LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight has arrived on contemporary platforms, and recent side-by-side footage highlights how the Nintendo Switch 2 edition compares to the PlayStation 5 version.
The game, released worldwide, brings a full LEGO-style retelling of Batman’s origin alongside an open Gotham City and a wide selection of suits, characters and vehicles.
Technical comparison: image quality and performance
A new graphics comparison shows clear differences in resolution and frame-rate targets between platforms.
The Nintendo Switch 2 build runs at a dynamic 1080p resolution and targets 30 frames per second.
By contrast, the PlayStation 5 version can reach up to 4K resolution and runs at up to 60 frames per second on compatible displays.
Those parameters reflect typical platform positioning: Nintendo’s hardware prioritizes portability and power-efficiency, while the PS5 version takes advantage of the console’s higher GPU output for added fidelity and smoother frame pacing.
What’s included in the base game
The full base game includes a complete main story that traces Bruce Wayne’s journey from origin to legend.
Players experience Batman’s training with the League of Shadows, his rise as Gotham’s protector, and the formation of an allied team that includes Jim Gordon, Catwoman, Robin, Nightwing, and Batgirl.
Antagonists drawn from Batman’s rogues gallery—such as the Joker, the Penguin, Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy and Bane—appear across missions and set-piece encounters.
Playable roster and collectibles
The release features seven playable characters—Batman, Jim Gordon, Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl, Catwoman and Talia al Ghul—each offering distinct skills and gadgets.
The game also includes 100 playable suits inspired by Batman’s 86-year legacy, more than 20 vehicles including multiple Batmobiles and Batcycles (notably the Tumbler) and over 250 Batcave props and trophies for customization and completionists.
Availability and media
LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is available worldwide on supported platforms.
A new trailer and a graphics comparison video have been published alongside the release, providing visual reference for players deciding between platforms.
For players focused on raw visual fidelity and performance on a large-screen setup, the PS5 version presents higher-resolution and higher-frame-rate potential.
For those prioritizing portability with improved visuals over previous handheld generations, the Nintendo Switch 2 edition delivers a dynamic 1080p experience at 30 FPS while preserving the complete base game content.
