Standard has the full campaign; Deluxe adds three available themed packs and the September 18 Mayhem Collection.
LEGO Batman Standard costs $69.99 and includes the complete main campaign. Deluxe costs $89.99 and adds the Legacy Collection plus the September 18 Mayhem Collection. A $24.99 Deluxe Upgrade lets Standard owners add that content later, though buying Deluxe from the start is $4.99 cheaper than buying Standard and then the upgrade at listed US prices.
Base game versus Deluxe
| Content | Standard | Deluxe / upgrade |
|---|---|---|
| Main story campaign | Yes | Yes |
| Seven core playable characters | Yes | Yes |
| 100 suits and outfits | Yes | Yes |
| More than 20 vehicles | Yes | Yes |
| More than 250 Batcave items | Yes | Yes |
| Arkham Trilogy Pack | No | Yes |
| Batman Beyond Pack | No | Yes |
| Party Music Pack | No | Yes |
| Mayhem Collection | No | Yes, September 18 |
Each of the three available Legacy Collection packs contains seven themed character outfits, five Batcave items, and one Batmobile. The themes are the Arkham Trilogy, Batman Beyond, and Party Music. These packs broaden customization; they do not replace or extend the main Bruce Wayne campaign.
What the Mayhem Collection changes
Mayhem is the substantial gameplay addition. It makes Joker and Harley Quinn playable with distinct abilities, gadgets, and takedowns. It also adds Mayhem Mode, one story mission in which the pair escape Arkham Asylum, and the Sinister Pack of seven suits, five Batcave items, and one Batmobile.
That makes Deluxe easier to justify for a player who specifically wants Joker, Harley, or the extra mission. A player focused on the core campaign and local co-op can start with Standard and decide later.
The simple buying rule
- Buy Standard if the complete base story and seven heroes are enough.
- Buy Deluxe if you already want Joker, Harley, themed outfits, vehicles, and the extra mission.
- Buy the upgrade later if you are uncertain and accept paying $4.99 more at the current separate prices.
Prices and availability can vary by region and storefront. The figures here are the official US prices checked on August 26.
