While Batman's (voiced by Troy Baker) is in the middle of warding off
his arch enemies trying to steal a priceless gem, he receives a visit from
Superman (Nolan North), who tries to persuade him to join the newly formed
Justice League. Batman declines, and then Superman disappears into thin
air. To find out where Superman has disappeared to, Batman visits the
other Justice League members, Aquaman (Dee Bradley Baker), Wonder Woman
(Grey Griffin), Cyborg (Khary Payton) and the Flash (James Arnold Taylor),
each presently busy stopping some major crime committed by their
respective arch enemies, and they also disappear before his very eyes, as
do landmarks of their respective towns. Eventually, Batman manages to
track this all back to his own biggest fan, Bat-Mite (Paul Reubens), an
all-powerful magic being who adores Batman so much that he time and again
provides him with bigger-than-life "adventures", just to see him
in action. And thus, he has captured all the other superheroes, put them
into a cage which he threatens to crush with a overly complicated
contraption built from all the landmarks shouldn't Batman save them. But
Batman decides the best thing to do is - nothing ... Now this
synopsis might sound like a throwback to 1950s style superhero comics when
they were still aimed firmly at kids, but actually this 25 minute short is
quite a bit better than its story might suggest - mainly because it
doesn't take itself seriously at all. In fact, everything here borders on
self-parody, not to such an extreme as the later Lego Batman Movie,
but certainly pointing that way. And the comedy is mostly kept topical,
too. Now I won't say this is great in the traditional sense of the word,
as fun as it is, it lacks any real highlights, but comicbook fans with a
sense of humour are bound to find this rather entertaining.
