Story[]

Gotham's playboy and philantrophist, Bruce Wayne is nominated for the Man of the Year award along with Metropolis' presidential candidate, Lex Luthor. The award goes to Bruce but then five villains (The Joker, The Penguin, Harley Quinn, The Riddler, Two-Face) begin terrorizing the guests. After changing into his Batman costume and eventually finding Robin they crash through the area in the Batboat. All of the villains except Harley escape but she is taken down along with all the other villains...that is except The Penguin who is crushed by the Batboat. The Joker is beaten but he escapes.

Walkthrough[]

You start at the Monarch Theatre. Eliminate all enemies in the location. After that, move to the right area of ​​the stage and use bricks to build a ladder. Use them to get on stage and start fighting Harley Quinn. To attack Harley, you must hold down the attack button, track the opponent and throw the Batarang or the Birdarang (meanwhile avoid Harley's hammers). Repeat this three times and she will fall through the trapdoor where the Joker came out. Jump down to move to the next area.

In the next area, save your game by using the save switch to your right to destroy the fences blocking your path. Hit the large golden instrument on the left until it is destroyed and you see the Riddler running away. After that, move to the place on the right where you will find an artificial castle. Eliminate all enemies and use a grapnel on the grapnel handle on the left. So, use it to climb the wall. Start moving in the right direction. When you get to the edge of the wall, use a grapnel on the grapnel handle on the left. When you get to the air, use a grapnel again on the grapnel handle on the right side. Move to the end of the wall, push the box down and use bricks to build a panel with the Sensor Suit for Batman. Put on your Sensor Suit, press the action button to make Batman invisible and move right under the camera. Enter the guard room, take out the guard, destroy an object to turn off a security camera, and start heading right. Use a grapnel on one of the grapnel handles under the ceiling, switch characters (press the alternate attack button) and do the same to him. Place Batman in the circle in front of a green wall and press the action button. You will see three small rooms. Look at the one with the Riddler and press the attack button to hit him with a heavy object. Repeat this action three times, the Riddler will start first in the room on the right, then in the one on the left and finally in the middle one. When the wall is destroyed, you will face the Riddler. Hit him three times to defeat him and destroy the green wall completely. Use the bricks to build an elevator and use it to reach the next area.

In the next area, destroy a red rickshaw near the entrance and use the bricks to build a panel with the Acrobat Suit for Robin. Put on your Acrobat Suit and Penguin Minions will attack you. Throw the pole through the white and blue hole in the left wall. Jump on it and start climbing to the upper floor by jumping to the next poles. On the upper floor you will have to fight Two-Face. Be careful of the bullets and use the bricks on the left and right side at the bottom of the screen to build a grapnel handle so Batman can use it to reach the upper floor. When Batman reaches the top floor, switch to him and use his Sensor Suit's invisibility to get past the entrance under the chandelier with Two-Face. When you enter the room, destroy all the items and build a platform. Switch to Robin, press the action button to transform the Acrobat Suit into an Acrobat Ball and move it over the platform to start running down. After a while, the chandelier with Two-Face on it will start to go down. Defeat Two-Face in a hand-to-hand fight and begin heading towards the doors at the top of the stairs. Here you will find two boxes, when you get close to them, attack them quickly (you can also use Batarang). Go through the doors to go to the final area of ​​the level.

In the final area of ​​the level you will have to face the Joker. When he paralyzes one of the heroes with his electric trick, switch characters and hit him. Repeat this three times and when he has one heart left, the Joker will jump into the projector. Move Batman to the green wall on the right and scan it. You have to put two red wires in the correct order. Press the attack button when you find one of these to rotate them and place them in the correct order so that the projector moves forward and the Joker flies towards the stage. At the end, get closer to where the projector was, use the bricks on the destroyed wall to build a rope, and use it to reach the stage and finish the level.
