Funny / LEGO DC Super-Villains

• The Joker provides a lot of laughs, especially when he's paired with Harley.
  • Interrupting Lex’s speech about forming a team of villains to defeat the Crime Syndicate by asking if apples come in bunches, only to be promptly shut up.
  • "Apokolips, Wow!" has the Rookie paired with the clown couple on Apokolips. That alone is funny enough, but if the player character has a clown/mime/jester motif, the level quickly becomes three random clowns fooling around on Apokolips just because they have nothing better to do!
• The fact that the game's "theme" song is "Joker and the Thief" by Wolfmother is funny enough. The fact that, in the Hall of Doom, the song plays on the radio by the main table? Hilarious.
• The final section of "Arkham Barely Believe It" involves Joker and Livewire being chased by a monstrous inmate who's been experimented on by Hugo Strange. Joker yells "Let's make like lightning and BOLT!" and Livewire gets annoyed...not at the pun, but the fact that she should have been the one to say it.
  • Furthermore, for fans of Batman: Arkham City, to hear the same voice actor who played Hugo Strange as a creepily monotone and emotionless sociopath to a Laughably Evil villain is worthy of a chuckle.
  Strange: (after the boss fight) Poor Robert. Perhaps some kind of rubber shoe?
• The Crime Syndicate’s reactions to being sent back to Earth-3 range from complaining about their lack of wi-fi to Power Ring clearly being happy about their struggle being over.
• "Happiness? I'm out." Literally Batman's first line at the beginning of the Justice League Story level "Granny Knows Best".
• Flash and Reverse Flash playing good cop and bad cop to Johnny Quick and Atomica. Only Flash is the Bad Cop and vice versa.
  • Flash posing as a villain by stealing ice cream to interrogate Johnny Quick.
• The Funny Background Event of Batgirl and Nightwing trying to sneak away in plain sight while Lois Lane reports their failure to defeat the bad guys in the news report before "S.T.A.R.S. in Your Eyes".
  • To elaborate; in the foreground, Lois attempts to call Batgirl, who answers in the background as Barbara Gordon, prompting Lois to apologize and hang up, at which point Batgirl realizes Jimmy filmed the whole call.
• If the player chooses to stay a bad guy, Batman will complain that he hates it when he's right.
  • Conversely, if the player becomes a hero, the villains all quickly leave Metropolis... except for Captain Cold, who’s just standing there before he realizes that everyone left.
• In the side quest to unlock Bronze Tiger, you have to interview five Parademons to provide Bronze Tiger with information useful in defeating Stompa. One of the Parademons will claim that The Power of Love can stop her.
• Darkseid and the other Apokolips villains becoming good after their exposure to the Mother Box that had come into contact with the Rookie, leading to some funny scenes.
• Cyborg impersonating Granny Goodness in a Justice League level when speaking to Virman Vundabar. Virman falls for it.
• The Wayne Manor questline involves helping a bunch of crooks find evidence that Bruce Wayne is hiding something. After failing to recognize several blatant pieces of evidence, the main crook finally realizes that Bruce Wayne is none other than... Man-Bat! Cue a follow-up quest outside the manor, where you help a bunch of goons set a trap for him, using a cage, an electric fence, and a mousetrap.
• The entire Monarch Theater questline, from the fact that the play in question is "Crime Alley: the Musical" to the texts you get after finishing it.
• The Iceberg Lounge sidequest has you set up the lounge to the specifications of a shark that wants to prove how great his singing is compared to the penguins' lounge music. This includes setting up spotlights, a microphone, and a billboard reading "Sharky".
• One of the things you can do while running around the Hub Level is literally taking candy from a baby. The best part? This action is not limited to the villain characters. You can make Superman, of all characters, do it.
• At the end of "Fight at the Museum", as Joker is offering Black Adam a place on the villains' team, Harley is skating around wearing an Anubis mask that she took from an exhibit and has some visible difficulty taking it off that causes her to trip.
  • In the same vein, during "Granny Knows Best", Grail reveals herself while disguised as a wall-mounted bust of Granny Goodness, and she likewise finds that the bust head is stuck on her own when she tries to take it off and stays this way for the beginning of the fight. Unlike the above example, the bust head also appears as a customization piece for the Rookie.
• The text messages you can receive after completing quests can be very amusing.
  • A thief that you helped steal a LexCorp jet tries to get it out of the hangar... and the wings prevent it from getting through the gate. He later texts you that he got it out after sawing the wings off and asks if you know anyone in the market for a slightly-used $1m private jet.
  • After the quest to unlock Trigon, his following texts are in all caps and he ends all of them with "LOL". He asks if you've seen Raven because she's not taking his calls and he says their relationship is strained.
  • After helping a woman who was locked out on a balcony, she later messages you that she somehow locked herself inside her hotel room. The next message is asking you not to tell her wife because they can't keep paying for key deposits.
  • A series of quests in Smallville has a pair of prospectors finding what they believe is kryptonite but is actually priceless emeralds that they don't care much for. Doctor Poison shows up to take the emeralds and later texts you, after finding that they're not kryptonite, that she's considering leaving the morally ambiguous biological weapon industry for the morally ambiguous fashion industry.
  • Getting Gold Bricks in Smallville gives you news updates related to your antics. In particular, one that required you to ride a pig tries to pin the pigs' behavior on global warming.
  • One Gold Brick on Apokolips is followed by a grammatically-challenged Parademon telling you that he hopes your toes fall off.
• One level is simply called "The One with the T-Rex Mech". An apt title as the level does indeed contain a T-Rex mech.
• Commissioner Gordon is talking to Owlman after the latter captures most of the villains at the Iceberg Lounge. Midway through the conversation, Gordon is surprised and confused that Owlman hasn't pulled a Stealth Hi/Bye like Batman usually does.
  Owlman: Everything okay?
  Commissioner Gordon: Yeah sure, it's just Batman usually... leaves... suddenly...
• King Shark's bio takes special care to mention that yes, he is indeed a shark.
• Ares' quest involves finding out how to spread conflict among modern-day millennials. The questline is basically one long parody/Take That! of/at internet culture. Highlights include an Amazon considering herself famous because her picture got thirteen likes and Ares concluding that hipsters hate people as much as people hate them.
  • And what is Ares' idea for spreading conflict at the end? Create a movie that is aimed at a wide audience and then going on social media and complaining about it. In his words, "much shade will be thrown."
  • Bringing up someone nostalgic for the Golden Age of Comics to Ares will result in him passing it off as one of Wonder Woman’s attempts to make him 'feel'. Even funnier if you’re playing as Wonder Woman during this quest.
• An unintentional one; every character has a short bio, to introduce players to less well-known characters. This includes the other custom characters to Rookie, who each just use a generic supervillain intro, which can lead to an amusing situation where the custom characters end up with bios that in no way match how the character was deigned, particularly if you were to use the custom slots to make established characters, such as Batman Beyond.
• One quest in Smallville involves helping a lady locked outside of her house get back in. When her wife comes home, she tells her that she just wanted to go outside to see the beautiful view. Cut to the view from outside being nothing special.
• During the events of "The One with the T-Rex Mech", one of Deathstroke’s soldiers is a ninja chicken. A few levels later during "Steppenwolf Surprise", said chicken happens to be sided with the villains. This is never discussed.
  • Just before this scene, Batman throwing a bunch of Batarangs at Deathstroke, all of which miss, before Joker just uses his joy buzzer on him.
• This exchange during the second level:
  Riddler: Riddle me this: What kind of police department has such an elaborate and over the top security system?
  Scarecrow: One that's based in Gotham City.
  Riddler: Point taken.
