LEGO® Batman™ 2: DC Super Heroes
81
Metacritic
Legends Unite! The Dynamic Duo of Batman and Robin join other famous super heroes from the DC Universe including Superman, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern to save Gotham City from destruction at the hands of the notorious villains Lex Luthor and the Joker.
The original native Mac port is dead (32-bit), but the Windows version runs flawlessly via Parallels Desktop on M-series chips.
What the world thinks
- Install Parallels Desktop and set up a Windows 11 Home/Pro ARM instance.
- In the Windows VM settings, assign at least 4 CPU cores and 8GB of RAM for optimal stability.
- Install Steam within the Windows instance and download 'LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes'.
- Before launching, go to its Steam Properties > Controller and ensure 'Steam Input' is enabled to handle Xbox/PS4 controllers correctly.
- Launch the game. If you experience flickering, set the resolution to match your virtual Windows desktop resolution and enable VSync in the in-game options.
- Whisky / CrossOver: While lighter on resources, LEGO Batman 2 can suffer from graphical artifacts or missing vertex lighting on M-series chips when using Wine-based translation. Parallels provides a much more stable environment for this specific title.
- VMware Fusion 13: This is a free alternative to Parallels for personal use. While performance is slightly lower, the game is old enough that it remains fully playable at 60 FPS on M1-M3 chips.

How to run LEGO® Batman™ 2: DC Super Heroes on Mac with GeForce NOW
Estimate· StreamingStreaming LEGO® Batman™ 2: DC Super Heroes through GeForce NOW is the fastest way to start playing on a Mac — there's nothing to install, no Windows VM, no compatibility layer. The game runs on a remote GPU and your Mac just receives the video, which means even a base M1 MacBook Air can play the most demanding AAA titles at high settings. The tradeoff is that you need a stable internet connection (ideally wired or 5GHz Wi-Fi with 25+ Mbps down) and a subscription.
Step-by-step
- Sign up at GeForce NOW. The free tier works; Ultimate gives 4K/120fps.
- Download the GeForce NOW Mac app (Apple Silicon native).
- Link your Steam / Epic / Xbox account that owns LEGO® Batman™ 2: DC Super Heroes.
- Search the title in the app and click Play.
