Battle of Gotham City

The **Battle of Gotham City** was a huge battle from the Warner Bros. movie, *The Lego Batman Movie*. It deals with Batman and the villains of Gotham fighting together to save Gotham City from The Joker and the prisoners of the Phantom Zone.

## History

### Background

It all started when The Joker along with all the villains in Gotham City planned to take over Gotham City by threating to destroy it with a huge time bomb they made from stolen explosives which would cause the city to fall into the Eternal Abyss. However, they were all stopped and defeated by Batman but during the fight when Batman and Joker confronted each other, Joker tried to get Batman to admit that he was his greatest enemy. But Batman refused and told Joker that he meant nothing to him which deeply upset him. Wanting to prove his worth to Batman, Joker got an idea to destroy Gotham City again by using the villains from the Phantom Zone after watching a news report about it. To do that, Joker turned both himself and all the other villains in at Commissioner Gordon's retirement party with the exception of Harley Quinn who went undercover in disguise. This made Batman suspicious of Joker then after Harley in disguise tipped him off about the Phantom Zone, Batman decided to send Joker there by using a Phantom Zone projector. Which he decided to steal from Superman at his Fortress of Solitude using his newly adopted orphan son and sidekick, Robin. With help from Robin, Batman was able to steal the Phantom Zone projector from the Fortress of Solitude then both Batman and Robin tried to sneak into Arkham Asylum but where both caught by the new police commissioner of Gotham City and Batman's crush, Barbara Gordon. When she found out they had the Phantom Zone projector during a security check, Batman and Robin rushed through Arkham Asylum and the guards then when Batman confronted Joker, he manipulated Batman into using the Phantom Zone projector to send him to the Phantom Zone. As a result, both Batman and Robin were imprisoned in Arkham Asylum by Barbara who also took away the Phantom Zone projector.

### The Battle

After Joker arrives in the Phantom Zone he makes a deal with the Phantom Zone prisoners to work together, Escape the Phantom Zone, and destroy Gotham City. Harley Quinn then takes the Phantom Zone projector from the guards at Arkham Asylum and she uses it to release both Joker and all of the prisoners from the Phantom Zone who attack Gotham City then they take over both Wayne Manor and the Batcave. To stop them and save the city, Barbara releases both Batman and Robin from Arkham Asylum and makes Batman agree to reluctantly work together with her, Robin, and Batman's butler, Alfred who managed to escape from Mayne Manor after Joker and the Phantom Zone prisoners attacked the place and took it over and wears one of Batman's old suits. They try to get to Wayne Manor but are spotted by Sauron. They try to get to Wayne Manor on the Bat Scuttler but Joker and the Phantom Zone prisoners had completely changed the place and use all of Batman's vehicles to fight Batman and his team. Batman and his team are able to fight off the prisoners and destroy Sauron by tricking the Kraken into launching his fire breath at him. At first, Batman was happy that they all worked together and defeated Sauron but then starts to feel sad after they take a group photo. Batman then decides to face the Joker alone to get the Phantom Zone projector and sends Barbara, Robin, and Alfred away on the Bat Scuttler to keep them safe from danger. After sneaking into both Mayne Manor and the Batcave and confronting Joker, Joker sends him to the Phantom Zone using the Phantom Zone projector then goes to destroy Gotham City using the same bomb Joker used to try and destroy Gotham City from earlier. After arriving at the Phantom Zone and meeting Phyliss the talking brick who shows him his badness, Batman begins to realizes how horrible he was acting towards the people around him including Robin, Alfred, and even Joker. Meanwhile, Barbara makes the Bat Scuttler take her, Robin, Alfred back to the Wayne Manor so they can help Batman but in the process the Bat Scuttler gets destroy and they all get put in danger. So Batman decides to make up for it by making a deal with Phyliss to send him back and in return he will help catch all the Phantom Zone prisoners then return back with them. Batman then returns from the Phantom Zone and saves Barbara, Robin, and Alfred, he then apologizes to all for the way he was acting and reveals that the reason he acted so distant from them was because he was afraid of losing those close to him. He then convinces them all to work together with him and save Gotham City, he also calls all the Gotham City villains to come and help as well because of Joker abandoning them for the Phantom Zone prisoners. Everyone then builds high tech cars and weapons to fight off the Phantom Zone prisoners as Team Gotham Family with Barbara becoming Batgirl and Alfred wearing a butler themed batsuit. Then after getting back the Phantom Zone projector they use it to send all the Phantom Zone prisoners back to the Phantom Zone. However, the bomb goes off before Batman can defuse it and starts pulling all of Gotham City apart into the Eternal Abyss. So Batman convinces everyone in the city to work together and pull the city back together using themselves. He even convinces Joker to help after admitting to him that he is his greatest enemy and that if the city is destroyed then they will never fight each other again which allows all of them to succeed in saving Gotham City.

### Aftermath

With the city saved, Batman fulfilled his end of the bargain by returning back to the Phantom Zone after saying goodbye to Robin. However, Phyliss let him stay in Gotham City stating that he really was a hero after all. After that, Batman welcomed his new family team and let both Joker and all the villains go by giving them a thirty minute head start.
