- Vicki Vale: Lex Luthor's Presidential ambitions received a major setback today as a bizarre vote-rigging masterplan was uncovered, thanks to the intervention of Batman and Superman.

Story[]
In Robin's Batmobile and Cycle, the duo escapes from the Joker Mech. Meanwhile, Lex Luthor, the Joker, and the Joker Mech attract the attention of Martian Manhunter in the Justice League Watchtower. He then start calling all the Justice Leaguers, including Wonder Woman (who is flying), The Flash (who is dealing with Captain Boomerang), Green Lantern (who is dealing with space garbage) and Cyborg (who is capturing a robot). Then, Lex Luthor decides to destroy Bruce Wayne (Lex doesn't know Bruce Wayne is Batman) with the Deconstructor, and they travel to Wayne Enterprises.
Walkthrough[]
Level Prelude[]
After finishing the previous level, you will appear in Gotham Cathedral. Your goal is to find the Joker Robot. Hop on the Multi-Colored Batmobile or Robin's Motorbike and follow the ghost stud path to find the Joker Robot. When you find it, walk towards it to start the level.
Level Walkthrough[]
You start the level being chased by the Joker Robot on the streets of Gotham. It will shoot missiles at you. When you see one of the missiles, aim at it and shoot it to destroy it. When you see that your viewpoint has an orange arrow next to it, it means that a statue with a silver pillar is approaching. When you see the silver pillar, shoot it quickly and you will damage the Joker Robot, allowing you to attack its weak spot on its chest. Aim for its weak point, which is where the Kryptonite comes from, and attack it until its health bar runs out. If your vehicle does not damage it, try changing to another vehicle. When you remove the health bar from the weak point, repeat the same process two more times to finish the level.
