It's a great range of characters, although many of them share the same abilities, rather than each having unique powers. Characters can also unlock special suits that give them more powers, which are needed to perform tasks in the missions. In total there are more than 150 DC comic characters to unlock in the game, from favorites like Superman, Wonder Woman, and The Flash to more obscure 'heroes' like Kevin Smith and Conan O'Brien, who play themselves.
There are plenty of collectibles and things to unlock in LEGO Batman 3, and you'll generally need to play through a level twice if you want to get all the stuff. Puzzles generally involve trying to figuring out which character's power you need to call upon, then activating this ability to pull the lever, destroy the object, turn on the piece of tech, etc. You'll need to bash buttons to destroy bad guys and break bricks, as well as solving puzzles. Gameplay in LEGO Batman 3, as with previous LEGO games, consists of playing through a series of linear levels to progress, either in single-player or split-screen two-player mode.
