Where to find Subwayne in Robinson Park
Subwayne is hidden inside a shuttered construction section in Robinson Park, located within Gotham Village. The unlock sequence revolves around restoring power and activating construction controls scattered across the building zone.
The puzzle area is easy to miss because several switches are blocked behind environmental hazards like fire, power diversions, and destructible objects. You must fully clear all four button objectives before the NPC construction worker becomes interactable.
How to unlock Subwayne in LEGO Batman Legacy of the Dark Knight
Step 1: Reach the Robinson Park construction area
Travel to Gotham Village → Robinson Park and locate the unfinished building surrounded by construction props, fires, and scaffolding. The Subwayne shutter is positioned at ground level near the construction worker NPC standing beside the locked entrance.
Step 2: Activate the first construction button
On the right side of the construction area, build the broken lever pieces nearby.
Enter the Batmobile and pull the lever to reveal the hidden button. Press the newly exposed switch to register the first activation.
Step 3: Extinguish the second fire switch
Move behind the building and locate the burning debris blocking the second button.
Use Batman’s fire-extinguishing ability or the required gadget to put out the flames, then activate the exposed construction button immediately afterward.
Step 4: Restore power for the third button
Head to the middle platform section of the building and extinguish another fire hiding the third switch.
After pressing the button, use the Batarang to redirect the electrical current and complete the power connection puzzle sequence.
Step 5: Find the hidden fourth button
Search behind the large billboard attached near the construction structure.
The fourth and final button is partially concealed behind the signboard, making it the easiest switch to overlook during the unlock process.
Step 6: Speak to the construction worker
Once all four buttons are activated, return to the nearby construction worker beside the shutter door.
Interact with the NPC to trigger the opening sequence and permanently unlock Subwayne in Robinson Park.

Important tips before attempting the puzzle
- The third button puzzle will not complete unless the power diversion is correctly redirected using the Batarang.
- If the construction worker does not open the shutter, double-check the billboard area because the fourth button is commonly missed.
- Some fire-based switches require specific character gadgets. If extinguishing fails, swap to a compatible Batman suit or gadget loadout.
- The Batmobile lever interaction only appears after fully building the construction mechanism on the right side.
- Environmental objects can visually reset if you leave the area too early. Stay nearby until all four buttons are completed.

Unlocking Subwayne early makes Gotham Village exploration significantly faster, especially when collecting hidden character tokens, side missions, and district collectibles.
