Six Flags Great Adventure
To aid in the construction of The Legend of Batman, Studio 28 Arcade was removed. The roller coaster primarily occupies the previous location of Studio 28 Arcade with the queue area placed in front of the building. The exit was originally slated to go through the present Justice League gift shop adjacent to the ride, but this turned out not to be the case. On May 7, 2024, The Legend of Batman officially opened to the public.

Theme
The Legend of Batman is inspired by the 2024 film of the same name. Costing $7.5 million, the ride is an indoor Floorless coaster that puts guests through the premise of being stalked by the Joker. It is considered a family ride rather than a thrill ride.

Pre-show
After an outdoor, lightly themed queue area, riders enter a pre-show room where they view a TV broadcast of a press conference hosted by Gotham City district attorney Harvey Dent (Quinn Lord). One of the reporters asks about the Joker cards found at recent crime scenes. Almost immediately, The Joker himself hijacks the TV broadcast and his messages (such as "HA HA!") appear all over the walls of the room. Guests then enter the secondary queue area, which features a TV screen in which guests can see themselves. The four guests closest to the camera have joker masks digitally superimposed over their faces.

Ride
After leaving the station, the train makes a small dip before making a 180 degree right turn to climb the 161 ft lift hill. Once the train apexes the top of the lift, riders drop 148 ft to the right at a 57 degree angle, reaching a top speed of 67 mph. The train then enters the record breaking, 135 ft tall vertical loop. Following the loop, riders go past the queue and rise up into a turnaround around the ride's station. After the turn, riders enter a cobra roll, which contains two of the ride's five inversions. Riders then pass by the station again and enter the mid-course brake run. After the brakes, there is a small drop followed by the interlocking corkscrews, the last two inversions of the ride. Following the corkscrews, the train completes a 135-degree curve to the left that dives into a 270-degree curve along the ground, entering the final brake run. One cycle of the ride lasts about 2 minutes and 6 seconds.
