Transcript[]
Gotham City News[]
- Vicki Vale: In its hour of need, Gotham looks to Batman. As super-villains run amok, it's time for our very own super-hero to save the day. And yet the Caped Crusader is nowhere to be seen. Batman, if you're listening, this is a bad time for a vacation! Gotham City needs you. We've got creeps on every corner. Clayface... Two-Face... All these dudes with weird faces. They're out, and they're causing trouble, and WE NEED YOU to stop them. C'mon, get back here!
Chasing the Joker Robot[]
- [Batman (driving a LexCorp Mini-VTOL that he stole from LexCorp) and Superman chase after the Joker Robot]
- [Lex Luthor is calm in the mech, until an intruder alert alarm is heard. He then presses the alarm to stop it]
- Lex Luthor: I thought I took care of him!
- The Joker: If I had a dollar for every time I've said that...
- [The Joker Robot positions itself in front of the heroes to confront them]
Trying to disable the thrusters[]
- [Chickens try to interrupt Batman, but he quickly exits the LexCorp Mini-VTOL and latches onto the Joker Robot. The LexCorp Mini-VTOL that Batman stole falls into the sea to its destruction]
Weakened Superman[]
- Lex Luthor: Keep flying. I'll deal with this.
- [Lex Luthor emerges from his turret and tricks Superman by opening a valve filled with Kryptonite]
- [Superman loses his power to fly, so he falls. Batman manages to remove a mechanism from the Joker Robot and escapes, dodging Lex Luthor's shots]
- [An altitude loss alarm sounds]
- Batman: Uh, Lex, we're losing altitude...
- [Lex returns to his turret. Superman continues to fall, but Batman catches him and activates his gliding wings. The Batman Theme Reprise plays]
- [The duo land on a safe Gotham City street, while Batman watches the Joker Robot fall into the background. The Batman Theme Reprise ends]
- Batman: You all right?
- Superman: Yeah, but being that close to the Kryptonite weakened me. I don't think I can fly yet.
- Batman: I guess we can get there some other way...
- [The level ends]
Story[]
Batman and Superman pursue the Joker Mech in the sky, causing the craft to lose altitude and crash into the ground.
Walkthrough[]
Level Prelude[]
After finishing the previous level, you will appear in the seas of Gotham. Fly as Superman and go towards the Joker Robot to start the level.
Level Walkthrough[]
You start by chasing the Joker Robot in the skies of Gotham. You will have to destroy enemy LexCorp Mini-VTOLs, Joker's Helicopters and the Joker Robot's weak points - they will be marked. You don't have to worry about getting hurt because Superman is resistant to normal weapons. However, the missiles can bother your eyes a bit, so it's best to shoot them. If you're having trouble hitting the missiles, you can switch to Batman, who is in a LexCorp Mini-VTOL. The helicopter's shots can mark the missiles you pass. At the beginning of the level, you will have to destroy two LexCorp Mini-VTOLs and a Joker's Helicopter, whose health bars are red. When you destroy them, the Joker Robot will move towards you. When it is close to you, you will have to hit its weak points, which are protected by silver grilles. This means they will deflect Superman's laser, so you'll have to destroy them with shots from the LexCorp Mini-VTOL that Batman stole. Their health bars are orange, but be careful because they can regenerate them if you don't shoot them for a long time. When you destroy a silver grate covering a weak spot, switch to Superman and use his laser to destroy the weak spot. When you destroy the first weak point, Joker Robot will move away from you and you will have to destroy two LexCorp Mini-VTOLs and two Joker's Helicopters. When you destroy these four enemies, Joker Robot will approach you again. Do the same thing you did with the previous weak point and it will move away from you again. Destroy three LexCorp Mini-VTOLs and two Joker's Helicopter and Joker Robot will approach you again. Survive the missiles it launches and wait for your character to approach the mech to move to the next area.
In the next area, use Batman's grappling hook on the orange ring of the LexCorp Mini-VTOL to the left and take out the LexCorp Pilot to cause the helicopter to crash. When the helicopter crashes and is destroyed, use Superman's Freeze Breath to put out the fire and use the bricks to build a panel with the Power Suit for Batman. Put it on as Batman and now aim for four silver bricks on the left robot's "shoulder blade." When some golden plates appear, destroy them with Superman's laser and pull an orange handle with one of the two characters. When you destroy the engine on the left, you will reveal the one on the right. Do the same again with the engine on the right to finish the level.
