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 left over 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 Fairground Levels

In hero\chapter3\fairground\ there are three unused levels; FAIRGROUND_ENTRANCE, FAIRGROUND_FUNHOUSE and lastly FAIRGROUND_ROLLERCOASTER. These levels are all three shown in the second half of the video provided on the right. It's worth noting that in the PC version, these levels cannot be loaded into the game because the GSC files use an older version of the format. The format they use on PC is the same as LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga's level format and, as such, 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 referred 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

; StreetsChase_A+C+D (USING old _Level2) - NO QUIET !!!
;QUIET	"H_Ch1_StreetsChase_A_Qui"  ID "H_Ch1_StreetsChase_A"  ATTENUATION -3    IX 15.30  IX 52.96  IX 71.85  IX 90.53  IX 99.35

NOMUSIC "H_Ch1_StreetsChase_A_amb"  ID "H_Ch1_StreetsChase_A"  ATTENUATION -3

Unused Sounds

Minikit

LEGO Star Wars Minikit Loop	LEGO Batman Minikit Loop

Another left over from the LEGO Star Wars games, including LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga, is the looping sound used for the Minikit. The final game use a completely different sound for the Minikit, rendering this unused.

Leftover Progress Counter

Found in the hub map far out of bounds, to the left from the Arkham 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 left over 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, and also can be seen on Page 20 of the Nintendo DS version’s manual.

Several of these characters have buyable in-game trivia associated with them.

L.B.I. Agent, Riot Policeman, and Geek can be made playable with mods. Character creator parts for Azrael & Huntress can be unlocked by collecting all minikits in the Hero missions, and parts for Black Mask & Spoiler can be unlocked by doing the same for the Villain levels. However, these names still go unused as they are not their own unlockable characters and have to be named manually by the player.

"Commissioner Gordon" is also in the list twice, numbered 108 and 121.

Mini-cut Titles

STUFF/TEXT/ENGLISH.TXT

These seem to be used when introducing unique bosses, especially ones consisting of two characters fought at the same time. "Joker and Riddler" is never used. The two aren't fought together and never even interact during the story, being confined to their own individual campaigns.

;Mini-cut titles
570 "Riddler and Two-Face"
571 "Joker and Riddler"
572 "Catwoman and Penguin"
573 "Police Battle Helicopter"

The battle with The Joker & Harley Quinn has no entry here, as they are introduced individually during their cutscene. "Penguin's Submarine" and "Police Watercraft", two bosses similar to the Police Battle Helicopter, are stored in the character names list instead.

Unused Extras

Featured within the games code are two known working unused extras, one being a left over from LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga, and the other being a completely new scrapped extra that adds hit bubbles to the game whenever something gets hit, in a similar fashion to the 1960s Batman TV series. The "Hit Bubbles" extra would later be used in LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham, as well as LEGO Dimensions. The following codes are for use with the NTSC PlayStation 2 and Wii versions of the game.
