LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham (Windows, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Wii U, Mac OS X)

LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham brings the Dynamic Duo to space in order to team up with the rest of the Justice League and defeat the villainous Brainiac, before he steals the Lantern Power Rings for his own nefarious purposes. Probably should have been named "LEGO Green Lantern", but they probably didn't want to bring back memories of the 2011 flop.
Most people seem to remember it as "the one with the hub world downgrade" after both Gotham City in LEGO Batman 2 and Manhattan in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes raised open-world expectations.

Unused Graphics
Scrapped/Changed Characters
Remnants of characters that never made the final product, or were changed prior.
Atrocitus
Atrocitus having a face texture in the format of minifigure characters suggests that he wasn't going to be a big-figure at first.
Black Mask
Black Mask appears to be a character that was scrapped altogether, despite having completed textures. Past games at least included his parts in the character creation suite, but sadly poor Roman missed out on this game full time. Strangely enough these textures were also used in the handheld port of Lego Batman 2.
Brainiac
These leftover textures are the remnants of a 1950s variant of Brainiac based off of his first appearance. These textures are also in LEGO Batman 2's files.
Croc Goon
There is an unused face texture with a name that suggests that Killer Croc's goons would be more crocodile-person hybrids, rather than just people in crocodile costumes.
Firefly
Firefly has unused torso textures that adapt the design from Batman: The Animated Series. Interestingly, these are named as though the default, while the ones used (modeled after the design in The Batman series) are named "FIREFLYBNY".
Firestorm
Firestorm has an alternate face texture that's closer to his current appearance.
Green Arrow
There are textures for a classic variant of Green Arrow, while the final game only has the New 52 variant. Like with Firefly, the filenames suggest these are for the default variant.
Manchester Black
An unused and more unique face for Manchester Black exists, rather than the generic NPC one used in-game.
Polka-Dot Man
The same thing with Manchester Black is also the case with Polka-Dot Man.
Red Robin
A complete set of textures for Tim Drake as Red Robin goes unused in the files.
Voltaic
The same is true for incredibly minor Batman villain Voltaic.
LEGO Batman 2 Leftovers
There are leftover character textures from the previous LEGO Batman game.
Batman
Batman's default variant textures from LEGO Batman 2 return, but so do some that were unused then and now.
Damian Wayne
Oddly the only DLC character to have textures leftover here, Damian Wayne's torso returns in all its glory... despite being very similar to Tim Drake's textures.
LexCorp Scientist
Another barely relevant character has their textures return, this time a common enemy in level 9 of LEGO Batman 2. Just the back texture this time, weirdly.
Lex Luthor
Lex's sleek dark suit from the previous game appears in this one too, even though in-game he's always in battle armor.
Unused Icons
Placeholder Icon
This blank face with the joker suit is used as a placeholder for DLC characters in the base game folder. 75AZRAELBATMAN_DX11.TEX is used here as an example.
STONECITIZENA_DX11.TEX
STONECITIZENB_DX11.TEX
Unused icons in the DLC folders.
Early Icons
Alternate DLC Icons
The DLC characters' data and graphics are still in the base game, with some notably different icons compared to the dedicated DLC folders.
Unused Audio
8BIT_QUI.OGG
An unused music track that could've been used for an 8-Bit Music red brick, like the ones in LEGO Lord of the Rings and LEGO The Hobbit.
Normally Unseen Text

Out of bounds in the Watchtower, found under the Containment Cells load zone from the main area, is an unused load zone to a nonexistent room labeled "The Armory". Oddly, visiting this space on certain platforms cause bright red lighting to affect the player character.
