Another vehicle mission, though this time you abuse the destructive power and flying prowess of the Batwing. Fleets of airfighters attempt to shoot you down, but the real target is stationed to the far right, a Joker anti-aircraft missile launcher. What a doozy. Your Batwing's puny guns won't dent this badboy, so head to the upper left and load up a few anti-anti-aircraft missiles!

In his haste to escape, the enemy brought up a huge columns of fire that somehow need to be extinguished. Back near the second and third anti-aircraft launchers was a structure. Shoot it to pieces to reveal a mine. Switch to the Batcopter and sling a tow cable around it. Carry it over to the flames, making sure the mine comes into contact with the gas tank underneath.
advertisementIf you again tow a mine to the very far right and drop it on the blue tinted box sitting under the big hotel sign, you will receive another LEGO canister.
A force field in the next area, guarded by two sentries, stands in the way. First, drag a mine toward the container in the center to free up some missiles. Run these missiles into the two sentries situated on each side of the barrier to power down the force field. On another note, drag a mine into three shiny blue valves to secure a LEGO canister. As well, grab a missile and fly over to the left. A discolored part of the vertical pipe can be blown off to reveal another LEGO canister.

The red power brick lies beyond the clouds of poisonous gas billowing from the three chimneys. You must have a toxin immune craft to get past, then shoot the structures behind.
Scarecrow will tail the Batwing like a fat kid trying to get a Twinkie. What you need to do then is grab a few missiles from the dispenser and stop in one spot. This way, the Scarecrow doesn't move around a whole lot and shake the Batcopter loose. Switch to the Batcopter and latch onto the Scarecrow with the tow cable. This gives the Batwing a clear shot of the plane with its missiles. Meanwhile, there is a LEGO canister floating above an orange water tower tetrad.
