This time other characters, such as Cyborg, The Joker, and Lex Luthor, will also be able to take advantage of costume changes.^[5] Other changes to the suits' mechanic include the ability to upgrade certain suits over the course of the game as well as the need for players to power certain suits, such as powering Batman's space suit with fuel canisters picked up in levels.^[6] Various characters, such as Killer Croc and Solomon Grundy, will also be represented in big figs, similar to characters in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes.^[7] Virtual mini-games will be accesible via the Bat-computer including fights, mazes, and races.^[8] Minifigure and vehicle customization will be features in the game.^[9]
