LEGO® DC Super-Villains turns the usual superhero premise around: after the Justice League vanishes, a self-styled Justice Syndicate claims to protect Earth. Players join a band of misfits to investigate the newcomers’ intentions, alongside familiar antagonists including the Joker and Harley Quinn. Its comic-book setup makes the villains, rather than the absent heroes, the centre of an action-adventure story.
A defining feature is the player-created super-villain, who remains the player’s character throughout the game. The experience is described as an open-world journey in the DC universe, with mischievous antics and havoc woven into its story. That combination of a customizable lead, recognizable DC rogues and an expansive setting gives the game a distinct identity within the LEGO adventure format, without relying on a single established villain as its protagonist.
The listed play formats include single-player, multiplayer and co-op, with shared or split-screen co-op also supported.
