How to Change Characters in Gotham Knights

Gotham Knights puts you in control of four characters — Nightwing, Robin, Batgirl and Red Hood. While the game is co-op, players can also embark on the adventure solo, and switch between the various superheroes in both solo and multiplayer. The question most players will have, though, is how? Once you’ve completed the tutorial, the game doesn’t actually tell you how to switch characters in Gotham Knights, so we thought we’d jump in to help you out with this guide.

How To Switch Characters in Gotham Knights

To switch between the various heroes of Gotham Knights, you’ll need to go to the Belfry — your base of operations in Gotham City.

When you first enter the room with the Batcomputer in front of you, look over to the left-hand side of the room. Here, you’ll see a training area with combat dummies, as well as some superhero suits just a little further down from them.

Walk over to the suit of the superhero you want to take control of. Press and hold X on PlayStation or A on Xbox to switch to that superhero. For example, if you want to switch to Batgirl, you’d stand in front of her costume and press and hold X/A.

After a brief transition screen, you’ll be put in control of the chosen hero you wanted to switch to.

Can You Change Hero Around Gotham City?

Unfortunately, no. Once you’ve left the Belfry and started your ‘patrol’ for that night, you won’t be able to change character until you return to the HQ again.

In other words, there’s no option in the various menus to switch your character when you’re out and about. This is likely due to the fact that the game allows for drop-in-drop-out co-op, and if players could change freely, it might result in players being able to all play as the same superhero, rather than different ones as the game intended.
