Lego DC Comics Superheroes: Justice League - Gotham City Breakout Page #3

I'm Superman.

Yes, I know who you are.

I'm filling in for the Dark Knight

while he's away on vacation.

Vacation?

You know, Batman cannot say

enough good things about you.

He's practically chatty about it!

Well, for Batman, anyway.

Are we talking about the same guy?

What seems to be the problem,

Commissioner?

- Robin? I thought you were...

- Homework done!

Time to fight some crime.

It's the Joker.

That madcap madman

has escaped from Arkham Asylum. Again!

The Joker!

That's about as serious as it can get.

We'd better contact Batman

and inform him of...

What? And ruin his vacation? Nonsense!

The Joker's the guy

in the clown makeup, right?

He may look like a clown,

but he's no joke.

Batman has a specific

Joker protocol to follow.

First we round up his known associate...

We are not rounding up anything,

Boy Wonder.

Hello? It's a school night.

A growing boy needs eight hours of sleep.

I think I can handle this non-powered

clown all by myself, thank you.

(GROANS)

Well, if Batman must be out of town,

it's good to know he left Gotham

in the capable hands of a hero like...

Oh.

- You're still here.

- Why wouldn't I be?

I don't know, I thought you'd be gone.

You were still talking.

That'd be incredibly rude.

Besides, what if you said

something important?

Well, I try not to save

any important information till the end.

Never mind. Just go get the Joker.

And good luck!

No need for luck, Commissioner.

Superman is on the case!

I'll have the Joker back in Arkham

and Robin off to bed in no time.

Come, Boy Wonder.

So, that's what it's like

to finish a conversation.

Hmm. Not bad.

Hmm.

Deathstroke's tracks lead here.

Just as I feared.

Holy hole in the wall!

Wow. You actually say things like that.

I do not say "Holy" all the time.

I said it a couple times back when

I was Robin and it became a "thing."

I really never do it.

But, come on, I mean, look at this.

We'll need the Bat Hover Boat

to follow Deathstroke

and his Trogowog accomplice

where they're going.

Where are we going to get a hovercraft

in the middle of, uh, nowhere?

Wow.

This sort of thing really shouldn't come

as a surprise to you by now.

Listen carefully.

Where we're about to go

will test the limits of your mind.

What we're about to experience

will test the fortitude of your very soul.

You will not simply gaze

upon the secrets and mysteries

that lie beyond these walls.

They will gaze into you.

There's no dishonor in backing out...

- I'm in!

- Let's do this!

Joker, Joker, Joker.

- Where is the Joker?

- (CELLPHONE RINGING)

Superman's cell phone.

Superman speaking, how can I help you?

- It's Robin.

- Hi, Robin.

- Wait. Isn't it your bedtime?

- (ROBIN BRUSHING TEETH)

(SPITS) Working on it.

Have you found the Joker yet?

It's not easy.

It's so dark and gritty here in Gotham.

Metropolis is all clean and white.

- It's easier to pick out the criminals.

- (JOKER CACKLING MANIACALLY)

Bingo! There he is.

I'll have him locked up in no time.

Be careful, Superman.

The Joker is one of

Batman's trickiest foes.

Yes, I'm sure a non-powered foe

can be a challenge for a non-powered hero.

Gotta go, bad guy to catch.

Oh, Spoony, isn't it wonderful?

With Batsy gone,

all of Gotham is our own funhouse.

There's nothing fun about crime, Joker.

(GASPS) Look, Spoony.

Batsy decided to leave Little Boy Blue

to watch the house while he's away.

(MOCK VOICE) This is gonna be fun.

Uh, yes, well, the only fun you

and your, uh, spoon will be having

is back in your cell at Arkham.

(NORMAL VOICE)

No, you'll never take us back there.

Spoony will never allow it.

Give up now, Joker. I have superpowers,

and all you have is a...

- A spoon.

- Superpowers? Like what?

(MOCK VOICE)

Can you grow money from trees?

Well, no.

Can you make dogs invisible?

Spoony, that's not even a real superpower.

(NORMAL VOICE)

Perhaps a demonstration for Spoony?

Well, I can shoot super-hot beams

from my eyes with super-accuracy.

(MOCK VOICE)

Oh, really? Prove it, you big goof.

(ALL CACKLING)

(SIGHS)

- Whoops.

- (NORMAL VOICE) Oh, well done, Spoony.

- (MOCK VOICE) Thanks, Super-sucker.

- (SIGHS)

Batman will not be happy about this.

All right, Joker, you may have tricked me

once or twice.

I'm starting to see why

the Bat bunch wanted that vacation.

How do you like your vacation so far?

Beautiful surroundings,

a touch of adventure.

- Waterfall!

- Waterfall?

(BATGIRL AND NIGHTWING YELLING)

(INHALING DEEPLY)

(CONTINUE YELLING)

- Come on.

- Okay, this thing is bottomless.

A bottomless pit

is a spatial impossibility.

This is just a very, very, very deep hole.

(BEEPING)

You know, your secrets have gazed into me,

enough already.

When are you going to tell us

what's really going on here?

I've not yet deduced the end

of this mystery.

But the beginning of it began long ago,

- when Deathstroke and I were best friends.

- BOTH:
Huh?

It all started when I had just become

a student at Madame Mantis' dojo.

I remember it so clearly.

Our very first class together was

Arts and Crafts.

Time's up, miserable rookies.

Show me your art now.

Hmm. Not bad, rich kid.

You are a regular Michelangelo

in papier-mch.

From now on, I'll call you Batface.

Show me yours, sourpuss.

Ah! Scary.

I'm not finished,

I only painted half of it.

Believe me, it won't help.

You'll be the death of me, boy.

That's so terrifying,

it almost gave me a stroke.

From now on, I'll call you Strokedeath.

Oh. That sounds weird.

How about Deathstroke?

- Strokedeath!

- Ow!

BATMAN:

Madame Mantis' preferential treatment of me

eventually set the stage

for my relationship with Slade.

(GROANING)

Very good, Batface.

You have mastered all the techniques

I have given you.

There is but one skill left...

- The forbidden move.

- (GASPS)

I would be honored to learn

whatever Madame Mantis deems fit.

No, I have been here longer.

I am the senior student.

You have to teach me the technique first.

I teach what I teach

to those ready to be taught.

And you are not ready, Strokedeath.

It's Deathstroke

and I'm ready for anything.

I am Slade Wilson.

I am the best at everything I do,

and you waste your senile talents

on this fool?

I don't need you

or your stupid forbidden move.

I'll become the greatest fighter

the world has ever known,

and I'll do it on my own.

BATMAN:

I didn't see Slade again for years.

The next time I saw him,

he had become Deathstroke,

the world's most deadly mercenary.

- Okay, wow, you were a kid once?

- What about that Trogowog dude?

To be continued.

(CONTINUE YELLING)

(ALL GRUNT)

BATMAN:

Welcome to the land of the Trogowogs.

A secret world protected by Madame Mantis

and hidden from the corruptive influence

of mankind.

(DEATHSTROKE LAUGHING)

Welcome, Batman.

Don't move, I've got you

right where I want you.

Huh?

- Who's got who?

- I've got you.

(TROGOWOGS GROWLING)

Oh, how I love a surprise party.
