==Synopsis==
The movie begins when Superman and Batman arrive at LexCorp. When they enter into a large room, they get subdued by a giant, shadowy figure with Kryptonite stored in it's chest as a power source. The robot rockets away. Now, two days prior, an award show held in Gotham City, Luthor loses the "Man of the Year" award to Bruce Wayne. Suddenly, the ceremony is interrupted by a group of villains led by the Joker, who rob the audience and steal the award. As the Joker presents a film about himself, which showcases his laughing gas that can make people temporarily adore him, Bruce dons the Batsuit and, with Robin's help, defeats Harley Quinn, the Riddler, Two-Face, and the Penguin. The Joker escapes via motorboat, but Batman and Robin pursue him to Amusement Mile and capture him. 
As the villains are sent to Arkham Asylum, Superman arrives to congratulate Batman and Robin, much to the former's perceived chagrin. Meanwhile, Luthor, believing the Joker's gas could help him get elected president, breaks the Joker out of Arkham using the "Deconstructor", a kryptonite-powered weapon that can deconstruct unbreakable black objects. The Joker uses the Deconstructor to release more inmates before escaping with Luthor. Batman and Robin respond to Commissioner Gordon's distress call and round up the Penguin, Two-Face, Harley, the Riddler, Catwoman, Bane, and Poison Ivy in the asylum's courtyard, as well as Scarecrow inside the asylum, before realizing the Joker has escaped.
While responding to a break-in at Ace Chemicals, Batman and Robin realize it was the Joker's doing and search for clues, but the factory is destroyed by a series of explosive chemical reactions caused by the Joker before he left. The pair are rescued by Superman, who puts out the fire, but Batman declines his help in finding the Joker. Batman discovers the chemicals Joker stole could be mixed into synthetic kryptonite, and uses the Batmobile's on-board computer to track their signature to Luthor's mobile operations center. Batman and Robin board the vehicle and confront Luthor and the Joker, but are thrown out into the street before the Joker uses the Deconstructor to destroy the Batmobile. Unable to continue the pursuit, the pair return to the Batcave to analyze a piece of synthetic kryptonite they retrieved, unaware it contains a tracking device, which Luthor and the Joker use to find them. The villains destroy the Batcave and steal Batman's supply of real kryptonite, which was their target all along. Batman and Robin are again rescued by Superman, whom the former reluctantly allows to help.
While Robin salvages what is left of Batman's equipment, Batman and Superman travel to Metropolis and infiltrate LexCorp, stumbling upon a giant Joker-esque robot piloted by Luthor and the Joker. The villains use the robot's kryptonite weapon to subdue Superman and crush Batman with a large crate, unaware that the heroes had swapped costumes prior. Having survived, Batman and Superman pursue the robot and destroy its flying gear before Superman is exposed to its kryptonite power source, causing him and Batman to crash-land in Gotham. The pair make their way to the city hall, where Luthor discovers that the Joker's gas' affectionate properties were only effective on the Joker, not Luthor. Following another fight with the robot, Superman damages its power source, causing it to leak liquid kryptonite, but is left completely weakened. Robin arrives in a multi-colored Batmobile, which counters the Deconstructor's effects, and he and Batman trick Luthor and the Joker into chasing them around Gotham. The kryptonite creates a giant Joker face, which is seen from the Watchtower by Martian Manhunter, who contacts the rest of the Justice League: Wonder Woman, Cyborg, Green Lantern and the Flash. Once they arrive to help, Luthor concedes defeat but attempts to destroy Wayne Tower in an act of retaliation against Bruce Wayne.
Superman recovers his strength and he and Wonder Woman try to save Wayne Tower, while the others battle the Joker robot on top, sending it plummeting onto the street below. With the robot destroyed, the Joker and Luthor (now wearing power armor) come out to fight the heroes, but are ultimately defeated, while Green Lantern rebuilds Wayne Tower's supports, stabilizing it. As the two villains are arrested, Gordon thanks Batman for saving the day, to which he admits he could not have done it without his friends' help, and that he is glad to have friends that he can always count on. As the League prepare to rebuild the Batcave, Green Lantern shoots a beacon from his power ring into space in victory. The beacon is seen by an otherworldly being, who utters "I have located it", ending the movie.

==Differences between the game and the film==
*Overall, the characters have a higher model quality in the film version, with little scratches on their parts.
*The shot of Bruce Wayne's limo parking in front of the theater is a bit longer. Plus, the limo that Bruce rides in is black instead of white.
*In the game, Bruce Wayne kisses the awards host and gets interrupted by the Joker before he even gets to say a few words. In the film, he does not kiss the host and delivers a little speech before he gets interrupted by the Joker. The omission of this dialogue creates a plot hole in the game when Commissioner Gordon makes a reference to Bruce's speech at the end of the game.
*Robin doesn't join Batman in the theater in the film. Instead, he waits outside in his helicopter.
*In the film, Batman beats all the bad guys in the ballroom instead of fighting them all around the theater like in the game.
*In the game, Robin gets his helicopter destroyed and repaired. This scene is absent in the film.
*An additional scene is added in the film version where Lex Luthor hatches his plan at LexCorp. 
*During the Arkham Breakout, Robin and Batman split up instead of fighting the same villains. 
*Batman and Robin don't go inside Arkham Asylum and the battle with Scarecrow is thus omitted.
*Bane's Mole Machine is an alternate-colored and modified version of the 8960 Thunder Driller from Power Miners.
*Batman and Robin only use their regular attire, with Batman using the wing pack of his Bat Suit instead of using all his suits. (Although all of Batman's suits including the Classic Suit can be seen in the Batcave.)
*At Ace Chemicals, the Joker makes a picture of his face with chemicals, which is what caused the fire.
*Robin only carries one brick affected by the Deconstructor instead of carrying multiple samples.
*When Superman saves Batman and Robin, they immediately leave Ace Chemicals instead of slowly making their way out of the burning wreckage.
*The Kryptonite Joker creates is automatically revealed to be a tracking device.
*At the Juggernaut, only Batman fights the Joker.
*Joker says "No hard feelings?" after he shocks Batman instead of before.
*There's a beat pause between Robin's "you expect the worst from everybody" line and Batman's "...yeah" line.
*The Whirly Bat is multicoloured.
*Batman and Superman never board the VTOL.
*The LexCorp receptionist is a normal human and the battle with her robot form is omitted as such.
*Batman and Superman take the bus instead of traveling through the subway system.
*The gas only works for Joker and it makes people want him as president, unlike the game, where the victims wanted Lex as president.
*The multi-colored Batmobile is more colorful.
*When Wonder Woman holds up Wayne Tower, she is piloting the invisible jet.
*Cyborg uses his sonic laser cannon from "Teen Titans" instead of his laser eye beam.
*Before the giant robot is defeated in the game, the heroes destroy all the wirings on the robot, while in the film, The Flash simply removes all of the Kryptonite from the robot.
*The rain stops when the giant robot is defeated in the film while it continues raining in the game.
*The battle with Lex's power armour is omitted.
*After the final battle in the film, the Joker and Lex get arrested during sunrise instead of nighttime in the rain unlike the game.
== Notes ==
* A Clark Kent minifigure is included with the movie.
* The Dinosaur that Cyborg locks into a cage is set 4958 Monster Dino. The same scene appears in LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes.
* The United States of America's 44th president, Barack Obama, appeared on Lex Luthor's computer when he watched the presidential statistics.
* Just like in the game, when Superman throws Batman in the air on their way to Lexcorp, the shape of Batman's cape and cowl matches the bat-symbol of The Dark Knight trilogy.
* Even though the Flash is featured in LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, he makes his only speaking line in the film.
