Gotham Cathedral is the fifteenth and final hero level in the Nintendo DS version of LEGO Batman: The Videogame. It is the fifth and final hero level of The Joker's Last Laugh.

Story

Arriving at Gotham Cathedral, the duo realize that Joker Goons have been building Joker devices. The duo deactivate three Joker devices and reach the top of the cathedral, where they encounter the Joker and Harley Quinn. The villain duo has the booby trapped activated. The Joker attacks both heroes on foot, while Harley Quinn stays on the high ledge shooting at them to help her boyfriend. The duo end up defeating the Joker by crashing into the booby trapped, exploding it. Harley Quinn realizes her boyfriend's defeat and gives him kisses, only for Batman to arrest them. Both villains end up being sent to Arkham Asylum.

Walkthrough

You start at the entrance to Gotham Cathedral. The doors leading inside the cathedral are closed. To open them, go to the left side and use Batman in a suit swapper to put on the Demolition Suit. Then, use a Hero Panel to build a grapple point and use it to reach the ledge above. On that ledge, build a button on the wall and press it to build a metal wall. To find the Magno Suit for Robin, go left and destroy a dumpster to build a suit swapper with this suit. Using the Magno Suit, scale the metal wall and use a pole point to swing to the high left ledge. On that high ledge, destroy a gray box on the left to build a wall button and press it to extend four steps for Batman. Then, use Batman's Batarang or Robin's Birdarang to hit three glowing red targets and turn them green, allowing you to build a grapple point. Use it with Batman to reach the highest platform and destroy a white box to build a swapper suit. That suit swapper will allow you to put on the Glide Suit. With the Glide Suit, glide to the high ledge on the right and push a box over the edge to knock it down and build a wall button next to the doors. Press that button to open the cathedral doors, which will take you to the next area.

In the next area, three Joker Goons guarding a Joker device will notice you. Go right and defeat the goons. Next, build a lever attached to the Joker device and pull it to disable the device. This will open the doors on the right. Go through the newly opened doors to reach the next area.

In the next area, you'll see two Joker Goons breaking the windows. Luckily, a third Goon Joker ends up crashing through a very sturdy window. Defeat the breakers of the first two windows and build a wall button on the right. Press it to lower the wall on the right and continue to the right. You will see another Joker device that you will have to turn off. Use a suit swapper in the lower right corner to put Batman's Demolition Suit back on. Then, place a detonator near a red heavy object in the center and detonate it to destroy the object and drop a large button, which will be destroyed. Rebuild it and have both characters step on it so that the two glowing green targets on either side of the front doors turn red. Use Batman's Batarang or Robin's Birdarang to turn them green and extend a high platform to the right. Build a grapple point to the right and use it with Batman to reach the platform. On that platform, step on a button to extend another platform to the left. Then, use the Batarang to hit a glowing red target and turn it green. Build another grapple point to the left and use it to reach the high left platform. Use the Batarang to hit another glowing red target. When both glowing red targets are green, you can build a lever on the left platform. Pull it to reveal pieces near the Joker device. Before you can use those pieces, two Joker Goons will come to protect the device. Defeat them, use the pieces to build a lever attached to the Joker device, and pull it to disable the device. With the Joker device disabled, two buttons will appear near the front doors. Have both characters step on them to open the door that will take you to the next area.

In the next area, you'll see one last Joker device to disable. Go left and two Joker Goons will appear from above. Defeat them to build a lever attached to the Joker device and pull it. With the device disabled, pieces will appear on the second floor. Go up the stairs on the left and use the pieces to build a grapple point. Use it with Batman to reach a higher platform and use another grapple point to reach the third floor. Step on a button to extend steps for Robin. Destroy a white box to build a pole point and use it with Robin to swing to a higher platform. Pull a lever to reveal a grapple point that will allow Batman to reach the platform. Use Batman on another grapple point to reach the fourth floor, build another button and step on it to extend more steps for Robin. Use another grapple point to reach an even higher platform and destroy a white box to build one more grapple point, which will allow you to reach the fifth floor. Step on one last button to extend more steps and get Robin to the fifth floor. With the heroes on the fifth floor, have them pull two levers to open the doors that will take you to the final area.

In the final area, go right and you'll face the Joker and Harley Quinn in a final boss battle. The Joker will be attacking you in melee, while Harley Quinn will be shooting at you from a high ledge. Hit the Joker several times to remove three of his twelve hearts. When you take three hearts from him, he will jump to the ledge with Harley. Use Batman's Batarang or Robin's Birdarang to hit two glowing red targets on either side and turn them green. This will shock the Joker and Harley Quinn. While they are being electrocuted, have both characters pull two levers under the ledge with them to make a red light turn green. The electric shock will end and the Joker will attack you again in melee. Repeat the same at least three times until all three red lights turn green. When all three red lights are green, the Joker will attack you in melee one last time. Hit him several times until you remove his last three hearts to finish the level.
