Locating Brainiac
Just walk forward to find the world map. You don't simply start the level however, you must enter virtual reality to secure Brainiac's location. First, you must traverse a path that contains panels that push you to your death as well as the standard vertical moving platforms, in order to reach Brainiac. Next, you must go down a thinner path with erratically scattered falling platforms to find Brainiac at the top. Finally, you must go through one last maze avoiding red enemies. The platforms will become red to signify the enemy sight range. Once you reach Brainiac, you just have to punch him once to begin the level proper.

Part 1: Exploring mini-Gotham
Despite losing Batman's group in Europe, Brainiac arrives at Gotham only to bump into the emotionally-altered alliance that crash-landed there. It's up to this team of odd personalities to stop Brainiac from shrinking Gotham city!

Cyborg and Lex Luthor are the first to encounter Brainiac next to the Ace Chemicals factory. You will be continuously attacked by Brainiac Minions throughout this section, so keep your guard up while solving puzzles in the area. First off, destroy the two glowing barrels on either side of the factory entrance to get pieces to build a crank. Turn the crank to open the factory gate, revealing a waste disposal machine inside. You can use Cyborg's Sonar Suit to shatter the glass wall on the side of the factory and use the fan inside to ascend to the roof, where you can find several brightly-colored LEGO pieces by breaking the satellite receiver. Cyborg can also use his Magnet Suit on the valves of the storage containers to make them eject canisters, which you can smash to find vacuumable LEGO bits inside.

Furthermore, you can use the Power Suit to destroy the metal truck at the left side of the area and use Luthor's Shield Suit to walk through the resulting fire wall, letting you get to some more pieces by smashing the trash can at the end of the corridor. Use Luthor's Hazard Suit to vacuum up to 25 pieces, then deposit them into the machine to get a toxic waste canister. Use the Giant Suit to pick up the canister and hurl it at Brainiac's ship to drive him off.

Brainiac next attacks a carnival fairground where the Joker and the Flash are present. Use the Joker's Electricity Suit to drain power from the rocking ship attraction, causing it to fall apart. Use the pieces to build a sphere conveyor, then switch to the Joker's Sphere Suit to roll on it, unveiling the curtains. As the Flash, wall jump up the blue and white walls before they slam together to reach the roof of the stage. Destroy the stall next to the Ferris wheel and use the pieces to create a treadmill, then run on the treadmill to overcharge the wheel with electricity, causing it to fly off and slam down at the center of the fairground.

From the wreckage of the wheel, use some parts to build a red lightning panel. Use the panel as the Flash, then select the highlighted objects in the fairground to make him construct a rollercoaster track. Now, switch to Joker's Electricity Suit and use the built up energy to power the outlet next to the rollercoaster, sending the coaster cars straight into Brainiac's ship, forcing him away to the gardens.

Robin, Cheetah and Solomon Grundy currently have another problem on their hands: a large man-eating plant. You need to find 3 roots scattered around the garden and destroy them to proceed. Go to the pond at the right half of the area and use a grapple to pull down a ladder leading up the glasshouse. Walk across the bridge to collect Robin's Dive Suit, which lets him sink into the water and gives him a heat beam. Sink into the pool of water in the building at the end of the bridge and use Robin's laser to destroy the gold covers, draining water out of the container. Have Cheetah dig in the dirt pile at the center of the container to find your first root. Use Robin's laser on the bud at the center to destroy the root.

The next root is pretty straightforward. Destroy the plants near the cracked wall to find your second dirt pile, under which you can dig up another root. Lastly, use Solomon Grundy to climb to the top of the building at the upper-left corner and clear the overgrowth, exposing the third dirt pile where you can dig up the final root. With all three roots cleared, you can now enter the building under the carnivorous plant. Use Solomon Grundy to dive into the swamp patch and unearth a plant cannon. Use Robin's grapple to activate the cannon, sending a massive seed crashing into Brainiac's ship.

Part 2: Brainiac's skull ship assault
Brainiac's spaceship is damaged enough that it crash lands with some help from Wonder Woman's lasso. Unfortunately, he manages to escape while diverting the heroes with mindless Brainiac clones, and finds his main skull ship. It's time for the decisive showdown against this android menace!

Brainiac mainly attacks by spawning limitless minions and slamming his ship's tentacles to the ground, which instantly kills you if you're crushed by it. Occasionally, he will also dig into the ground with a tentacle, causing fissure that can hurt you, then thrust that tentacle up high. At that time, you must use a ranged weapon to target the yellow spot on the tentacle to break off some of its armor. Afterward, you'll find that the damaged tentacle is now covered with shining metal. Use Batman's Power Suit to destroy the metal, rendering that tentacle useless.

Once both tentacles are destroyed, Brainiac will fire a deadly laser that follow you around. Use Batman's Sensor Suit to detect some loose bricks in front of Brainiac's ship, which assemble into a shield panel. Have Wonder Woman stand on the shield panel and divert the laser to destroy the skull ship's teeth. Use the pieces that fall out to build a lightning panel. Lastly, have the Flash use the panel and target the three miniature buildings to end the battle!

Using bricks from multiple buildings including the Wayne Tower, The Flash creates a massive cage to trap Brainiac's spaceship. Brainiac won't be doing any shrinking in this state, so the team head back to the Watchtower for further planning.
