LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League - Gotham City Breakout

Gotham City, my city.

Long ago I began my one-man crusade

to protect her from crime and injustice and then along came Robin.

Together we were a dynamic duo of justice

defending Gotham from villainous rogues until young Robin grew up.

He took the name Nightwing and set out to fight crime on his own in Gotham.

But that wasn't the end of Robin's story.

A new Robin would soon join our ranks,

strengthening our team and extending the reach

of our protective cloak of justice

over every dark corner of our beloved Gotham City.

Don't worry, Commissioner. Batman and Robin are on the case!

Thank you, Batman!

With Gotham's vilest villains on the loose,

it's good to know our city is in the capable hands of heroes like...

You two?

Gone again.

That's it. The last of the precious stones.

The rest of them are only semi-precious stones.

Not even worth the time it'd take us to steal them.

Time, Penguin, is the one thing you'll have plenty of

once you're back in your cell at Arkham Asylum.

But first, let's see how you fit in my new Bat-magnet cage.

Bull's-eye! I mean, Penguin's-eye!

Good shot, Robin.

That should keep him grounded until the police arrive.

And that's the reason I'm always the designated driver.

Ta-ta, Pengie!

You'll be catching a ride back to Arkham together, Harley.

Carpooling is vital to a healthy environment.

Hey, watch where you're driving!

Whoa!

Not you, Batman, you're good.

Poor Batman, you'll never catch me.

But maybe you'll catch a fish.

Like shooting fish in a barrel... Without the barrel.

Give it up, Harley!

You're wanted for grand theft, receiving stolen goods

and egregious prop comedy.

What's the matter, Batman? My jokes driving you bananas?

Betrayed by my own bananas. Huh?

I may be going out on a limb here, Batman.

No, wait! I'm definitely going out on a limb!

You're late, Harl.

Sorry, traffic in Gotham will drive you batty.

Poison Ivy.

Keep your distance from her, Robin.

Associating with common jewel thieves now, are we?

"Common"?

My share of the gems will go to ensuring the well-being of plants everywhere, Batman.

A green thumb doesn't make up for your black heart.

Weed killer? Who carries weed killer?

The Batman.

And also the Robin.

My babies!

Perhaps another trip to Arkham will teach you the error of your ways.

And help you turn over a new leaf.

Robin, cover these two until the authorities arrive.

Looks like there's one last villain to wrangle.

I love it when a plan comes together.

Hey, look at that!

Whoa, cool!

In Gotham, everybody pays bus fare.

Aren't you the agile one?

Hmm.

What? Batman! But how?

Quite simple, really.

You uncannily anticipated my every move as you fled.

I simply anticipated you anticipating my every move

and adjusted accordingly, beating you to the place I would've chased you to.

Impressive.

You shouldn't be too surprised, Nightwing!

Aw. How did you...

Oh, I bet it was my circus aerialist moves that gave me away, right?

As well as a few special moves that only I could have taught you.

Furthermore, I have deduced the reason for your theatrical game of tag.

As today marks the anniversary of the first appearance of the Batman,

and as most superheroes are a highly emotional, sentimental lot,

you have obviously lured me to this location

to set me up for some kind of surprise party.

Surprise.

You shouldn't have.

I can't believe he guessed our plan. Again!

You know, Batman, you take the fun out of being your friend sometimes.

How so?

Happy Bat-Birthday, Batman!

You see what I did there?

Because you put "bat" before "mobile" and "cave"?

The rest of the League wanted to be here, but duty calls. Hey, look!

Most of the Teen Titans showed up!

Milkshake-consuming contest begin!

- I win! - Aw.

So I see.

Happy anniversary, Bruce.

It's hardly happy for the criminals of Gotham City, Diana.

I mean, thank you.

So, I know you don't want presents,

but Robin, Nightwing and I all chipped in and got you something,

which is not easy,

because what do you buy for a guy who literally has one of everything?

Batgirl, he can't literally have one of everything.

That's true. I've inventoried the Batcave, there are some things he has two of.

Boy, you are rich. Am I in your will?

Anyway, we realized there's not some thing we can buy you

that you can't buy for yourself.

So, your present is something even better.

Quality time with us!

You're suggesting we take a vacation?

Surprise!

Very thoughtful.

Unfortunately, crime doesn't take vacations.

Gotham needs me.

Well, of course it does!

But you need a break, and I'll be happy to babysit your fair...

Fair-ish city while you're gone.

I don't know.

The villains in Gotham are a bit different than the ones you're used to.

Well, sure, they're different.

For one thing, most of them don't even have superpowers.

I don't think they'll be too big a problem for me.

Don't underestimate Gotham's...

Bruce, Clark really can handle it.

And the rest of the Justice League is only a phone call away.

Oh, come on, Batman!

If there is one hero in this world that deserves and needs a vacay,

it is definitely you.

- Fine. - What? You'll do it?

Of course he said the yes.

How could one say no to Nightwing's dreamy eyes of the puppy dog? Hmm-hmm.

Periods of rest are required to operate at peak efficiency.

Besides, I'm a fun guy.

- When do we leave? - Right now.

Before you change your mind.

Oh, man, I wanted one of those freezer pops.

Thanks, Beast Boy!

Mmm.

I usually hate the lime ones. This one's way better.

That's because it has my spit on it.

- Hmm. - Ugh.

Whoa. Now I am feeling the sickness of the stomach.

Here on the Bat-refrigerator is a list of emergency numbers,

including Commissioner Gordon's cell.

If you can't reach me, call him day or night.

No problem, worrywart. Just try and have a good time.

Also, no video games for Robin after 8:30.

It gets him all wound up before his bedtime.

What? This whole party was my idea! I'm totally coming, too!

On a school night? I don't think so.

Aw.

Positive reinforcement? Self-esteem building?

We talked about this.

Robin, I think what Batman is saying is that he can't trust Gotham City to an outsider.

You know this town and need to look out for Superman.

Isn't that right, Batman?

Sure.

Okay, Batman. Gotcha.

Keep the Big Blue Boy Scout out of trouble.

Indeed. Hey, are you still here?

Because Robin and I really need to get on with our duties. Right, pally?

Right, Superman!

So long! Farewell! Happy travels!

Ready to patrol the city, Superman?

I can show you where all the most dangerous criminals like to lurk.

No, Robin, I'm afraid your first duty tonight is to complete your homework!

- But... - Uh-uh-uh.

Butts are for sittin'. Not for sassin'.

'Least that's what my ma used to say. Never understood it. Let's go, youngster.

You might as well send me to jail.

We kept your old cell warm for ya, Harley.

Hey, for a girl who likes to play jokes,

why is it that Batman always gets the last laugh?

Ha! See what you did there. Good one.

Ha. Everyone's a comedian.

Hey, Mr. J! I'm home! Whoo!

Huh?

Ooh. What's this?

Looks like the Bats are leaving the belfry!

Well, while the Bats are away, the Joker will play!

That's really not very funny.

No, it's not even a clever twist on the popular idiom involving cats and mice.

Agreed.

Everyone's a critic.

It's you and me now, Spoony. I liberated you from the kitchen.

Time to return the favor. Can you do it?

Sure thing, loser!

Oh, Spoony, you're the greatest.

We're going on vacation! We're going on vacation!

We're on vacation!

Admit it, this was the best idea ever!

Yes, and it's been quite refreshing.

Time to head back to Gotham.

Oh, relax, Batman, you're going to have a great time.

You'll never guess what we've got lined up for you.

Based on your excessive sentimentality,

I theorize that you are taking me on a trip down memory lane,

retracing my formative steps with the various mentors

who helped me to become the Batman.

Ha! Wrong! We're taking you on a trip down memory lane!

Retracing your formative steps with the various mentors who... Gah!

Don't be too hard on yourself, former Boy Wonder.
