Plot

Lex Luthor, after losing to Bruce Wayne for the Man of The Year award, decides to join forces with The Joker so as he can help become the next US President. After breaking Joker out of Arkham Asylum, along with many other notorious villains, Batman and Robin are called in. After cornering the dastardly duo within Lex's heavily armored truck, they find out that he's making kryptonite and take it back to the Bat Cave for research. It soon turns out that the is fake and is actually a tracking device that Joker and Luther used to locate the Bat cave. Overpowering the dynamic duo thanks to Luthor's latest weapon, The Deconstructor--which breaks down any black objects--they are able to steal the real stash of kryptonite Batman keeps in his safe.

Luthor and The Joker use the kryptonite to power a new highly powerful mech, built to feature the likeness of The Joker. After Batman's Batmobile was destroyed by Luthor, Robin sets to repair it while Superman also arrives to give Batman a hand in stopping The Joker and Luthor. Using The Joker's laughing gas from their newly built robot, Luthor attempts to influence the public into voting for him as President. Batman and Superman are always there to arrive to thwart their plans and inflict an increasing amount of damage to the robot. Eventually Luthor utilises the robot's kryptonite core to severely weaken Superman, hindering his ability fly. Still sticking by Batman, the two continue to do battle against the robot across the city.

After Superman dives right through the core, dealing critical damage to the mech but also weakening himself considerably, Robin manages to return just in time with Batman's newly rebuilt Batmobile - complete with a much brighter color scheme. Leading the mech around the city as it drips krytonite, the duo are able to cause the mech to inadvertently signal members of the Justice League to come to their aid. The combined power of Batman and Robin, along with Cyborg, The Flash, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman, are then able to soundly thrash the mech and take both The Joker and Lex Luthor down. But only as Brainiac watches from afar within his spaceship once again plotting to destroy Superman.
