3In Gotham City, Batman has taken up a partner in the form of Robin the Boy Wonder and their work together is shown to have an effect on crime in Gotham as the Joker is losing allies in crime. In desperation, Joker turns to the one person who can get his fortunes back in line - Lex Luthor. Meanwhile, the Justice League has recruited a new member to their team in the form of Cyborg, who acts as their troubleshooter. However, when both heroic groups learn of the formation of a Legion of Doom, can the Dynamic Duo (re: Batman) swallow his pride and ask for help?

9!!This series provides examples of:
10
11* AdaptationalWimp: Aquaman. ''Again''.
12* AdaptationalVillainy: Catwoman is designated a bad guy here.
13* AscendedFanboy: Both Robin and Cyborg are treated as these, Cyborg more than Robin.
14* TheCameo: Donna Troy, Beast Boy, Kid Flash, Starfire and Raven make a brief appearance in the end when Robin suggests he and Cyborg make [[ComicBook/TeenTitans their own team in the future]].
15* DumbMuscle: Bane, Solomon Grundy and Bizarro. Bizarro, though, takes the cake.
16* IWorkAlone: Batman's real problem. Lampshaded by Wonder Woman when Luthor has him on the ropes, who tells the rest of the League that Batman isn't going to admit that he's in trouble. So the League takes it as a cue to save his bacon.
17** Hawkman too, although in his case it's more PlayedForLaughs.
18--> "Seriously, I could handle it."
19* LegionOfDoom: Natch. An interesting case here, though, is that Luthor and Joker try to be the head honcho of the group and even get into an argument over its name.
20* SidekickGlassCeiling: Cyborg, at the end, complains that he feels like he and Robin are still stuck on the bottom rungs. Robin reassures him that they're just getting experience so they can make their own team.
21* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Luthor recruits Captain Cold and Cheetah so they can be stand-ins for the captured Mr. Freeze and Catwoman.
