Official Description
Embark on an all-new LEGO open-world adventure by becoming the best villain the universe has seen in LEGO DC Super-Villains. For the first time, a LEGO game is giving you and your family the ability to play as a super-villain, unleashing mischievous antics and wreak havoc in an action-packed, hilarious story written in collaboration with DC Comics.
The Joker, Harley Quinn, Lex Luthor, and others from the Injustice League won’t stand for second-best when it comes to villainy. Embrace your inner super-villain, as you battle opponents, solve puzzles, and overcome obstacles using menacing pranks and tactics experienced best from the unique perspective of the bad guys.
The Justice League has disappeared, leaving Earth’s protection to their counterparts from a parallel universe, the “Justice Syndicate”, a new, strange group of wannabe superheroes with unclear intentions. Whether it’s Graffiti Spraying walls in Metropolis or using Fear Toxins to scare characters in Gotham City, super-villains have full reign to use any trick in their arsenal to stop the Justice Syndicate’s evil scheme.
Plot
Whilst en route to Stryker's Island with a "special subject," Commissioner Gordon receives word from Detective Renee Montoya that The Joker has broken into Wayne Tech. Dismissing this to focus on the task at hand, Gordon proceeds to Metropolis. Arriving at Stryker's Island, he meets with the incarcerated Lex Luthor, seeking assistance regarding a very peculiar suspect. This mysterious individual had been apprehended following a break in at a laboratory previously owned by Professor Ivo, a colleague of Luthor. Ivo and Luthor had both taken part in the 'Amazo' Project, an android capable of stealing powers from heroes.
The mysterious individual arrives accompanied by Lex Luthor's personal body guard, Mercy Graves, disguised as a security guard. Mercy reveals herself to those present, and successfully releases both Lex and the rookie villain from custody. The trio proceeds throughout the penitentiary, reuniting with Cheetah and Solomon Grundy along the way. The group delves further into the facility to break out Metallo, who is able to apprehend Superman following his arrival. They proceed out to the coast, followed by the newly released prisoners, where they are intercepted by the remaining members of the Justice League, sans Batman.
The "Justice Syndicate" consists of Grid, Johnny Quick, Superwoman, Ultraman, Sea King, Owlman, and Power Ring.
Meanwhile, following the Wayne Tech break in, The Joker and Harley Quinn are captured by Batman in the Batwing. Caught in the battle between the newly released inmates and the Justice League, the Batwing crashes, and Batman is chased away by Grundy. In an attempt to flee the area, The Joker and Harley climb the Gotham City Clocktower and board the Jokercopter. Their victory is short lived however, as they soon crash into Lex and Mercy, landing on a nearby rooftop. Suddenly, the released inmates are all defeated with ease by a new group of individuals, calling themselves the "Justice Syndicate," who each appear to be physically similar to a member of the Justice League...

Trivia
Notes
- This is the first LEGO game to focus entirely on villains, similar to the villain levels featured in LEGO Batman: The Videogame.
- The game's release also marked the 10th anniversary of LEGO Batman: The Videogame.
- This is the first LEGO game featuring a custom character in the main story.
- The stud bonus in each level is called "True Villain", as opposed to "True Hero" from both LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes and LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham.
- The game's storyline takes influence from the New 52 storyline, "Forever Evil" which ran from 2013-2014, with the inclusion of the Crime Syndicate of America and the game's focus on Villains.
- Another influence from the game's storyline includes the pre-Rebirth series, "The Darkseid War" which ran from 2015-2016, due to the inclusion of Lex Luthor's Superman warsuit and Darkseid's daughter, Grail.
- Like LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham, several voice actors reprise their roles from other DC properties, such as the animated Justice League series for example.
- Game director Arthur Parsons stated that the game utilizes an "All Star" voice cast. Parsons describes his excitement on the game's cast as the best one that he ever worked on in any LEGO game the company done.
- This decision was made due to the fact that Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 was using a different cast in the form of non-union actors from the United Kingdom during the 2016–17 video game voice actor strike instead of actors that are affiliated from the Screen Actors Guild‐American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA).
- Game director Arthur Parsons stated that the game utilizes an "All Star" voice cast. Parsons describes his excitement on the game's cast as the best one that he ever worked on in any LEGO game the company done.
- The hub world consists of multiple iconic locations from the DC Universe, such as Gotham City, Metropolis, Arkham Asylum, Stryker's Island, Belle Reve, the Justice League Watchtower, Smallville, S.T.A.R. Labs and Apokolips.
- In order to keep Mark Hamill's involvement under wraps, Christopher Corey Smith, who voiced The Joker in LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham and LEGO Dimensions provided the voice of the character in the announcement trailer until Hamill's voice was officially revealed at E3 2018.
- To coincide with the trailer's villainous theme, the music that was played in the trailer was "One Way Or Another" by Blondie.
- Both Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen give mission briefings before each level similar to J. Jonah Jameson's Webcast in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2.
- Unlike all previous LEGO video games, there are only 5 minikit pieces per level, making there a total of 100 minikit pieces in-game (not including DLC levels). In all previous games, each level contained 10 minikit pieces.
- There are 200 Gold Bricks to collect.
- There are 20 Red Bricks to collect.
- There are 20 story levels, similar to Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2.
- The Octan brand appears in the Smallville area of the hub as a gas station.
- Not including DLC, the game's roster consists of 174 characters, making it the largest character roster in a LEGO DC Game.
