For example, they told us that Bruce's parents died at 10:47 PM, Ra's al Ghul doesn't remember his true name, and Penguin always carries an umbrella because his mother always told him to because his dad died of pneumonia. When they include ''that'' particular piece of information, you know they've done the research.
Added DiffLines:
** Several parts of levels are confusing since the typical ColorCodedForYourConvenience mechanics are difficult to identify due to lighting. Other puzzles are easily overlooked, since they involve repeating an action which granted you something important to the level and give you a minikit the next time, or recreating a condition of the level which goes against the player's instincts to move on (since the games are normally very linear). One that falls under both types of this confusion is in the fourth level of ''Batman 2'', in Mr. Freeze's section of the level. A frozen wall needs to be climbed over the cell to reach a switch that will turn off the electricity on the ladder leading to it. This will melt the ice wall, however, and the player has to use Robin's Ice Suit to refreeze said water. However, the lighting makes it difficult to see the bouncing blue studs indicating freezable water, and it's easy to forget that you can do so at all, since the cutscene emphasizes it melting.

* TheAce: Batman.
* BadassAdorable: Batman.
* BadassAdorable: Batman.
* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: The first two games feature bat-suit powerups with different abilities (one set for Batman and Batgirl; another for Robin and Nightwing). The third game gives such suits to Joker, Lex Luthor, and Cyborg in addition to Batman and Robin, but Nightwing and Batgirl no longer have access to them, and alternate versions of Batman and Robin -- Batman (Zur-En-Arrh), Robin (1966), etc. -- only have one suit with a mixture of powers.
* DevelopersForesight: When distance-tagging (the ability to tag to another character without standing next to them) was introduced, you may have thought about using this to tag yourself out of falling to your death. However, if the death has already been registered by the game, you'll lose your studs anyway and you will be left at 12.5% health as a punishment.
* LighterAndSofter: Compared to the actual movies. ''Especially'' compared to ''Film/TheDarkKnightSaga''.
* {{Nerf}}: The Riddler, Mad Hatter and Scarecrow lost all special abilities in ''Batman 2'', save for the puzzle boxes only Riddler could open. This is amended in ''Batman 3'' where Hatter and Riddler regain their mind control, and Riddler has a throwable cane and super senses, while Hatter gains playing cards to throw. Scarecrow makes no appearance at all outside of the Nolanverse DLC character, though that version has explosives.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Creator/SteveBlum and Creator/ChristopherCoreySmith both channel Creator/MarkHamill as the Joker, with Blum also channeling a combination of [[Series/{{Batman}} Burgess Meredith]] and [[Film/BatmanReturns Danny DeVito]] as the Penguin. And, of course, Creator/RobPaulsen as the Riddler is doing his Creator/JimCarrey impression mixed with a bit of Creator/GilbertGottfried. Creator/LauraBailey channels both [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries Arleen Sorkin]] and Creator/TaraStrong as Harley Quinn.
* ProductPlacement: ''Batman'' was timed to tie in with ''Film/TheDarkKnight'' and ''Batman 2'' with ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises''. While the third was not released around the time of any film, it was released in [[MilestoneCelebration honor of Batman's 75th anniversary]]; it also had DLC promoting ''The Dark Knight'', ''Man of Steel'', ''Arrow'', and the then-upcoming ''Suicide Squad''.
* RunningGag: Killer Moth's obsession with lightbulbs starts in ''Batman 2'', and occurs twice in ''Batman 3''.
* TheStoic: Batman.
* SuperDrowningSkills: Characters automatically drown if they swim too far away from shore, which acts as an InvisibleWall. Fine, except that it also applies to characters like Aquaman and Killer Croc who couldn't drown if they tried.
* SupermanStaysOutOfGotham: While the first ''LEGO Batman'' played this trope straight by featuring only Gotham characters, ''LEGO Batman 2: DC Superheroes'' averts this by having other members of the Justice League come into play. In fact, a major part of the story is Batman's unwillingness to call for help when he needs to until the end.
* TeamworkPuzzleGame
* WolverinePublicity: ''LEGO Batman 2'' and ''3'' drift away from being Batman-centric stories, but Batman is still the main character and they haven't renamed the series ''LEGO DC Super Heroes'' or ''LEGO Justice League'' or anything like that.
* XRayVision: Batman's Sensor Suit in ''LEGO Batman 2'' and ''3'' gives you this ability. When facing a character, they are shown as skeletons. Used to creepy effect in the Scarecrow fight in ''Batman 2'', where he uses fear gas to make himself look giant. The Sensor Suit is used in that section, and fighting the mooks as Batman renders them as skeletons while a giant Scarecrow laughs in the background.

For most of them, you can just fly to the end, switch to a character with the appropriate power, and use it there. There are some things that can't be cheated, like the switches that require the Acrobat Ball (exclusive to the Acrobat Suit), walking on electrified areas (Electricity Suit), firing explosives at things above the ground (Power Suit), spraying chemicals (Hazard Suit), or invisibility (Sensor Suit).
* EverybodyLaughsEnding
* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: One of the only cases of minifigure dismemberment that comes off as disturbing is one of Robin's "grab" moves: He pulls off the target's head, bounces it on his leg like a soccer ball, and kicks it behind him, and the victim then falls apart. Made worse by the victim's disembodied head shouting while being kicked around, and their headless body lying flat on the ground.
* FlamingEmblem: In the fifth level, The Joker creates one with the [[TechnicolorScience chemicals]] at the plant in the image of his face as a calling card. [[spoiler:Batman uses this against Joker later on by making the Joker Robot chase him around the city (while damaging it to make it leak Kryptonite) in a path that makes it draw a giant glowing green image of his face. This makes it [[GondorCallsForAid visible to Martian Manhunter]] in space, and he dispatches the [[BigDamnHeroes Justice League]] to Gotham because he thinks the Joker made the emblem.]]
* GameplayAndStorySegregation:
** Superman is able to easily fly while carrying Batman and Robin during the cutscenes because, well, he's Superman. However, in the game, he's unable to do so, making you walk as any other character.
** Harley Quinn is not immune to chemicals, despite one of her signature abilities being the AcquiredPoisonImmunity granted to her by Poison Ivy's injections.
** TheStinger features Brainiac approaching Earth and saying something to the effect of "I have found it." Never mind that the player probably already unlocked him as a playable character several hours ago.
* GroinAttack: One of Batman's special attacks is to grab a mook by the shoulders, lift him up, stick out a leg under the mook, and then bring the mook down hard.
* HubLevel: All of Gotham City as a WideOpenSandbox.
* HulkSpeak: Killer Croc.
* HumongousMecha: The gigantic robotic Joker.
* IdiotBall:
** Invoked a couple of times to keep the status quo. The most notable instance being, after destroying the Batcave, Luthor and Joker notice it's underneath Wayne Manor. Rather than realizing the obvious, Luthor just mutters "I really despise that guy." The best part? Seen from above, Wayne Manor is shaped like ''the Bat-symbol''.
** Joker gets a brief one when tricked into leaking Kryptonite from his robot into the Gotham streets in a pattern of his face. He likes it, but is immediately corrected by Luthor that he made a symbol visible to Martian Manhunter in space, who then dispatches the Justice League.
* IFellForHours: The penultimate level in ''LEGO Batman 2''. Wayne Tower is really, really tall.
* KingKongClimb: One of the achievements involves recreating this scene by playing a female character, commandeering a gorilla from the zoo, and climbing to the top of Wayne Tower.
* KnightOfCerebus: Lex Luthor. Not only does he manage to destroy the Batcave, but plans to bomb entire cities with Joker gas to promote his campaign, with Gotham [[DisproportionateRetribution taking the worst of it simply for snubbing him at an award ceremony]].
* KryptoniteFactor: The only thing that can hold back Superman is Kryptonite which makes him flinch and retreat. Luthor and Joker find a way to make Kryptonite a weakness for Batman by discovering that its energy can easily destroy shiny black objects like most of Batman's arsenal.
* KryptoniteIsEverywhere: There are several sequences wherein Superman is BroughtDownToBadass because the nasty green rock is nearby.
* KryptoniteProofSuit: [[spoiler:Due to Luthor and Joker destroying most of the Bat-vehicles with the Deconstructor ray (which destroys shiny black LEGO constructions), Batman uses Robin's brightly-colored ones instead and Robin rebuilds the Batmobile in the same style.]]
* LargeHam: The Riddler.
-->'''Riddler:''' Riddle me this, what's green, and in your... WALLET!?!\\
'''Civilian:''' Um... M-money?\\
'''Riddler:''' Um... No. NOT '''''ANYMORE'''''!
* MarathonLevel: The level "Chemical Crisis" has four distinct sections, each of which is very long. Expect to take over half an hour to clear on story mode. Even more, the stud count required for Super Hero is a whopping ''313,000'', which is several times higher than the usual number. Smashing everything for money adds 10 minutes you don't need to each section.
* MissionControl: Alfred Pennyworth.
* MythologyGag:
** The game uses Creator/DannyElfman's music from ''Batman'' and ''Batman Returns'', and music from Music/JohnWilliams' 1978 ''Film/{{Superman}}'' score. In addition, the opening sequence of ''LEGO Batman: The Movie - DC Superheroes Unite'' is a LEGO-fied version of the opening sequence to the 1989 film.
** Joker mentions that Lex is running for President, something that he's done in the comics and attempted in [[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague at least one adaptation]].
** At one point in the game, Vicki Vale talks about all the various villains running amok in the city causing havoc. She mentions a plan by Gotham's mayor to "[[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity Wall off a portion of the city to use as a prison]]," but says that he never went through with it as it would probably cause more problems.
** The news-scroll beneath one of the Vicki Vale segments says the Dog of the Year Award nominees are [[ComicBook/KryptoTheSuperdog Krypto]], Ace and Stretch-O-Mutt, the latter of whom only exists in the ''WesternAnimation/KryptoTheSuperdog'' cartoon.
** Lex suspects that if he kills Batman, Robin will take up his mantle, much like he did after ''ComicBook/FinalCrisis''.
* NoOSHACompliance:
** The Batcave. Try walking as Batman to get an air vehicle. Often times you fall into the shark-infested waters of the Batcave.
** Ace Chemicals. Justified in that it's where Joker was created, so it's obviously unsafe. Even without the chemical spills Joker caused.
* NoodleIncident:
** After the Man of the Year awards are interrupted at the beginning of the game, it's mentioned that this is the fifth time that the awards have been held in Gotham, and the second time that they have been interrupted by a supervillain attack.
** In a cutscene, Batman mentions he and Robin have broken their legs before, after Robin said they would have broken their legs jumping off a burning building without Superman's help.
** In the crawling text of the news, they mention various supervillain team-ups, such as Black Adam and Black Manta, and Gorilla Grodd and Brainiac. No details are given except they were pretty bad.
** Also in the news, Vicki Vale mentions that releasing mind-altering gas via a giant robot to affect the election was specifically outlawed after last year's mayoral campaign.
* PaperThinDisguise: Batman [[spoiler:and Superman are able to disguise themselves as one another by simply pulling off their cowl/hair and switching them.]]
* RadiationImmuneMutants: The characters that will not be hurt by chemicals are the Joker, Poison Ivy (both of whom can safely swim in chemical pools), and Killer Croc (who sinks and can walk on the bottom of the pools). Every other character will get hurt by contact, and if in a pool, will drown in them.
* RammingAlwaysWorks: How Bane is defeated in ''LEGO Batman: The Movie.'' Inverted when Batman rams the Juggernaut after taking the [[spoiler:fake]] Kryptonite on board, only for Joker to get furious and pull out the Deconstructor.
* RedOniBlueOni: Joker acts as the red to Lex Luthor's blue.
* RoleReprisal: Creator/ClancyBrown, well known for voicing Lex Luthor, reprises the role.
* RunTheGauntlet: The "Arkham Asylum Antics" mission has Batman do this.
* SceneryPorn: LEGO Gotham. The environment in Gotham is gorgeously atmospheric, dark, rainy, and the hints of a sunset or sunrise in the background. The orange glow in the city looks amazing, and the Gotham Funland has its own kind, since it's a creepy carnival.
* SecretCharacter: Brainiac.
* SeparatedByACommonLanguage: While the developers do well in avoiding their native British terminology for US players, ''LEGO Batman 2'' refers to Batman and Joker's amusement-park vehicles as dodgems, while the US calls them bumper cars.
* SequelEscalation: ''LEGO Batman'' was mostly mission-based and had hero and villain stories. While the sequel discards the villain stories altogether, they added an open-world Gotham to explore and actual speaking.
* SequelHook: Green Lantern shooting a beam off into space [[spoiler:and cutting to Braniac in his spaceship looking down at Earth]].
-->[[spoiler:'''Brainiac:''' I have located it.]]
* SuddenlyVoiced: This is the first VideoGame/LEGOAdaptationGame where the characters have intelligible dialogue instead of being {{Heroic Mime}}s or SpeakingSimlish.
* TechnicolorToxin: Courtesy of Ace Chemicals and the Joker. The chemicals come in bright green, purple, orange, red, and blue, although only purple, orange, and green chemicals are encountered in the open world.
* ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman:
** Some characters, like Mr. Freeze, will always be chosen in free play because of their abilities.
** In certain areas, Joker-faced/Two-Face-faced/Riddler graffiti can only be removed by the TropeNamer himself -- and {{lampshade|Hanging}}d at at least one point using the very name of this trope.
* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: The sandbox elements make it possible for [[TheCape Superman]] to [[{{Superdickery}} steal the Batmobile and go on a]] [[BloodlessCarnage bloodless killing spree]]. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJsE2JNhWco#t=106s No, really]].
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: Averted by Lex Luthor, who simply drops a massive object on Batman without even stopping to gloat. It even catches the Joker by surprise.
* WideOpenSandbox: A large open Gotham City that you use to transfer between story missions, and boasts a large amount of puzzle content and collectables, as well as mini boss fights that get you new villain characters.
-->'''Batman:''' We ''have'' to stop them.\\
'''Superman:''' [[SarcasmMode You think]]?
* ColossusClimb: A variation, where the heroes walk on the Joker Robot's back while it flies to destroy its boosters.
* CurbStompBattle: ''LEGO Batman 2'' and its movie adaptation have Batman defeat The Riddler, Catwoman, Harley Quinn, several {{Mooks}}, Penguin and Two-Face in a few minutes.
* DarkerAndEdgier: The heroes lose more than once, there's a genuine sense of danger (even a couple of {{Disney Death}}s), Batman's personal flaws such as his refusal to accept help and paranoia of others are directly responsible for everything that goes wrong and Lex Luthor's threat is played completely straight.
* DeadpanSnarker: Vicki Vale.
* DegradedBoss: All returning bosses like Penguin and Scarecrow return and can be defeated through simple punches like the regular mooks. Somewhat understandable as most of them return only as part of the villains sidequest and not in the main story. Less understandable is several of them losing their special abilities like Mad Hatter, Scarecrow and Riddler not being able to possess people anymore and getting no replacement ability except for Riddler with his riddle boxes.
* DevelopersForesight:
** Superman is the only character that can damage General Zod and vice versa.
** When flying around Arkham Asylum, you'll notice that the broken walls of the cells are there from the breakout at the beginning.
** In ''Batman 2'' & ''3'', they created separate icons for when the player's character transforms or has on a different suit. So, for example, when you use Plastic Man's space hopper transformation, the icon in the upper corner will change accordingly.
* DistressedDamsel / DistressedDude: The game is filled with "Citizens in Peril" that the player can help out of trouble for gold bricks.

* DynamicLoading: The Slideways Teleporters are used to go to other hub areas. Instead of sending you to a black screen with game hints, you are treated to a portal sequence, in which the player characters hurtle through a purple tunnel, and can be moved around before reaching the next area.

* EnemyMine: The Justice League (mainly Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Cyborg, Green Lantern, and Martian Manhunter) and Robin team up with the Joker's group (Killer Croc, Solomon Grundy, Cheetah, Firefly, and Lex Luthor) after the villains' invasion on the Watchtower is interrupted by Brainiac shrinking the Earth.
* ExaggeratedTrope: The emotions associated with the [[Comicbook/GreenLantern emotional spectrum]] get this treatment when the characters are irradiated with the respective colors. The Joker (violet) becomes a LoveFreak, Lex Luthor (indigo) is compassionate to the point of feeling sorry for everyone, Solomon Grundy (blue) becomes ThePollyanna, Cyborg (yellow) turns into a CowardlyLion, Flash (orange) becomes so greedy that even when he's praised he takes this as something no one else should have, and Wonder Woman becomes obnoxiously angry.

* MindControlEyes: The various characters under Brainiac's mind control have glowing rays of green around their blank white eyes.
* MissionControl: Bat-mite gives the hints, and Conan O'Brien guides you around some hub areas.
* MissingTrailerScene: Some variant comic book covers were created for the promotion of ''Batman 3'', to be released as normal comics. Each cover featured the minifigure counterpart of a DC character, and these characters appear in the game -- except the New 52 design of Harley Quinn seen on one cover. It's since been revealed that she's a DLC character.
* TheMusicMeister: The Music Meister himself is a playable character.
* MythologyGag:
** In the trailer when Martian Manhunter [[AvengersAssemble summons the League]], Cyborg is working on [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans the T-Car]].
** Adam West!Batman can throw a bomb. Like the kind that [[Film/BatmanTheMovie some days you just can't get rid of]].
** Joker mentions that [[WesternAnimation/BatmanMaskOfThePhantasm he once had a jetpack, until Batman hitched a ride on it]].
** The cowl of Batman's Sonar Batsuit heavily resembles the one from ''Batman vs Predator''.
* NoSell: All weapon shots and fireballs aimed at Frankenstein will be deflected by his sword, making melee fighting (punches as a bigfig) the only way to kill him. Of course, this isn't very important, since Frankenstein is only a Free Play character, so fighting him will only happen when screwing around in the open world with him as a second character, or a multiplayer opponent.
* OverlyLongGag: The end credits are a callback to the Adam West series with Batman and Robin scaling a wall and speaking with people as they look out of their window. Only the credits are so long that various encounters loop several times.
* RightBehindMe: Happens twice to Kevin Smith when laughing about the lameness of Polka-Dot Man and Condiment King. He says "...he's behind me, isn't he?" both times, and the miniboss battles are triggered.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: The Reach, long time enemy and origin to Blue Beetle, antagonize the Blue Lanterns.
* RoleReprisal: The majority of the voice actors in ''Batman 3'' have had a history voicing those characters. Several voice actors from the ''Arkham'' games reprise their roles as some of the Bat-rogues.
** Creator/ClancyBrown as [[Franchise/{{DCAU}} Lex Luthor]].
** Creator/TaraStrong as [[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity Harley Quinn]].

** Creator/JBBlanc as [[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamOrigins Bane]].
** Kimberly Brooks as [[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum Batgirl]] [[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity (sort of)]].
* TheStoic: Batman. This works to his advantage, as the malfunctioning Lantern Rings don't amplify his emotions because Batman hides away his emotions. [[spoiler:However, he has to allow his emotions to come to the surface in order to retrieve the Sinestro Corps' power battery.]]
* TakeThat:
** Creator/KevinSmith rants about having to include polar bears in his Superman movie.
** You get to destroy the Tumbler and build the Batmobile from its pieces.
** Kevin Smith's film reel is stolen and destroyed by Catwoman. Her response?
-->'''Catwoman:''' That reel was a CAT-astrophe, darling. And believe me, I know a thing or two about [[{{Film/Catwoman}} bad movies]].
* TookALevelInJerkass: Wonder Woman, due to the malfunctioning Lantern Rings amplifying her anger.
* TookALevelInKindness: The Joker, Lex Luthor and Solomon Grundy, due to the malfunctioning Lantern Rings amplifying their positive emotions (Love for Joker, compassion for Lex and Hope for Grundy).
* UnexpectedCharacter:
** Obscure silly characters (Detective Chimp and Condiment King).
** Un-superpowerd celebrities (Creator/KevinSmith and Creator/ConanOBrien).
** WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck with a ComicBook/GreenLantern ring (named "Green Loontern"), as seen in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/DuckDodgers''.
** Terry [=McGinnis=], along with some of his ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' co-stars, can also be purchased and unlocked.
* WackyWaysideTribe: The Reach, enemies of the Blue Beetle, end up attacking the Blue Lanterns. They aren't foreshadowed and they are quickly defeated and forgotten. Their sole purpose is to give a threat to face when retrieving Saint Walker as the Blue Lanterns have no reason to be hostile like the others. (Violet Lanterns overreacting, Indigo Lanterns having their HeelFaceBrainwashing undone and the Yellow, Orange and Red Lanterns being themselves.)
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Firefly is a member of Joker's group of villains, and even a boss fight, but he never appears in the story once the heroes and villains team up, and he can only be unlocked in Free Play. This is likely due to his lack of unique abilities, but even so, he's promptly dropped from the story after the level he appears in.
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Mr. Freeze has a very ...''European'' accent. It sounds like [[WesternAnimation/DespicableMe Gru]] with a more German influence.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: Mentioned when Batman and Robin confront Killer Croc and he's much bigger than usual. This was because Croc's LEGO form in ''LEGO Batman 1 and 2'' was a normal LEGO figure, before ''VideoGame/LEGOMarvelSuperHeroes'' introduced the larger LEGO figures, which Croc turned into once it was introduced.
----
* MindControlEyes: The various characters under Brainiac's mind control have glowing rays of green around their blank white eyes.
* MissionControl: Bat-mite gives the hints, and Conan O'Brien guides you around some hub areas.
* MissingTrailerScene: Some variant comic book covers were created for the promotion of ''Batman 3'', to be released as normal comics. Each cover featured the minifigure counterpart of a DC character, and these characters appear in the game -- except the New 52 design of Harley Quinn seen on one cover. It's since been revealed that she's a DLC character.
* TheMusicMeister: The Music Meister himself is a playable character.
* MythologyGag:
** In the trailer when Martian Manhunter [[AvengersAssemble summons the League]], Cyborg is working on [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans the T-Car]].
** Adam West!Batman can throw a bomb. Like the kind that [[Film/BatmanTheMovie some days you just can't get rid of]].
** Joker mentions that [[WesternAnimation/BatmanMaskOfThePhantasm he once had a jetpack, until Batman hitched a ride on it]].
** The cowl of Batman's Sonar Batsuit heavily resembles the one from ''Batman vs Predator''.
* NoSell: All weapon shots and fireballs aimed at Frankenstein will be deflected by his sword, making melee fighting (punches as a bigfig) the only way to kill him. Of course, this isn't very important, since Frankenstein is only a Free Play character, so fighting him will only happen when screwing around in the open world with him as a second character, or a multiplayer opponent.
* OverlyLongGag: The end credits are a callback to the Adam West series with Batman and Robin scaling a wall and speaking with people as they look out of their window. Only the credits are so long that various encounters loop several times.
* RightBehindMe: Happens twice to Kevin Smith when laughing about the lameness of Polka-Dot Man and Condiment King. He says "...he's behind me, isn't he?" both times, and the miniboss battles are triggered.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: The Reach, long time enemy and origin to Blue Beetle, antagonize the Blue Lanterns.
* RoleReprisal: The majority of the voice actors in ''Batman 3'' have had a history voicing those characters. Several voice actors from the ''Arkham'' games reprise their roles as some of the Bat-rogues.
** Creator/ClancyBrown as [[Franchise/{{DCAU}} Lex Luthor]].
** Creator/TaraStrong as [[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity Harley Quinn]].
** Creator/RobinAtkinDownes as [[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueDoom Alfred Pennyworth]] and [[WesternAnimation/SupermanVsTheElite Manchester Black]].
** Creator/GilbertGottfried's second appearance as [[WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries Mr. Mxyptlk]].
** Stephen Amell as [[Series/{{Arrow}} Green Arrow]].
** Creator/JBBlanc as [[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamOrigins Bane]].
** Kimberly Brooks as [[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum Batgirl]] [[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity (sort of)]].
* TheStoic: Batman. This works to his advantage, as the malfunctioning Lantern Rings don't amplify his emotions because Batman hides away his emotions. [[spoiler:However, he has to allow his emotions to come to the surface in order to retrieve the Sinestro Corps' power battery.]]
* TakeThat:
** Creator/KevinSmith rants about having to include polar bears in his Superman movie.
** You get to destroy the Tumbler and build the Batmobile from its pieces.
** Kevin Smith's film reel is stolen and destroyed by Catwoman. Her response?
