SubWayne Riddle: how to unlock fast travel in Gotham

Published on May 20, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

Players of LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight encounter a puzzle at the SubWayne station in The Cauldron South. To activate fast travel, they must change red lights to green and restore power to a crane. The key lies in using the game's detective vision ability, which highlights interactive elements in the environment.

Optimizing the detection range to solve mechanisms 🎮

The guide recommends increasing the detection range through in-game upgrades. This allows you to clearly identify the hidden mechanisms that control the lights and the crane. Without this upgrade, the puzzle becomes tedious, as the key elements do not stand out well from the background. The detective vision ability is the main tool for progressing, and expanding its range reduces exploration time.

Red lights, dead crane, and a confused Batman 🦇

Because, of course, nothing says fast travel like spending twenty minutes looking for a switch that seems invisible. Batman, the world's greatest detective, needs a vision enhancer to find a lever. And the crane, without power, becomes the most dramatic obstacle in Gotham. Good thing the game doesn't charge you for electricity, because the SubWayne bill would be astronomical.
