10 BEST Lego Batman Bosses
Scarecrow
“Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes” (2012)
Earlygame bosses aren’t typically the most memorable on account of them being super easy to defeat. Or because they don’t really force the player to engage with a ton of mechanics. But the Scarecrow boss fight in “Lego Batman 2” is memorable for its presentation and inspiration. The hallucinations alone show how TT Games may have borrowed some ideas from the “Batman: Arkham” games at the time. If only they did more things with Scarecrow later in the game instead of lumping him in with the other villains for more generic battles.
The Joker and Harley Quinn
“Lego Batman: The Videogame” (2008)
Okay, we’re pretty much putting this “boss fight” (if you can call it that) on here for the sake of nostalgia. Otherwise, it is just a simple puzzle room with not much of a focus on fighting the Joker nor Harley. However, we like the idea on display here as it pays tribute to the climactic end of the 1989 “Batman” movie where the Dark Knight and the Clown Prince of Crime go toe-to-toe in Gotham City’s clock tower. Our only gripe is that we wish it was a little more action-packed like some of the other bosses like Mr. Freeze or Poison Ivy.
The Penguin
“Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight” (2026)
It was interesting to see how “Legacy of the Dark Knight” blended two different Penguin renditions into a single character. The “Batman Returns” side that we see in his boss fight is the best. Just the concept we see here is super cool as Penguin charges at the Bat and the Cat with a motorized duckie. Cobblepot even comes packing with a wide range of attacks from missiles to normal gunfire to his own “maximum overdrive” charge. Overall, it’s a really fun boss fight that any Lego fan and Batman fan will love.
Batman
“Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham” (2014)
Though the idea of fighting a giant Dark Knight isn’t anything super new, the way “Beyond Gotham” did it felt original and charming. For starters, the music had to have been heavily inspired by the Tim Burton movies with how it utilizes the tones of the music from those films and mixes it with climactic, choir-driven melodies. In concept, there’s something amusing about Robin and Alfred using spotlights to fight a deranged, colossal Batman. We only wish he did other things than just smash his fists and breathe bats.
Beast Boy & Raven
“Lego DC Super Villains” (2018)
It almost feels weird to be putting a team of heroes on this sort of list, but fighting two of the Teen Titans was one of the coolest moments in “Lego DC Super Villains”. Raven traps you and your co-op partner in a small arena with Beast Boy, and you’ll need some cunning and wit to avoid his vicious attacks. While the fight is cut somewhat short, it was a treat hearing Greg Cipes and Tara Strong play the duo once again. If only this fight had served as a tease for a “Lego Teen Titans” video game. Alas, one can only dream.
Atrocitus the Butcher
“Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham” (2014)
With their rage channeled into unmitigated power, one would not dare cross paths with a member of the Red Lantern Corps. Surprisingly, this may be one of the toughest fights in the game as Atrocitus does not hold back. His ranged attacks and bull charges happen with little room to react, so you may end up losing a handful of studs on your first attempt. But once you get into the same exact process on the second or third cycle, you should be okay. Had there been a little more diversity in Atrocitus’s attacks, maybe this could have been the best boss fight in “Beyond Gotham”.
Two-Face & Riddler
“Lego Batman: The Videogame” (2008)
Though it's a tad weird calling this a boss fight since Two-Face spends the entire level running away, this whole portion of the game was still really cool. The chase with Harvey Dent had a lot of neat puzzles and objects to build like the room filled with acid. The vault itself was admittedly the least interesting part, but there was something fun about destroying all of the gold bars and getting hit with massive bursts of studs. Something tells us this fight could have been strengthened had the Riddler made use of that mech from his portion of the villain campaign.
Darkseid
“Lego DC Super Villains” (2018)
With his twisted laser beams, any fight against Darkseid can be enjoyed just for the visual spectacle. Thing is that you can’t just sit back and watch the fireworks until he’s dead. Darkseid is admittedly a bit of a challenge if you’re trying to avoid losing studs. While floor panels can release massive pools of fire, the Lord of Apokolips can rain down meteors upon you which can take up quite a bit of room in an already small area. So long as you’re attentive, you shouldn’t have too much trouble, but overall, you’ll likely find this fight to be a fun conclusion to an already stellar “Lego” game.
The Joker and Lex Luthor
“Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham” (2014)
In all honesty, this one may not impress most players as it is more heavy on combat than building things or solving a puzzle. You’ll spend a lot of time fighting Joker’s thugs and Lexbots before the corrupt billionaire himself tries to take on the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight. Meanwhile, Joker blares some party music until he decides to join in on the brawl. It’s the best boss fight just for its novelty and vibes, and we wish it went on for a little while longer before ending abruptly. Come on, we couldn’t do more than just “disable Lex’s mechsuit”?
Bane
“Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight” (2026)
Call it recency bias if you want, but “Legacy of the Dark Knight” gave us the best boss fight in “Lego Batman” history. Yes, we could say that it’s for the simple fact that Matt Berry voices Bane and delivers a hilarious performance. However, this really was an exciting boss fight. Taking place in two arenas with some amusing dialogue in between, this really should have been the final boss. Talia was cool and all, but Bane was the real closer here. Maybe we have a bit of favoritism because of all of those prank phone calls we got throughout the course of the game.
