Riddle me this, Batman. What's falling to pieces? Gotham City, that's what. And it's up to you to save it in LEGO Batman: The Videogame. Jumping jellybeans, Batman! They've found our unused content!

Unused Models

Early Joker Model

In CHARS/JOKER, there is an additional file titled JOKER.HGO_PC.GSC that appears to be an early incomplete version of Joker's model. Unlike the versions that are used, the textures are DXT3 compressed instead of DXT1 and DXT5, and the metadata in the "nu20" (the file's extended header) claims that the file has no images, bones, nor layers.

JOKER.HGO_PC.GSC	JOKER_PC.GHG and JOKER_LR_PC.GHG
	(no bumpmap texture)

Unused Textures

Textures In The Executable

An unused font meant for debugging in LEGO Batman.

A texture probably used as a default texture when the referenced texture cannot be found.

There are quite a few textures that are corrupted as they cut off. These seem to be leftover from LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga as these textures were used as achievement images for the Xbox 360 version of the game. Below, there are some comparisons of the LEGO Batman versions and the LEGO Star Wars Achievement versions.

Unused Levels

FAIRGROUND_ENTRANCE

In hero\chapter3\fairground\ there are unused levels. This level "FAIRGROUND_ENTRANCE" is found in the LEGO Batman game files but cannot be loaded into the game because of its format. The format this level uses is the same as LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga's level format, as such, this level can be loaded into that game.

Unused Music

Two-Face Chase "Quiet" Music

AUDIO\_MUSIC\H_CH1_STREETSCHASE_A_QUI.OGG

Music files in this game are ordinarily divided into three types: ACTION, QUIET, and NOMUSIC (ambient sounds for when music playback is disabled.) The Level "Two-Face Chase" (internally refered to as StreetsChase) has an associated QUIET track, but it is commented out in MUSIC.CFG, rendering it unused. The track uses the Batcave music with the StreetsChase ambience. The MUSIC.CFG entry is as follows:

AUDIO\MUSIC.CFG

NOMUSIC "H_Ch1_StreetsChase_A_amb"  ID "H_Ch1_StreetsChase_A"  ATTENUATION -3

Leftover Progress Counter

Found in the hub map far out of bounds, to the left from the Arkam Asylum is some text floating out in the void that keeps track of playtime, and the percentage of the game completed, on the current save file. This is a leftover from LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga, and other Lego Star Wars games before that from TT Games, which displayed the save file information in the hub map. The developers could've planned for this to be seen possibly near the bat-computer, but judging by the fact that the counter is far away from the bat-cave, possibly not.

Early Harley Quinn Textures

Earlier in development, Harley Quinn had a vastly different model and slightly different textures. The model used in the game is based on the 2008 LEGO® Batman Harley Quinn minifigure which had a specialized mould for her hat. This was the version TTGames used for Harley Quinn in the demo and final game. In the demo installer for LEGO® Batman The Videogame demo, there is an image of the early Harley Quinn model. This image can also be seen in the results screen following certain levels.
