you can display in the Batcave. There are 70 total across the game.
WayneTech Caches: These grant ability points you can use to upgrade your characters. There are 14 total across the game and they only appear in select missions. You should try to grab these during your first run since they make later chapters noticeably easier.
Red Bricks: One per mission that has collectibles. There are 14 total. Each Red Brick unlocks a new suit customisation colour for all characters. Some are hidden behind environmental puzzles, so take your time.

For help tracking everything down, check out our guides on New Beginnings Surfboard Locations and Infiltration Bonsai Tree Locations.

Can You Replay Missions to Get Missed Collectibles?

Yes. If you miss something during your first run, you do not have to start over. You can head back to the Batcomputer in the Batcave and replay any mission at any time. This is handy for picking up collectibles you skipped or simply revisiting a favourite mission. Learn exactly how to replay missions in LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight with our step-by-step guide.

How Long Does It Take to Complete All Missions?

If you just want to finish the main story, expect around 13 hours of playtime. If you collect side activities alongside the campaign, that stretches to 16 to 20 hours. For full 100% completion with every collectible found, completionists should budget close to 50 hours in Gotham.

Tips for Tackling Every Chapter

Grab WayneTech Caches first. They upgrade your abilities and make combat easier as the chapters get harder. See Chapter 1 missions like Carmine Falcone and The Red Hood Gang first.
Use the replay system. Do not stress if you miss something. The Batcomputer replay feature means nothing is truly missable.
Unlock suits early. Some collectibles and areas require specific suit abilities. Our full suits guide shows you what to unlock first.
Farm studs between missions. Open-world Gotham is great for building up your stud count. Check out our infinite studs guide if you want to get rich fast.
Play co-op if you can. Puzzles and collectible hunts are easier with two players. Read our co-op guide to get started.
